£700 for every hour of the marriage ... and Heather Mills is STILL moaning
Last updated at 14:00pm on 18.03.08She was less than four minutes into the rant when everyone started to pray for another gagging order.
Surely Heather Mills couldn't drag out much longer a simple statement to convey her joy that the case was over and that she was more than £24million richer?
Oh yes she could. She was centre stage now and she wasn't going to let the moment pass.

Heather Mills launched an astonishing tirade after securing £24.3 million in her divorce
In a remarkable performance on the steps of the High Court, she gave a triumphant wave for the cameras - and delivered her account of the settlement with barely concealed venom for the way it had come about.
Her 12 minute rant came after Miss Mills had thrown water over her former husband's lawyer Fiona Shackleton and then laughingly announced that she had been "baptised in court."
Thumbs up: Ms Mills leaving court today
It brought to a close the secretive and acrimonious wrangling over their broken marriage and Heather's financial future.
Or rather it would have done, had not the 40-year-old ex-model announced her determination to appeal today against the judge's decision to make details of the case public.
So her obvious anger was directed mostly at that, and not at the amount of money she managed to cream from the Macca fortune for herself and their daughter Beatrice.
But good grief, it took her long enough to say it.
Across the marble floor of the High Court came the Fab One, down the front steps with a catwalk wiggle and a flick of her hair.
She wore a blood-red blouse and a satisfied smile. She was pleased the case was over and she had secured "an incredible result". But she was clearly furious at the way details of the judgement were being released.
Poor old Heather. Here she was with a mere £24million settlement, probably enough to buy only a few streets in her native Tyne and Wear.
Who could blame the girl if she felt bitter? But no. She was "very, very happy" with the financial settlement, she told us - even though it emerged that she had sought nearly £125million, and that her former husband had offered £15.8million.
From the Heather Mills manual of marriage guidance came this advice: couples should always do their best to resolve their problems instantly.
"Anybody wanting to go through a divorce, try your hardest, man or woman, to settle it immediately.
"And if you're in an impossible situation - which anybody listening will know that, people don't see eye to eye, things get out of hand - you can be a litigant in person."

Jubilant: Ms Mills celebrates her victory with her sister Fiona
The former model addressed the media on the steps of London's High Court today
"The power of one" was how she described it. She labelled herself as "a campaigning girl" and urged others not to be frightened to represent themselves in court, even though, she insisted, the legal system didn't approve of it.
Two years preparing for this day had made her impressively fluent in legal-speak (albeit with a Geordie twang that made the word "litigant" delightfully difficult to distinguish).
On and on she went. On the TV screens, only reporters and policemen could be seen in the background.

Soaked: Miss Mills threw water over her former husband's lawyer Fiona Shackleton then laughingly announced that she had been 'baptised in court'
It made it look at first as if she was alone, a fitting image for her unrepresented battle against the McCartney might and millions.
In fact she was there with her sister Fiona - whom she introduced as a tireless supporter of her crusade - plus a minder and that essential chaperone for anyone contemplating a similar court battle, her personal trainer.
It was Fiona, at her side, who prompted her from time to time when Heather appeared to leave out some of the tastier titbits from the settlement.

Judgement day: McCartney with high-powered lawyer Fiona Shackleton who has been in charge of the protracted and tense settlement negotiations
The judge had found no evidence that McCartney was worth more than £400million, for example, even though "everyone knows" he's been worth twice that for the last 15 years, Heather asserted.
The payout? That would be used to secure her own and her daughter's future, she said.
She also planned to "make a difference" with some of the charities she supported. It took her only 33 words before she mentioned that.
Later she suggested the £600,000 she saved in legal fees might easily have gone to charity, although she didn't specify one.
Particular poison was reserved for Sir Paul's lawyer, Fiona Shackleton. Miss Mills spoke her name with the same kind of disgust that an estranged wife normally reserves for the other woman.
"Fiona Shackleton has very sadly handled this in the worst manner you could ever, ever imagine. She has called me many, many names before even meeting me when I was in a wheelchair."
Of course, the world would never have heard any of this had the judgement remained private.

Sir Paul looked tired and worn as he left court this afternoon
"I wouldn't even be standing here," Heather insisted, because there was a gagging order on her not to reveal marital confidences.
Well all right then. Maybe just a little one from post-separation days. "I wasn't allowed to look at what we spent," Heather told us.
"I was locked out of every home. I won't go into all the horrific details of what has happened because I'm just glad it's over."
And so was everyone else. She had already delivered something approaching 2,000 words.
More is to follow. Today she begins her battle to suppress the court ruling, or at least try to keep some of the personal detail out of the public domain. And after that?
"I really hope now that me and my daughter can have a life and not be followed every single day. That's why I've come out - to give it closure."
Somehow, you got the feeling the Heather Mills story might not be closed quite yet.

She made a lot of money just by marrying a man who made a lot of money just by virtue of royalties and copyright laws.. Sat on his backside most of his "career" just letting it roll in.
I wonder how much truth there is in "money cant buy me love", or "I've been working like a dog"?
These amounts of wealth came about by the public being ripped off by the grasping and exploitative music industry in the first place.
Its funny how things all come down to money one way or another in the family courts.
Just goes to show, the obscene gulf between the rich and the poor does not serve to make them immune to such rather pointless arguments.
I somehow doubt that Paul would have suffered in any material way had he chucked this gold-digger the money she wanted. But, he'd obviously rather clutch onto his obscene wealth with both hands..
They are as bad as each other. They knew what they were getting into, both adults, apparently. The court is not the place to decide these matters.
- Drex, Manchester, England
just another ageing scheming gold digger,would love to see someone do the same to her ,but is probably to crafty to let that happen,feel so sorry that Macca has had to go through this to get rid of her
- Charles D, Swansea, Wales
Only a complete idiot would show any type of support for this vile woman.
The majority of the world is pleased that Sir Paul McCartney won the day and that good overcame the evil that is Heather Mills.
She appears to have lied about so much in her life that she actually believes those lies. And so might a few individuals who can still be conned by this woman. But is the con over?
Heather has stated that she will give 80% of her financial gain to charity. Well, there is no time like the present.

Heather Mills,

While I think she's got absolutely no basis for quibbling about the financial settlement (and yes, it is a little rich (!) to talk about giving "her" money to charity), I somehow doubt that Sir Paul is the saint that some have made him out to be.
None of us really know what goes on in private in others' relationships.
- Peter P, London, UK
Why should she get anything? As far as I can see the marriage is over, she was rich because she was married to Paul McCartney, as the marriage is now ended so should the wealth. He should have to contribute towards his daughter but why should she get anything? Marriage over, lifestyle over, would be the fair approach. This is exactly why I disagree with getting married in the current legal climate, the fact that someone can have claim to wealth that YOU generated if the deal ends, just because they shared a bed and a name with you for a few years.
- Huw Morgan, London, UK
Good for her! She stood up against a famous Beatle; Beatle-mania; men; lawyers masquerading as women, and on her own she fought and won.
Maybe obscenely wealthy people like Paul McCarthy shouldn't take vows and have children in future, if they can't provide for them when it all goes wrong. He is richer than anyone can imagine, you think he'll miss 24 million? that would be bank interest for a few months. She gave him a beautiful little girl that he adores, you can't put a price on that.
Of course when independent women with their own voice speak out, people call them prostitutes as many have done here today. It says more about them than it does about a disabled girl who gave it her all against an icon who can do no wrong....
- Maria, London
I was never particularly on either side in this tedious affair but now I think Sir Paul must thank his lucky stars every single day that he has escaped this awful woman.

I couldn't help by laugh when Heather said, their daughter will only be getting £35,000 a year from Paul, and that's only enough for her to travel 2nd class. Why would an infant need £35,000 a year to travel, and isn't £35,000 still above the national average wage.
Heather Mills really did show her true colours outside court yesterday. She doesn't appear to even deserve £3 million from Paul McCartney because living with her must have been like living with a blow torch.
- Ben S, London
A truly hideous, deranged, self centred, Walter Mitty inflicted, talentless, delusional tramp. And that's the most charitable I can come up with. I hope she leaves this country because she is a shame to it.
I'm sorry..but Paul McCartney is a national treasure (hideously overused and tacky phrase though it is) who has more talent in his little finger than she can even conceive of. He is part of the history and fabric of this nation. She is a pebble in its shoe and should be treated as such.
- Andy, London, UK
Paul McCartney has one thing in common with the ex-Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer. They both paid to get laid but it cost the ex-Beatle $1,400 per hour.
The difference is that the ex-Governor knew what he was getting himself into.

"It was always going to be a figure between £20 and £30 million" - why did you ask for £125 million then?
"Everyone knows he has been worth £800 million for the last 15 years" - so in other words he has earnt nothing since he met you. Why did you ask for £125 million then?

That woman has zero class. Good on Sir Paul for finally getting rid of the Frankenbride.
- Noel, Nottingham, UK
In most divorce settlements of this kind the wife will receive a proportion of the husbands wealth dependant on how long they have been married, how much of her time she has spent raising their children and helping run their business and/or home. Unless I am mistaken Ms Mills was married for 4 years, during which time the wealth was already in place and she had to contribute nothing to the marriage bar herself. In fact, if anyone has come away from the relationship better off it is her as she now has better contacts, has been on TV and is allegedly working for various charities, all based on the profile hike the marriage gave her. As such perhaps Ms Mills could explain why she deserves 25% of Sir Paul’s fortune rather than performing a ludicrous rant and embarrassing anyone connected with her (including the charities)?
As for their daughter, I honestly can't see her wanting for anything throughout her life, I doubt very much Paul will be estranged as he has deliberately fought for 50% custody, the only thing I would be worried about is her mother poisoning her mind against her father and the world at large.

Men in the U.K., here in the United States there is a man named Tom Leykis who hosts a nationally syndicated radio program. The program essentially teaches men how not to be used or duped by women.

Gold Digger, she received so much more than she deserved. Let's hope the daughter does grow up too much the spoiled brat. Nice allowance she'll receive, but the biggest gift will be Sir Pauls' love, which I'm sure is strong as ever and despite mum's scorn and greed.

Middle-aged American, fan of Sir Paul McCartney for so many years. Disgusted and saddened by this "thing", and how animals like this can mis-use the justice system to their own ends. What a shame: The court didn't give her enough money "for her daughter." Whatever. I'm sure Sir Paul loves his daughter and will do right by her. I despise people who use their children as weapons.
To Sir Paul: At this time of Easter, we learn that Christ's love is for all time. May God guide your comings and goings, now and ever. Most sincerely,
- Sig, Portland OR, USA
The sad lesson learned is don't let wonderful feelings/emotions of a new relationship prevent from having a Prenuptial Agreement. If the relationship is not about the money then why did she settle for $25 million? If the relationship is not about money then why not have a fair Prenuptial up front?
I really like Sir Paul and Love the Beatles but it's really Sir Paul's lack of judgement.
Love conquers all.

You know, when Heather was dancing on Dancing With the Stars I started to think all the stuff that had been written about her was false. Thanks Heather. Now I know what a ridiculous fool you really are. If I had been the judge that 37,000 pounds would be just about all you'd get.
- Ed, Washington, DC USA
Exactly what did she contribute to his career to warrant this payout? She wasn't even born when he laid foundation for his fortune. Ridiculous!

Maybe McCartney doesn't want his daughter to grow up to be a spoiled brat like Heather. There's nothing wrong with going to public school. I'm sure she will inherit much more. I'm sure she'll be pampered all her life anyway, but is that good for a person? I don't think so! This whole thing is clearly about a gold digger and 50 million dollars she didn't earn!

- Gayle, Park City, Utah USA
Heather is a gold digger and deserves nothing. She should just go out and get a job like most other single mothers have to. At least she won't have to worry about her daughter's expenses and education. Beatrice will be better off spending time with the nanny anyway.
- Scott, New York, USA
A shocking indictment of the British legal system. How can they expect a child to live on 35,000 a year?
That is only 10,000 a year more than the highest paid teachers. there needs to be an acceptable pay gap between people who work long thankless jobs and the super rich.
I hope through all this we see that the real victim here, is Miss Mills' unemployed penniless legal team.
- Andy, Manchester, UK
Heather, honey, take the money and please go quietly. Sir Paul earned his fortune over the past 45 years. You have confiscated quite a bit of it in 4 short years of marriage. I can't imagine your doing poorly with that kind of money in hand. If you're looking for sympathy, please look elsewhere.
- Danbo, Denver, CO
This woman had nothing, zero, to do with the success of Paul McCartney and still she is not happy?
Of course when Paul marries a woman who is 30 years younger than him he should have suspected she was a gold digger.
- Dennis, Chicago USA
All I can say is that everyone in the USA despises this woman. Paul is universally beloved here and Heather is hated beyond belief. She needs to shut her mouth and disappear!
- Candace, Lake Arrowhead, California, USA
It's sad. Their daughter gets dragged through this and is used as a bargaining chip. Paul McCartney has enough money to see that his daughter never, ever, goes without. Does anybody believe that Ms. Mills will be in any way forced to live in poverty as the result of this court decision?
She married McCartney for the money. He was susceptible and did a foolish thing and married her, as men are apt to do. Neither of the adults in this case are harmed in the least. The daughter, she'll see some real harm out of the entire mess.
- Jim, Cleveland, OH
She ought to take half the money and get herself checked into a mental clinic. Go in for a month or two and then come out and see the larger picture how foolish she's looked -- a money-grubbing, egotistical, slightly psychotic, narcissistic woman.

Why does one have to be rich to help in charitable ways? Yet especially in England, this seems to be the case. There should be a charity tabloid for her kind of news, so she doesn't have to wipe the media's lens with Paul McCartney.

At last, we can get a rest from whining Heather Mills. Her tearful rants against the media are the product of an admittedly unfavourable press, but brought on by her own cocktail of egotistical, incessant self-pity.
I hope she now gives everyone a break and concentrates on her charity work, and desists in displaying her unpleasant characteristics once and for all.
- Martin, la Paz, Bolivia
now THAT was a long and winding road! Love ya Paul - chin up!
- David Bull, Orient, New York USA
Heather Mills constantly harps about "charities" and the fight all started over Paul's disagreement with Heather desiring to give a vast portion of his money away to the charities of her choice.
She's nuts. It's Paul's money, not hers.
In the end she'll live a life of luxury and now that it's "her" money I doubt that she will give it all away.
Paul has a right to do as he sees fit with his wealth, her greed and inappropriate demands ended this divorce. She'll most likely live her life alone and making her daughter bitter.
I hope Paul does give all his money away at his death to the charities of HIS choice and not to his daughter as we all know Heather will manipulate her too!

- Meredith, Fairfield, Connecticut
Heather should be happy with the settlement and just tone it down. She and her daughter are very well set for the rest of their lives. Unless she foolishly blows it.
- Paul, NYC
Why do I think that McCartney could have made this a bit less public had he just paid her off the 50 Million years ago? In the end, really just how much money does one person need? I would think that to get rid of this nastiness and bad will he would have done just that. For some reason this protracted battle was worth it to him. Life is too short and his bank account is too healthy for that.
- Saywho, Los Angeles, CA USA
Well, she got what she wanted, and what it was all about from the beginning. Cash. Did you notice that she says
"secure mine and my daughter's future". Notice who comes first? And how every other sentence is about HER charity work? And now it's over. I just hope that this means they won't find any more nude photos of her and publish them. Even with two legs, and being nude, you can see in her eyes what she was all about.

His first wife was so classy and such a winner, and her loss was truly a tragedy.
Then he ended up with this one. It's easy I guess when you've been with a winner to misjudge the character of some who takes her place.
It's a love story turned by the tragic loss into a nightmare. He must be glad to be rid of her, and it is a shame that he'll never find anyone who can be the equal of his first wife.
Life can be unfair, even to the rich and famous.

I can't believe foolish McCartney wants to send his little daughter to a state school. Poor little tyke, her life will probably be made a misery by bullying. But then he's a fool for letting the lawyers spin this out for so long. He should have made a reasonable offer (which he wouldn't have noticed anyway) and not forced the issue like he has. Then Ms Shackleton would have missed out on her bumper pay-day, so she wasn't ever going to advise that was she.
- Sal, London, UK
Congrats Heather, you've ably demonstrated in your rant everything you claim people make up about you. You live in a delusional world of greed that you sugar-coat with sound bites of "charity this, charity that". Prior to you having money, you did no charity work so where this 20 years comes from...
If a judge says 400M pounds, then that is the facts. No use railing against it otherwise you're own defence is open to interpretation.

Heather comes across as an opportunist and a gold digger. I think she is a bitter, sour little tart who is mad at the world for her lost leg and will make anybody around her miserable if they don't bow down to her. Paul is no more "nasty" or cruel than she is but, it makes good copy to accuse him doesn't it?
- George, Cumberland, RI USA
It seems that they both got what they deserved. I hope that each can now find happiness, unfortunately neither can now hope that their next love will not have their eyes more on their bank account than on the relationship.
- Frank, Chicago, USA
Heather seems extremely unpleasant and unbelievably out of touch with what "normal" life means. She has a bit more money than "normal" folks and should be able to make it by with what the courts awarded her. Why does she think she is worth more? It's nothing less than disgusting, let's hope she can shut up now.
- Todd Luckey, Phoenix AZ USA
Seriously, never mind "long hair flying", Heather looks seriously deranged in many of the recent photos!
- Marianne, SW France
Hopefully, Heather will accept what the judge has chosen to do and be done with this high drama. Unfortunately, I suspect that the longer she can draw this out that the longer she can stay in the spotlight, which seems to be her goal. Here's hoping that she'll realize her celebrity is not based on admiration or talent and that she takes what McCartney offers and slinks quietly away. However, I'm not expecting that.
