How Much Did Paul Pay Heather Mills?

After a brief divorce battle, Mills Heather was ultimately granted a $50 million payout from McCartney. She had previously been seeking $250 million. Paul initially offered $30 million.

The final amount was seen as a victory for Paul who also had to provide a $5 million stipend for Heather to buy a home in London and $1 million per year in spousal support for 5 years.

Mr Justice Bennett said in his ruling that there was no evidence of Mills’s “charitable giving” in her tax returns, ridiculed her claim to have been McCartney’s business partner as “make believe” and said she was a “volatile and explosive” personality who could be her “own worst enemy”.

He also rejected her argument that she had rekindled McCartney’s “professional flame” after he had lost his first wife, Linda, to cancer.

The divorce was granted on May 12, and the preliminary divorce decree was finalised six weeks later.
