Paul McCartney Divorce Settlement

After a brief divorce battle, 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 five years.

Early Life

Mills was born on January 12, 1968, in Aldershot, Hampshire in England. Her father, John Mark Francis Mills, was a former paratrooper, and her mother, Beatrice Mary Mills, was the daughter of a colonel in the British Army. The family moved often in Mills's young, to Alnwick in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, and Rothbury. Mills attended Usworth Grange Primary School and then the Usworth Comprehensive School when she got older. They also often spent holidays in Libanus and lived there for a time as well.

Mills' childhood was somewhat tumultuous, as her mother Beatrice left when Mills was nine years old to live with actor Charles Stapley. Mills remained with her father, along with her older brother, Shane, and younger sister, Fiona. Mills has since divulged that her father was occasionally violent with the children, which he has disputed, and that the family often was without food and had to resort to stealing. Mills moved to live with her mother in London after her father was jailed for 18 months following a conviction of fraud. This led to additional instability in Mills' life, as she has claimed she was periodically homeless and also admitted to stealing from jewelry shops.

At the age of 18, Mills met Alfie Karmal, who was ten years her senior and the two began a relationship. Karmal would buy Mills expensive clothing and jewelry and also paid for Mills to have plastic surgery. He encouraged her to begin modeling by setting up an agency for her, ExSell Management, though it was ultimately unsuccessful. After Mills moved to Paris on the false claim that she had secured a modeling contract with a cosmetics company, she actually became a mistress for the Lebanese millionaire, George Kazan. She then returned to London two years later and asked Karmal to marry her, which they did in May of 1989. However, they divorced in 1991, and Mills began seeing Raffaele Mincione, a bonds dealer. The two got engaged in 1993.

In summary, the total wealth of Heather Mills reflects strategic moves.
