$1:
The judgment included 35,000 pounds ($70,000) a year for the couple's 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice. Mills said she was unhappy with that amount because it isn't enough for school tuition, private security, or first-class airfare.
"He likes her to fly five times a year on holiday," Mills said of McCartney. "It's 17,000 (pounds) for two people return (round-trip) first class, so that's obviously not meant to happen for her anymore. It's very sad."

What! She can't use some of the $50 million the judge gave her to help her own kid out.

If "he" likes her to fly several times a year on holiday, "he" should pay for it. It shouldn't come out of the child support. School tuition and private security should either be extras split between the 2 of them... or it was accounted for when the monthly amount was decided upon.
Otherwise... yes. $50 million would go a long way toward raising a child in stylish comfort.

I understand that if "he" wants her to fly first class to him, then yes he should pay that himself. The private school tuition and private security should come from eithier the $50 million or the $70,000 granted. I know from my own experience that my child support payments include school tuition.
My big gripe was that she complained that the 70 grand a year for her kid was not enough even though she got a 50 millin dollar settlement for 4 years of marriage. I mean I think I could squeeze a couple first class tickets for my son to come see me if I had 50 million.

Wow, and people thought Eliot Spitzer was getting ripped off at $1000 / hour. Poor Paul got nailed for over $1400 / hour.

Maybe he just should have thought before he married her...
I have absolutely no pitty for that man.
If you want a nice young girl, be prepared, 'cause that will cost you, big time.

Like Rick Mercer said: "Looking back, this is probably when he should have just pushed her in."

$1:
Mills had sought almost $250 million, while McCartney had said she should receive $31.6 million, including her own assets, which the court assessed at $15.6 million.
Considering the dolt didn't sign a prenup I am amazed she didn't get more. I guess firing her lawyers didn't help her.

I just heard a report on the news say that it breaks down to $14 000 a month or $1600 an hour for the time she was married to him.

Apparently she slipped out the side door of the court house so as not to talk to the press. She did however come out the front first to have a press scrum to have her points known on how unfair it all is. 
canuckns @ Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:08 pm
Yeah eh. Poor her only got 50 million. Darn bad luck.
If she really does not like the 50 mil she got or 70k a year for her daughter, i'll happily take it off her hands.
Brenda @ Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:11 pm
Why are you all pissed at her?
He is goddamned lucky she didn't get half of all he owns. It takes two to tango, guys!
