<p>Paul’s a romantic and I’ll bet chose not to have a pre-nup (most likely against his lawyers’ advice). I feel sorry for him because he will still have to deal with his ex (who seems a little unbalanced) because of their daughter. </p>
<p>The court put McCartney’s worth at 800 million…not even a billion. Property values must be coming down.</p>
<p>That’s 800 million POUNDS, ellemenope – so it is over a billion dollars… not a penny of which the former Ms. McCartney had anything to do with…</p>
<p>So Mrs McCartney’s added pounds during the marriage were precisely matched by those shed by her husband.</p>
<p>Of course, he had plenty to lose to begin with. Maybe subway could use him as a spokesman…makes Jarod’s loss look piddling.</p>
<p>Family Court put McCartney’s worth at 400 million pounds (or $800 Million).</p>

<p>What about his first wife estate? I believe she is an heir to the Kodak fortune right?</p>
<p>Nah, Columbia… that was just a rumor. Linda Eastman McCartney was no relation to THOSE Eastmans… she and Paul found it amusing, though.</p>
<p>ellemenope – you’re right… the $800 million POUNDS is what Heather said he’s worth… which of course doesn’t make her any less greedy.</p>
<p>Linda Eastman McCartney’s dad was very astute about money on behalf of his daughter and son-in-law, which in part precipitated the fallout between McCartney and the other Beatles when he had to sue them or break up their business deal, something along those lines, according to the Dad’s instructions. Ick. But I guess that implies that Linda had good money management via her Dad as advisor.</p>
<p>I thought it was Linda’s kids who were most upset about Heather’s opportunism re: Paul. But then before I could find it all out, it was my turn to pay for my groceries…</p>
<p>I too have been reading too much of the National Enquirer at the check out line.:D</p>
<p>I think the $50 mill is best analyzed by the daily rate during the nmarriage which I read somewhere (the check out line?) to be $34,000.</p>
<p>I’m with over30 and alwaysamom-
She should have paid to be married to Paul! Maybe she drove him to drink!</p>
<p>Ahhhh, this explains it! She came up with the “brilliant” idea that he use an acrylic fingernail when he played the guitar, as his own nail wore down and bled. Thats worth $50 million, I guess… [McCartney</a> Nails Mills - March 18, 2008](<a href=“The Smoking Gun: Public Documents, Mug Shots”>McCartney Nails Mills | The Smoking Gun)</p>
