Mills v McCartney. A Multi-Million Pound Case
Posted on 25-02-2008 | Posted in Betting by Gambling Diva
Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney have been in all the papers recently arguing over the divorce settlement. Another opportunity for a bet there!
Sir Paul, who has spent millions of pounds assembling the finest law team money can buy is campaigning to ensure his former wife Heather Mills gets no more than she is entitled to. Heather Mills, representing herself in court, is endeavouring for much more than Sir Paul thinks she is entitled to.
McCartney made an offer of £10million in settlement but the case is ongoing and due to divorce law Heather Mills stands to walk away with much more of McCartney’s estimated fortune of over £800million.
In 2005 the average divorce settlement awarded to stay at home wives was 53%, an amount that wuold leave Heather Mills upwards of £400 million. Other fairly recent celebrity divorce settlements saw Colin Montgomery and Chris Tarrant both lose 50% of their wealth.
Odds on pay-off amount from Paul McCartney to Heather Mills, as of Mon 25th Feb 08:
Nothing - 500/1
£10-£20 million - 20/1
£20-£50 million - 1/3
£50-£100 million - 1/1
£100-£350 million - 10/1
£250-500 million - 50/1
