The judgment is in.
Paul MacCartney paid £24.3 million rather than the £15.8 million he wanted to pay Mills: i.e. 6.5% over his claim. The golddigger wanted £125 million (“it’s nothing to do with the money”) & so got 87% less than she wanted.
By Geeklawyer’s (corrected, *blush*) calculations McCartney won 13 to one. Even so, that was some very expensive sex. He’d have been better off hiring a high priced call girl: oh wait. Erm, no: don’t wait: that accusation was never pursued against her as Geeklawyer understands it; he presumes this is so because it was either utterly untrue — or that it was true but they could not secure the evidence. Imagine the F&BPs for that one!:

REQUEST
Has the Claimant ever worked as a high priced call girl?
ANSWER
The Claimant is embarrassed by the question as she is not sure what a ‘high price’ is.

Having given away the kind of sex that most mean dream of for the price of a dinner, Ms R wonders where she went wrong..
She needs to know how to price herself — lawyers, help please.
I think you need a decent pimp, not a lawyer.
Where you went wrong was in the lack of ambition.
I wonder how much you’d get out of Ringo, enough to get a round in?
Serves her right, expecting to profit off earnings prior to their marriage.
Wonder what would happen if Yoko remarried…
I went past Yoko in a street near Chancery Lane about 10 years ago. Slightly surreal. I was mildly tempted to say “you fucked up the Beatles you bitch”. She didn’t have any minders so I’d have got away with it.
… to which I hope Yoko would have replied “get over it”
I wouldn’t normally presume to correct you GL, but my understanding is that Paul’s offer was £8m — he proposed that she should exit the marriage with assets of £15.8 million, inclusive of her own assets of £7.8m. (Sorry if I’m being dull.)
Still, your point about expensive sex remains…
Yup. You are right & I’m wrong.
Is that right-I thought she got £24m and he had offered £15m?
Oh-I see JB made the same point.
She can’t fly first class any more
Expensive sex.…? I have heard that some people have a ‘thing’ about starting litigation simply because they can then go to a truly expensive law firm and endure the possibility of financial ruin… at the hands of people dressed in unusual outfits…
I don’t know. I could be wrong… but I’m sure I had Google “Safe Search is ON’ when I started looking for information about top law firm fees in 2008.
Oh I’ve heard this too and it seems evident from some litigation. Sadly I haven’t been the beneficiary but I live in hope. Heather, Hun email me, K?
I was brought up properly. I was always told … “Charon.. when you go to a party… do your best to understand and tolerate the unusual behaviour of others.. fit in… play up… play up… play the game…”
So I did… and now I find myself wondering when GL is going to put a pole on his blawg so we can all do a bit of pole dancing late of an evening.…
Please understand.. when I go on to various English religious websites (of all variants — I do not discriminate) as I surely will on Good Friday.… I shall fit in… I have been to B&Q… so should be able to knock up the necessary accessories and comply with ‘dress code’.
Sorry… must go… off to my pontius pilates class…at Esporta.… must keep myself in shape.…
maybe there was a discount factor for not being able to play footsie properly?
Yeah, you’d want a high class call girl with two legs
