LONDON, March 17 (RIA Novosti) - Former Beatles frontman Paul McCartney was ordered by a London court on Monday to pay his estranged wife almost $50 million in a divorce settlement.
Heather Mills, 40, will receive 24.3 million pounds, of which 16 million will be in cash. The sum represents about 6% of McCartney's wealth, which the judge put at around 400 million pounds ($800 mln).
Speaking to reporters outside the High Court, the charity campaigner and former model said: "I'm so happy."
However, she said she would appeal against the publication of the court judgment "because it has so many private details about me and my daughter."
The couple were together for only four years after their 2002 marriage, and have a four-year-old daughter, Beatrice. McCartney, 60, had filed for divorce accusing his wife of "unreasonable behavior."
Mills had repeatedly complained of media hounding since the separation, and said last year she had been "treated worse than a murderer or a pedophile."
British tabloids have focused on her colorful past, accusing her of being a former porn star. Although she featured in a German sex guide entitled Die Freuden Der Liebe (The Joys of Love) published 20 years ago, her lawyers insist the images of her simulating sex acts are not pornographic.
After a motorbike accident in 1993, Mills had her left leg amputated below the knee.
