Paul McCartney & Heather Mills Reach A Settlement
According to the deal, Heather Mills will pocket almost $64 million (not bad for four years).
Additionally, Heather will also get to keep Paul's $8 million home in a suburb of London and she will also get McCartney's $12 million mansion in Beverly Hills.
Paul has agreed because he is desperate to keep details of the split private.
His daughters Stella, 35, and Mary, 37, are furious. They wanted their stepmum discredited in court.
But the top-secret deal means Sir Paul will never be able to publicly denounce claims in Mucca's divorce papers that he stabbed her with a broken wine glass and shoved her into a bath while she was pregnant.
A source close to Macca's girls said: "Stella and Mary are baying for blood.
"Their poor dad has been dragged through the mire by this woman, and all they wanted was to see his name cleared on the record, in public.
"Stella used to joke about looking forward to the day when Heather didn't even have one leg to stand on in court. But now that day will never come."
The megabucks settlement has been drawn up by the same briefs who thrashed out Charles and Diana's divorce—Anthony Julius from Mischon de Reya and Fiona Shackleton, a partner at Payne Hicks Beach.
But this deal is worth almost DOUBLE the £17million Di was awarded in 1996.
A well-placed source said: "This way Paul gets to have the divorce in private, which is all he ever wanted, and Heather avoids risking her case falling apart. She's delighted."
She will earn at least a million pounds a year in interest from the cash sum alone.
