Apparently the importance of a prenup eluded Sir Paul…

Regardless of how much money you have, I’m a big believer in signing a prenup before you get married. Which is why this story is particularly painful to report on. Because Sir Paul McCartney didn’t have Heather Mills sign a prenup, he may end up shelling out big bucks for her to go away.  His lawyer recently offered Mills $40 million which she promptly turned down, asking for $100 million. Ouch!

Here’s the thing. If you help someone build their empire, possibly putting your career on hold, possibly birthing and/or caring for children while your spouse brings home the bacon, I understand why you’re entitled to a significant portion of that fortune if and when you part ways. But why should Heather Mills be entitled to Beatle money? It’s ludicrous and greedy. ‘Nuf said.
