Paul McCartney left a London courthouse today looking decidedly lighter in the wallet.

He was ordered by the courts to cough up close to $50 million to his ex-wife, Heather Mills.

Mills told reporters she was "very, very happy" about the decision. She'd asked for $250 million. Macca had only offered $31.7 million.

The couple's 4-year-old daughter will get about $70,000 per month. And her Beatle daddy will also have to pay his daughter's school and nanny fees.

Well, as long as everyone's happy...

Cleverly playing the charity card, a smiling Mills told reporters: "It was an incredible result in the end to secure my and my daughter's future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with -- because you know it has been my life for 20 years."

Heather is really a piece of work. Her comment regarding her charity work "because you know it has been my life for 20 years". She was only married for 4 years. How and what was the amount she contributed prior to her saying I DO to Paul? Whatever method and/or amount she used prior, she should be expected to use same method. THE MAYFLOWER MADAM DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON HEATHER. A ***** IS A *****, but the technique used evidently is priceless.
