Heather Mills has reportedly drawn up a £200million list of demands as part of the financial settlement of her divorce from Paul McCartney.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Heather has told her legal team that she wants four of their homes - in London, Los Angeles, New York and the lodge on Peasmarsh estate in Sussex - with new cars and maintenance staff at each home. She also wants round-the-clock protection for her and her daughter Beatrice and clothing, entertainment and food allowances for the two of them in addition to an annual allowance for herself. Access to a private plane and helicopter, in addition to annual holidays, were also on the list.

Heather is also reportedly demanding a £50million “back payment”, claiming she was unable to get media work during her marriage to Paul.

A source told the newspaper Paul’s recently claim that he made a financial loss during their marriage spurred Heather into action: “Heather was reeling from Paul’s counter-claims. She’s drawn up a list of exactly what she will need to carry on in the lifestyle she’s used to.”

“She says before she met him she used to earn lots of money, but being with him destroyed her earning potential. She kept going on about how all the television companies wanted her before she met Paul but, because of him, no one would give her any work unless she could bring him as well. The truth is, she didn’t earn a lot before. Her television work was minimal and as a ‘reporter’ she earned no more than £1,000 per show.”

“She earned a bit more for the American work she did, but she never would have got that had she not been married to Paul.”

“She also said that money used to pour in for her charities, but because of all the negative publicity, donations went right down and she had to fund all the work herself - resulting in her losing money.”

Another source added that Paul is unlikely to agree to her demands: “Heather is living in dream land. She hardly earned millions before they got together. If anything, her profile and therefore earning potential escalated after she met Paul.”

“Paul has spent years building up his property portfolio and he’s not going to be giving up any homes he owns without a fight.”

In another report in the Mail on Sunday, a source close to Heather denied that she is demanding as much as such rumours suggest: “Heather had around £10 million in mind when she started divorce proceedings. All these huge figures are way off the mark.”

“Now that lawyers are involved, I don’t know exactly how much it will eventually be - but it will be nothing like as much as has been said.”
