May 20, 1999: The Night That Cost Paul McCartney Over $50 Million (£25 million)
On May 20, 1999, Paul McCartney attended the first annual Pride Of Britain Awards at the Dorchester Hotel in London's Mayfair. He presented the Linda McCartney Award for Animal Welfare to Juliet Gellatley. Here is the a photo of Paul & Juliet on that now very expensive and fateful night…
As the old saying goes, "No good deed goes unpunished", that very night Sir Paul met Heather Mills whom he would eventually marry three years later on June 11, 2002.
Mills and McCartney separated in 2006 and on March 17, 2008 their highly publicised divorce was finalized and Mills was awarded £24.3 million ($50 Million U.S.) of Paul's money.

24.3 milion pounds is not $50 million, it's $40 million.
Well… I am GLAD it didn’t cost him more. I have to say, despite all the ‘good deeds’ that Heather Mills had done and are doing, she will never shake the gold-digger reputation she acquired from her marriage to Paul and that heavy divorce settlement.
