Once Heather was reunited with her daughter, the pair flew to Heathrow in a navy blue Sikorsky 76A helicopter and boarded the 3pm flight to Los Angeles. Paul flew to New York an hour later. The bill for Heather’s two-hour helicopter ride was £4,770.
Meanwhile, Heather - who has hired Anthony Julius, the late Princess Diana’s divorce lawyer - is set to submit her counter claim this week and it is believed her revelations about their four-year marriage will stun the world.
Sir Paul McCartney is so desperate to divorce Heather Mills he would pay her £50 million to avoid court, it has been reported - Aug 14, 2020
The former Beatles legend has admitted he can’t face the stress of a court battle and if he thought Heather would accept the offer he would write out a cheque immediately. A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: "If it was up to Paul he’d settle this matter now. If Heather would accept £50 million and go away quietly he would write the cheque to get it over and done with.
"This divorce has hit Paul really hard. He doesn’t want the hassle of a court battle."
Heather reportedly turned down the offer of £30 million to avoid a court battle and some have suggested she may be entitled to up to a quarter of Paul’s estimated £825 million fortune.
Last week, relations between the estranged couple - who have a two-year-old daughter Beatrice - became even more strained. Paul reportedly froze their joint bank account and changed the locks to his London home.
Heather has even accused Paul of spying on her, claiming she has found a log kept by his security team which recorded her every movement for the past few months.
A source revealed: "Heather spotted the minder’s logs of all movements in and out of the property. She accused Paul of spying on her. Paul said he didn’t know anything about it.

The royal twist is the latest in the bitter divorce battle which the McCartneys have become locked in. A close friend of Heather’s told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: “Heather is determined to prove that she is not the gold digger but that doesn’t mean she is going to let Paul wipe the floor with her.”
Heather has employed the services of Antony Julius who famously won Diana
£17 million in her divorce settlement despite her admissions of infidelity. After the divorce Diana rewarded him with a silver blotter from Aprey’s and a note which read: “Thank you for giving me back my wings.”
Sir Paul McCartney’s legal team is headed by Fiona Shackleton, who represented Prince Charles in the divorce. It was she who forced Diana to give up her royal title of ‘HRH’. On Monday (07.08.09) Heather was humiliated when the police were called to Sir Paul’s London home after she tried to gain entry when she found herself locked out. Sir Paul has also reportedly frozen their joint bank account and fired all members of his staff who have any links to Heather.

At the age of 15 he met John Lennon. Together with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they formed the most successful group in the history of music--the Beatles.
Since the Beatles, Paul has released 21 albums and staged three world tours, while evolving into classical composition, film-making and actively campaigning for ecology and animal rights After the Beatles split up in 1970, Paul embarked on a solo career before forming the group Wings with his wife, American Linda McCartney, which had some success but never to the scale of the Beatles, That has never yet again been seen, (even now)
His solo period during the eighties culminated with charity performances at Live Aid and for The Prince of Wales Trust, leading him to get back on the road again. Since 1990, Paul McCartney has traveled over 800,000 miles in concert through 22 countries, setting, along the way, the Guinness world record for the largest stadium crowd in the history of rock and roll--184,000 in Rio de Janeiro. During the same time, he also established the "MTV Unplugged" vogue and then performed his acoustic show in clubs and pubs around Europe.
In 1991, Paul staged the performance of his first classical work, "The Liverpool Oratorio", which has since been performed in more than 50 cities worldwide. In 1995--the 30th anniversary of his most acclaimed song, "Yesterday"-- Paul’s second classical work, "A Leaf," was performed at a benefit concert he organized for the Royal College of Music at St. James Palace. Paul composed a major orchestral work, commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of EMI Records.
In recognition of his work for all music, Paul was recently appointed Fellow of the Royal College of Music, the U.K.’s highest musical honour. Aside from his music, Paul McCartney campaigns for Greenpeace, Friends of The Earth and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He and his wife Linda are the new patrons of the British Vegetarian Society. He is also the chief patron of The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, a new school similar to New York’s High School of the Performing Arts, which will open in his hometown in 1996. Paul has also developed his interest in film-making. His first production, "Daumier’s Law," won the top prize in 1992 at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.
His latest short feature, "Grateful Dead, A Photofilm," will be entered in the London Film Festival at the invitation of the British Film Institute. He was also knighted by the Queen and made a ’Sir’ Paul and Linda had three children between them as well as Linda daughter from a previous marriage, which Paul adopted as his own. Linda died of breast cancer in 1998, she was only 56.
All of their children are a success in their own right Stella McCartney is head designer at Gucci after a very successful stint as head designer for Chloe and daughter Mary is a successful photographer just as her mother Linda was before her.
Three years after the death of his first wife Paul met Heather Mills at a charity event where Mills was raising financial assistance for the Heather Mills Trust, a foundation providing artificial limbs to war victims across the globe. Mills, a former swimsuit model, lost her left leg below the knee in 1993 after being hit by a police motorcyclist.
