Now you might think that he would have got a pre-nup. Especially with her (very possibly just rumor, but I actually have friends who know this lady), er, reputation. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Seems like he isn't the only one getting shafted... THE 25-year marriage of Greg and Laura Norman is over. The former world No. 1 golfer has confirmed the split to the Herald. While he would not go into the details, it is understood the settlement could result in his wife getting as much as $200 million http://www.smh.com.au/news/golf/normans-200m-divorce/2006/05/17/1147545392034.html Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 McCartney has only been married 4 years or something. For her to run away with a fair % of his work he did before being 60 and ever meeting here would be just crazy if you ask me. BofC, she does tons of charity now doesn't she? I had heard she was very much a socialite or whatever you call em. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Eddie Murphy in his classic Raw stand up show has some great wisdom about Rich men divorcing. "I saw Johnny Carson on the front page. There was a picture of him like this: Then I said, "What's up with Johnny?" I turned to the inside story and his wife was on the other page and she was like this: And over her head it said, "Johnny's wife wants half Johnny's money." I turned that sh*t back to Johnny. Then I started thinking about it. Half. If you... If you have $5 and have to give somebody $2.50 you'd be upset. Johnny had to have at least 300 million. And have to give up $150 million? And they wasn't even married but ten years. And $150 million? Get... Give me a f**king break. What...? What...? And ladies... Now, here's a woman right here saying, "Right on." Baby, that's not fair. Not no $150 million. I see a lot of you ladies going: "Get all the money you can, shit. I'm glad she did get all that money. "She earned it. She earned it. That... You damn right. "She was married to him, she deserved that money." Get the f*ck out of my face with that bulls**t. No. Stop it. No, don't get me wrong. If you marry somebody and neither one of you have anything and you build $300million together, you deserve half. But Johnny was $300million in when they met. And I'm quite sure she knew. Johnny says, "Hey, I'm Johnny." She was like, "I know who you are, motherf***er." And they got married, broke up, sh*t didn't work out. And then he had to give her $150 million of his money. I know a lot of housewives sitting out there going: "You can't put a price on what I do." But, ladies, if you marry a man with $300 million, you ain't no regular housewife. You ain't got to clean the house no more. You get a maid. You ain't cleaning sh*t! You marry a man with $300million, you ain't cooking. You're eating out. You marry... You know how a lot of housewives gotta get jobs on the side to help make ends meet? He got $300 million, the ends are meeting like a motherf***er. What you gonna do, get a job at a boutique on the weekends and sh*t? And say, "Here, Johnny. I made $70 put that with the rest. "Now we have $300 million and $70 . "Because I want to do my share." No. All you have to do, you marry a man with $300million, is f**k your husband. That's it! That's your job. **** your husband! That's it. That's... Just **** your husband. You fill out a W2 they say, "What you do?" You say, "I f**k my husband." That's it. And I've had my share of pussy. I have yet... Even if the pussy was great and sparks shot out the woman's ass and cannons blared and the mountains crumbled and the seas roared, no pussy is worth $150million! No pussy. I'd like to meet some pussy like that. Put the shit on layaway. That sh*t scared the shit out of me. Half? I was petrified. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yes, but will she get his large greenhouse full of dope plants? He got caught with seven ounces in Japan. That's not your average smoker. He must have had some trippy buds before coming up with the "Frog Chorus". I'm surprised he earned 48 mill UK last year tbh. I though Jacko owned all the tunes. Macca needs to get "Mr Loophole" on his side, the bloke that gets all the footballers off speeding on technicalities. Last time it was Lee Bowyer because the measured mile was fifty yards short.

soubriquet 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 So he'll be down to his last 200 million quid? My heart bleeds. Let's hope he doesn't re-form Wings to earn a little money. Oh Lord, please save us... Link to post Share on other sites

silly-sausage 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Then don't post in the thread. Soubs, he is worth 800 million apparently, so he's still got around 600. He'll be all right, I'm sure Link to post Share on other sites

IIIII 2 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 He will use the "genius clause" >>> "In the big money cases, especially where there are long marriages, the courts have upheld that instead of going 50/50, if there was a special contribution from one half and that was built up by a uniquely creative element, or genius, the other half would get less than 50%."

Davo 1 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Apologies for my rudeness silly-sausage. What I should have said was "who really cares?". He'll get over it if he's pulling 48 million quid a year. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Are they actually getting divorced? I thought it was trial separation for now? Macca has been touring and he's a big draw. MJ owning lots of Beatles tunes but surely Macca gets performance cash and stuff from Beatles? Totally don't know how all that works but would be interested to know. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 So, "only" 25 million. I think it is disgusting that a woman who marries a guy worth 800 million and does sod all only gets 25 million when she divorces him 4 years later! I'm sure you agree. Quote: Heather Mills has been awarded a £24.3m divorce payout from Sir Paul McCartney, according to a court judgment released today. She had sought £125m from the 60-year-old former Beatle, the judgment reveals, but received a fifth of that amount. McCartney had offered £15.8m. The amounts were decided by a judge from the high court's family division after the pair failed to reach agreement during a week in court last month. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 How do they come up with a figure like that. So weird. I guess they say something like 1% of his net worth per year of marriage or something. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeh, I can't understand how they can pay out that much money, only 4 years of marriage, sure they have a kid, but the kid is probably being looked after anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I would be surprised if this divorce settlement is inclusive of child support - I would imagine that would be a separate thing. It is a ridiculous amount of money isn't it? Will he miss that much, probably not...will she notice the difference between his offer and what she got ...probably not. Fair enough - enjoy a luxurious and comfortable lifestyle, but with that kind of money you could seriously make a difference in the world, I wonder if any of her settlement will be spent on anything except herself!

big-will 7 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 35000 pounds a month for Beetroot or whatever the daughter is called. As lovely Heather said, "on that number Beetroot will have to travel B class while her dad travels A class". So hard done by. What a trollop. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 On 35000 pounds a month I could live a life of lesuire flying aorund the world first class - why on earth doesn't thier dollar/pound stretch that far? That is decent income for the everyday person for a year - she is talking a MONTH for a child! Come on!! Even with designer clothes, and caviar for dinner she is not going to NEED that much!

oblivion 5 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 It's totally ridiculous isn't it. 35000 is way above the average income for a year. She has no shame. Link to post Share on other sites
