[HMG] – Heather MillsIn a heartwarming followup to our earlier story on the financial hardship now blighting the life of Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Heather Mills, it seems the situation is even more dire than we originally reported.

Speaking to the reputable British newspaper, the Daily Express, Ms. Mills now whines that most of the $47.5-million she received in her bitter divorce from Sir Paul has already been spent — in just 22 months.

The ill-matched couple married in 2002 but became legally separated in 2006. A caustic [and often deliberately public] divorce battle followed, which reached its conclusion in 2008 when their train-wreck of a marriage was finally dissolved.

The court ordered Sir Paul to pay Mills $47.5-million, plus an annual payment of $56,000 to help raise their 6-year old daughter, Beatrice.

But Ms. Mills, 42, now admits most of that haul has already gone.

“Most of it’s been given to charity, gone into businesses or paid for a couple of ­properties for my daughter’s future,”she told the reporters. “I could never sit with millions of pounds in the bank that could make matters change.”

Many of the charities never received all their money, all the businesses stalled and she got two free homes worth over $12-million in the divorce. So maybe Heather should rework the math? Or at least try a better excuse…
