Reports are circulating that Sir Paul McCartney will give his estranged wife Heather Mills a $235 million (£120 million) divorce package to be done with her. London's The News of the World reports the former Beatle was urged to agree the deal by his daughters Stella and Mary because they are concerned the bitter divorce battle is affecting his health.
The siblings reportedly told their father, "If this goes on, it could kill you. Being happy is more important than money."
The newspaper claims McCartney will publicly give his estranged wife only $19.5 million, most of which she'll donate to charity, but that she'll actually get an enormous amount.
The report is that she will get $5.9 million a year as a divorce settlement, $15.7 million to buy homes in the US and Europe, $5.9 million for English accommodation and more than $3.9 million a year for staff and general expenses for the next 15 years.
One of McCartney's aides tells the newspaper, "It's a done deal and Paul is relieved."

I have loved the Beatles forever. I never have imagined that Paul would get married so soone after Linda's death -- to a one-legged golddigger!
