About Paul McCartney

Oh, nobody knows better than Paul McCartney that the long and winding road of love can occasionally lead to a bank crushing settlement. Yup, when you're one-quarter of the best-selling band in history, you better believe that fortune trumps love. Finding someone who won't say "can't buy me love" and mean it must be a real tickets to ride for such a hot musical commodity.

But let's journey back to 2008, when Sir Paul's second marriage to activist Heather Mills cut right to the 'Hard Day’s Night' category. As most fans and financial advisors might remember (those latter were in tears) – McCartney lost a whopping $48,000,000 in the settlement. He may not have won this particular “battle of the bands,'' and I say band because it’s exactly what they used to tote the King-size pot of money away. Buying a yellow submarine probably would have set him back less than that divorce settlement. Quite a steep price to pay for saying 'Hello, goodbye' a little sooner than planned.

All jokes aside though and regardless of status and wealth, romance in the public eye undeniably adds an extra layer of complexity one might be forgive for calling 'Penny Lane'. Evidently costing you quite few pennies more. This goes to show that even legends are humans after all, their lives by moments, swapping bizarre strings of events from paperback writer to shattered beetle. So dear friends tune your optimism, as now undaunted, Sir Paul keeps singing, resonating adages in the wavelengths of universal language that is music. We can all relate, can't we? As wise man once belted out, love, love me do. Yeah mate, feels alright until you receive the bill. Peace and love because you'll never know where the magical mystery tour will take you next.
