Heather Mills has demanded four of Sir Paul McCartney's homes as part of their divorce settlement, according to a report today.

The former model has told her lawyers that she wants to fight for properties in London, Sussex, Los Angeles and New York. A secret 'shopping list' drawn up by Mills also reveals that she expects a lump sum of £50 million as well as an annual allowance, because she believes that her marriage to Paul destroyed her career.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: "Throughout the marriage Heather told her friends and people she worked with that nothing good has come out of marrying Paul. She says before she met him she used to earn loads of money but being with him destroyed her earning potential."

Another insider added: "Heather is living in dream land. She hardly earned millions before they got together. If anything, her profile and therefore earning potential escalated after she met Paul. Paul has spent years building up his property portfolio and he's not going to be giving up any homes he owns without a fight."
