Report: Mills 'burning through' divorce cash

Heather Mills has spent nearly half of her huge divorce settlement in just seven months, reports say.

The former model admitted last month that she had spent most of the £24 million settlement, claiming a lot of it had gone to charity and that she was keeping some for "projects and causes that will make this world a better place".

However, The Sun claims she has spent most of the cash, which she was awarded after her six-year marriage to Sir Paul McCartney, on plush properties, holidays and staff wages.

Mills has reportedly spent £1 million on renovations to her estate in East Sussex, purchased a flat in New York for £2.5 million, and invested nearly £6 million in other homes.

A further $1 million (£612,000) of vegetarian food was donated to homeless children in the Bronx.

"Heather's been moaning her money isn’t going as far as she thought, but she’s just burning her way through it.

“She reckons she has spent £10 million since the divorce and still doesn't have a finished house to live in. She hasn’t changed. In her eyes the whole world is against her," a source said.
