Jagger spends £8m on property

Mick Jagger has splashed out on two luxury properties worth £8 million in total, after his ex-wife became uncomfortable with their close living arrangements.

The Rolling Stones frontman was married to model Jerry Hall for 22 years, but their marriage was annulled in 1999. However, while the 6 foot blonde kept the couple's London home, Jagger moved into an apartment just next door.

However, as the rocker's current relationship with model L'Wren Scott has become more serious, Hall felt the arrangement was no longer appropriate.

As a solution Jagger has reportedly spent £6 million on a house in London to share with his girlfriend, and paid £2 million for a Caribbean retreat for ex-wife Jerry Hall.

A friend explained the move to the Daily Mail: "Mick's personal life is, as ever, a juggling act. He is trying to please everyone. He wants to be as accommodating as possible with Jerry. But L'Wren and Mick have been together for four years now and are about as close to being a married couple as Mick is willing to get."
