According to the judge who decided the nearly $50 million settlement in Paul McCartney’s divorce from Heather Mills, the ex-Beatle, shown here leaving court today, is worth about $800 million. Presumably that amount includes some of his real estate holdings, which includes a family compound in Amagansett where Sir Paul has been vacationing every August for years.
No wonder McCartney has many friends on the East End. He's known to frequent rocker John Bon Jovi's house in the Georgica area of East Hampton. For Labor Day last year, McCartney and Bon Jovi performed in an impromptu jam with Sagaponack resident Billy Joel, Sag Harbor resident Roger Waters and North Haven resident Jimmy Buffett.
Last summer, Mills reportedly rented a nearby home on Georgica Pond in East Hampton so that she could be close to daughter Beatrice while the child spent time with her father. That home is owned by writers Nora Ephron and Nick Pileggi, and just a stone’s throw from property owned by fimlmaker Steven Spielberg.
