It must have been a difficult moment for Sir Paul McCartney the morning
he picked up the papers to read that his estranged wife, Lady Heather
McCartney, was alleged to be an ex-hooker.  Difficult because with the
impending divorce more than half of his reported $1.5 billion hinged on
the truth of the story.

Across town Lady McCartney must have had a hard time digesting her eggs
too. The timing of the story couldn't have been worse -- actually, it
could have been; the story could have come out just before the marriage
four years earlier. Ok, the timing could have been worse, but that
surely was no constellation. Lady McCartney knew that if Sir Paul could
prove she was an ex-hooker more than $750,000,000 could be lost.

That's a lot of money. Enough, we think, to make Paul re-think his plan
of having a "nice" divorce. After all, they'd only been married four
years and although Lady McCartney had by all accounts been a good wife
and mother, $187,000,000 a year for services rendered did seem a bit
steep.

But the sources were solid. Arms billionaire ADNAN KHASHOGGI's once
private secretary  ABDUL KHOURY was not someone to be dismissed and his
story was that Lady McCartney was not only on Khashoffi's payroll as a
whore, but was at the time (early 90's)  "well-known" in London's call
girl industry.

Lady McCartney promptly filed suit, but was this a legal tactic to
protect the $750,000,000?

Finally, what was Paul thinking when he refused Heather's offer of a
prenuptial four years earlier?

Fool and his money...?
