They mentioned his approximate worth during his divorce but I can't count that high. lol

McCartney made a good portion of his fortune from buying up music copyrights, most nostably Buddy Holly's catalogue. Of course this can backfire as he gave similar advice to Michael Jackson.

As for Yoko, she (unfortunately) controls the Lennon estate. Which is why it seems every 5 years his catalogue gets re-released in "re-mastered" editions. And from a google search it seems that for some reason, John didn't leave Julian anything in his will.

Well that was dickish.

Interestingly, the Daily Mail (as Capo said, not exactly a reliable news source) claim that ole Heather cost Macca 24 million Pounds. Or to 2010 currency exchange, that's nearly $37 million.

That's Amy Irving levels of fleecing.
