I reckon Sir Paul has not suffered unduly since the expensive divorce settlement with Heather Mills.

Surprising that Flatley still makes as much as he does

I am heartened to know that Sir Paul donates his time and money to many charities and causes, a couple of which I actively support as well!

I don't really hear or read about him making a big deal out of his contribution to humanity and society, other than his music, but here's more info on Paul McCartney's giving:
