DUBLIN, Ireland - Heather Mills, who is seeking tens of millions to split from her Beatles legend husband, has denounced the world's rich as insufferable misers and snobs.
Mills delivered a 1 1/2-hour speech to the debating society of Trinity College Dublin, her latest venue to ventmyriad opinions since firing her law firm and press officer, who had advised her to keep quiet while divorce settlement terms were being negotiated.
Mills McCartney said she was reluctantly obliged to befriend the world's wealthy - despite their nasty qualities - because that was the only way to maximize her power as an agent for change.
"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she said.
"Because people are very snobby - these people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy."
