Material Girl: The Heather Mills Example

In my book, Booby Trapped: Men Beware the Dirty Seven Sisters, I warn men about the seven types of women who will make their lives a living hell in a relationship setting. "The Material Girls" comprise one of the seven categories, which I break down into three sub-categories:
--Gimmie Monie
--Pretty Penny
--Thingie Wingie.

They are all self-centered, self-entitled, and empty-souled, but today I want to address the most calculating of the three: Gimmie Monie. Gimmie Monie's motto comes from the Beatles' song whose title is her life obsession: "Money." "Gimme money, that's all I want."

Ironically, Heather Mills and her recent divorce settlement with the Beatle Paul McCartney, is a great example of this type. $50 million is not enough for her. She is squawking that she wants more. She dumps a glass of water on McCartney's lawyer's head because she feels she is entitled, simply through marriage and bearing a child, to exorbitant, unearned sums.

In Booby Trapped I cite examples of other women who have glommed onto men and expect millions because they have trapped a man into signing the marriage license. A recent case comes to mind in which a housewife divorced her corporate executive husband and demanded $48 million. She was rewarded this sum even though she cheated on her husband and left him. What was she going to do with that money? "Travel and find myself." He was the one slugging it out in the work-world to create this wealth and she was the one taking it away, unearned.

A man can spend the rest of his life paying for the mistake of falling into Gimmie Monie's clutches. Alimony laws allow for unfair distribution of wealth in many cases. I have talked to, or received letters from, many men who are straining under the alimony they are paying to gold-digger exes. Gimmie Monie and her eventual alimony reward will make the few hours of happiness with her in the past seem like a sick trick played by a mischievous universe.

Paul McCartney was booby trapped by Heather Mills. Do not underestimate the destructive and greedy qualities of women who will take advantage of the legal system and drain a man like an eternal parasite.
