Heather Mills brands rich people "stingy and snobby

Heather Mills, the estranged wife of former 'Beatle' Sir Paul McCartney has branded all rich people "stingy and snobby".

In yet another attack against her former husband Paul McCartney, who's worth an estimated $1.5 billion, Heather, 39, slammed the world's wealthiest people when she gave a 90-minute speech to a debating society in Ireland yesterday.

Heather said: "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. Because people are very snobby.

"These people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy - because why would you want that amount of money?"

Heather, who has been dubbed Mucca by British tabloids due to her porn past - and is said to demanding between $100 million - $150million from Paul in their divorce settlement, also compared herself to human rights crusaders who have been victimized for their beliefs.

She said: "If you look at every single person in the history of the world who has tried to make a difference, you'll find a very long section of their lives where they were treated horrifically by the government or by the media."
