Heather Mills has been awarded $48.6 million in her divorce from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, the Associated Press reports.

According to a document released by London's Family Court, the judge awarded Mills, 40, a lump sum of $33 million, in addition to $15.6 million in assets she currently holds.

The couple's daughter Beatrice, 4, should receive a "periodical payments order" of $70,000 per annum, the court also ruled. McCartney agreed to pay for her nanny and school fees.

Mills told reporters she is "so, so happy" with the settlement.

They married in 2002 and split four years later.

According to initial reports, Mills was seeking up to $100 million of the former Beatle's estate, which is estimated at as high as $1.6 billion.
