If I missed this, maybe someone else did.
Excerpt from:

"What does speculation over the McCartney separation say about the real
value of marriage?" by Ian Bell

"What is a marriage worth? Nothing to some, everything to others.
Only by fixing a price do people seem able to deal with all the
consequences of a failed relationship. That tawdry fact probably does
not speak well of our society, but precious few lives are perfect, as
the divorce rate tends to show.
The travails of the McCartneys are like a grotesquely enlarged image
of a host of human dramas. It is sad, no doubt, but it is also
ridiculous, like most divorces. Take away the money and you are left
with just another couple messing up. The only worrying difference is
that McCartney might write a new song about it all. Yesterday was a long
time ago, unfortunately." [1]

What if it was really only about the money to begin with? From the one
end only, I mean. It often is with these kinds of marriages.. Paul is
really going to be done-for when he finally figures it all out. Too
bad, too... he was a real nice guy. And that's probably one reason why
he was targeted. He'z not the predator type. But I think she is. She's
from that generation who grew up with that reptilian mentality. Just
like you.
