LONDON - Heather Mills is hoping to make a profit of 1.4 million pounds by selling a luxury flat she bought just 10 months ago.

The ex-wife of former ‘Beatle’ Sir Paul McCartney bought the swish three-bedroom London apartment for 2.35 million pounds.

The 41-year-old English campaigner was seldom there, and the flat in an exclusive area of north London remained empty.

She now reckons that the property can sell for 3.75 million pounds.

Heather is said to be planning to use the cash to expand her vegan food company into the US.

“Heather realises she has more homes than a person could ever need, so selling the flat makes sense. And if she can make a 50 per cent profit why shouldn’t she?” the News of the World quoted one of her friends as saying.

This week Heather put the apartment up for sale.

She is selling it furnished, complete with a silver Buddha in the marble hall and king-sized bed in the main, gold-clad bedroom.

Ever since her divorce in February last year, Heather is said to have spent up to 15 million pounds on properties, holidays and staff wages.

However, despite the recession, she denies being hard-up.

Her friend said: “She has decided to speculate to accumulate.” (ANI)
