Heather Mills has labelled all rich people "stingy and snobby".

In a veiled attack against her estranged multi-millionaire husband Sir Paul McCartney, the 39-year-old former model slammed the world's wealthiest people when she gave a 90-minute speech to Trinity College Dublin's debating society in Ireland yesterday (21.11.07).

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 is reportedly demanding between £50 million and £75 million from Paul in their divorce settlement, also compared herself to human rights crusaders who have been victimised 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."

The mother-of-one's latest rant comes just days after she urged the British public to drink rats' milk instead of cows' milk, and said everybody should become vegan.
