Present Life
Mills has homes in Robertsbridge (worth £3.2 million), Hove (worth £1.5 million), a ski-chalet in Millstätter See in the Austrian Alps (bought for £1.4 million), and an apartment in the grounds of the 400-year-old Schlosshotel Velden, in Austria (bought for £1.5 million), having recently sold her condominium in Manhattan, at 173 Perry Street in West Village, for $5 million (bought for $4.9 million), and her apartment on The Bishops Avenue, Hampstead, for £3.75 million (bought for £2.4 million).
On 4 June 2010, a claim for compensation alleging sexual and maternity discrimination and unfair dismissal was brought by one Sara Trumble, who had been employed as a nanny for Mills' daughter since April 2004. The case was dismissed at Ashford Employment Tribunal Centre, Kent, with the tribunal concluding that all of Trumble's claims were unfounded. Employment judge Steven Vowles said that "Mills's kindness towards Miss Trumble showed that she genuinely cared about her as both an employee and a friend".

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or life:
“If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green.... If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don’t deserve to survive, and probably won’t.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
