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:
“For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
