Oasis legend Noel Gallagher and his ex-wife Sara MacDonald have finalized their divorce and Sara is set for a huge payout.
Insiders believe 52-year-old music publicist Sara could score £20million and her £8million Hampshire mansion.
A source told The Sun: “Sara stayed in the house after they split and Noel moved out. “She is expected to stay there.
“They have deliberately done things quietly and behind closed doors, avoiding any kind of public dispute, and they have the resources to do this.”
“In the end, they really only communicated through lawyers.”

Bitter battle: The estranged couple, who have sons Donovan (15) and Sonny (12), are said to have only communicated through lawyers in the final stages of their divorce
They added that agreeing a deal would have been a “huge relief” for both and that both sides seemed “satisfied enough.”
Tensions between the estranged couple were believed to be so strained that they only communicated through lawyers in the final stages of their divorce.
After the deal, which was hammered out last month, was agreed, both flew abroad to celebrate. Noel landed in Vegas and Sara joined friends in Ibiza.
Web has contacted Noel’s representatives for comment.
Since the split, Noel has been living in luxury at Claridge’s in Mayfair, London, while he waits for his new flat in Maida Vale to be renovated.
The rocker, who now fronts band High Flying Birds, opened up about how writing his latest album helped him “cope” with the breakup.
He said: “Divorce is a long, drawn out process, so it certainly influences the mood of the album.”
“As an artist you write about what you know, and I can’t say much about life in general because I don’t really care about most of the things I see in the news.”

“So when things happen in your life that you can articulate, I tend to jump into it, and that makes for better art.”
This comes after Noel recently opened up about his split from Sara in January after 12 years of marriage.
He revealed that the couple had “got tired of each other”, which he said was not unusual for couples in their 50s.
Sara is Noel’s second wife, whom he met at the Space nightclub in Ibiza in 2000, a year before his divorce from his first wife Meg Matthews, 57 – the mother of his eldest child, Anaïs, 23.
The former couple were notorious for their partying lifestyle at the height of Brit Pop in the mid-90s, enjoying rowdy nights with north London’s notorious Primrose Hill set, including supermodel Kate Moss and actress Sadie Frost.
But following their split, it was reported that Noel was having an affair with Sara – a claim they both denied.
Noel and Sara married at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest in 2011 in a £60,000 ceremony attended by Russell Brand – but younger brother and former bandmate Liam said he wasn’t invited.
They share sons Donovan (15) and Sonny (12).
