George Harrison has sued his longtime business manager for $25 million, accusing him of living the high life at the ex-Beatles' expense.
The lawsuit filed Friday says Denis O'Brien "enriched himself and lived on a lavish scale at Harrison's expense, buying yachts and villas in various parts of the world, while Harrison suffered enormous losses."The suit says O'Brien subjected Harrison to "massive economic risks and losses" during their 20-year partnership.
"They most certainly were friends," said Bertram Fields, Harrison's lawyer. "But most entertainers rely totally on their managers. They don't check up on them. They simply trust them, and that was the case here."
