Elin Won't Get $750M!!

[SherriBerry]

Wow, I'm sorry - Tiger acted like a pig, but does that justify his ex-wife getting $750 Million dollars for 5 years of marriage? That is $150M per year and it isn't like he became famous after they were married - and he had a prenup. The main stipulation is that she can never speak a word about the marriage or Tiger for the rest of her life, even if he dies, or she loses it all, so I guess he is buying her silence. I don't think she would make that much if she knew the secret formula to Coca Cola. I think she deserves more than whatever was outlined in her prenup, but not 3/4 of a Billion dollars!!

I think that woman was humiliated to an extent the rest of us can only imagine. That said, this is an absurd settlement unless there's some crazy shit lurking in the background, like her getting multiple STDs from him or something.

I don't believe it. That first came out on Radarline and half of their stuff is always wrong. Her prenup was only in the millions and then I think they renegotiated when his cheating came out. I still say at the high end 100 million to keep her from ever discussing him publicly. He's not worth much more than 750 million and has lost a lot of lucrative deals.

[Marabelle]

I'm guessing she knows the secret formula to something. And whatever it is she knows; it pays incredibly well.

[mrsromek]

Tiger is a loser and an idiot. I don't care how many chicks he banged, or how good of a golfer he is. I don't care if he's got all that $ in the bank, either.

[Michigan Girl]

Absolutely ridiculous!!

I read it on the site for The Globe and Mail newspaper, which is a respected publication, not a rag. Hopefully the specifics really are inaccurate, but he didn't lose the money he had earned and invested when the story came out and he is already in position to regain his lucrative deals. Look at Kobe Bryant - after being charged with rape, paying civil damages, and making a statement in writing that he now understands why the woman "did not view the encounter the same way or feel she consented", all is forgiven and he makes something like $30Million dollars per year! As long as Tiger starts winning, all will be forgiven and he will be back on top - but not if his ex takes him down publicly.

I hope you are right about the amount - having to pay someone a ridiculous sum of money for their silence is usually referred to as blackmail!

If Tiger parts with $750 million he is one stupid motherfucker. I say no way he parts with anywhere near this kind of money. What could there possibly be to be silent about at this point in the game? It doesn't compute! The public humiliation has already taken place and for her to bring more of it on him would only be to inflict some on herself as well. I don't buy it. That has nothing to do with my views on what I think of Tiger as a person right now.

He'll pay it. The guy's golf game is a mess right now. He'll recoup that money in a few years anyway. That number is probably figuring in child support for the next decade also. It's not going to kill him to pay.

BTW, his shitty golf game now might just be a little old fashioned karma. More reason why he might not want to give his fortune away just yet. He may need it if everything around him falls apart, including his golf career.

I don't understand it either - in the first place, no matter what a lousy husband he was, how could her lawyers go after so much more than what was in the prenup? Somehow I don't think public opinion is considered in court. And secondly, what more damage could she do that is worth a $750M payoff? Even $100M? And when did that amount of money start looking like chump change?!

By the way, at 38 am I too late to start a professional golfing career?

lets do the math..

E gets 750... not... her lawyers will get a hefty pay check maybe 15% or so... plus taxes will have to come out... probably 30% or more... so maybe she ends up with 400.00 million... and maybe she only gets paid until the kids are gorwn up... and then some of that 750 million probably goes to their trust fund... but wow... none of us can even imagine that kind of money....

Sherry Berry- I think you're missing the point. Tiger is willing to pay that much for silence. There must be some pretty embarrassing stuff that Elin knows about that he wants kept a secret...voice mails, texts, fetishes, etc. I believe this settlement will buy her complete silence, and that she will be prohibited from saying a word or writing a book. Remember, divorce cost a lot of money, because it's worth it.

Gunbot- His golf game is almost there. He finished 5th at Pebble Beach. He is only a dumb decision or mistake away from winning again. I bet he contends this week in Philadelphia.

You all think this is a bad number to settle on. Good ol Rupert Murdoch, an Australian, paid out 1.75 Billion with a B, to his ex wife. Just think how much you must have to be able to pay that much out for a divorce settlement? Good God.

[Jana]

I have never believed that 750 million number. It's insane. Latest info off TMZ:


Sources connected with the golfer tell TMZ his divorce from Elin Nordegren is a done deal, except for the official filing with the court.

We're told Elin will not get near the reported $750 million in the settlement. As one source put it, "Tiger isn't even worth that much."

The source added, however, "She'll do a lot better than she would have under the prenup."

In May, 2009, Forbes estimated Tiger's worth at $600 million

I'm thinking his 'girlfriends' know a lot more about those details than Elin does - is he going to pay all of them for their complete silence too?

I was thinking the same thing - there is a pretty big group that knows the details. I'm wondering if any large settlement is based on making it all go away fast before a nasty divorce can start to turn public opinion again permanently.

Part of the story was that Elin's lawyers had dug deep and discovered he was worth more than anyone thought - that's possible. But if true, assets generate income and if Forbes didn't know about them, I wonder if the IRS did...

[Jana]

I told you not to believe that story, just a tabloid story. That figure was ridiculous. I SAID 100,000,000 AT THE MOST. I WAS RIGHT:


As one source with direct knowledge of the terms of the divorce tells TMZ, "She'll be getting close to $100,000,000."

There have been reports Elin would score $750 million, but we have confirmed that figure is wrong. Indeed, as we first reported, Tiger is not even worth $750 million. We're told his net worth is somewhere between $500 and $600 million.

The $100 million is way more than Elin would have received under the prenup.

Sources say Elin will receive child support, but we do not know the specific amount.

As for the $100 million figure ... this is not speculation ... it comes from sources with direct knowledge of the property settlement agreement.

To put this in some perspective, Elin will be getting 10 times what Rachel Uchitel scored from Tiger.

[SherriBerry]

$100M is a more sane amount, but TMZ is still quoting an unknown source. I think it will be closer to $100M too, because I just can't picture any guy parting with $750M without a fight. A nasty divorce could damage Tiger's attempts to rebuild his image, but I don't see it being worth 3/4 of a billion dollars - instead of parting with that kind of money, he would be better off moving to Switzerland and playing golf for the fun of it while hanging on to what he has in the bank.

Even $100M is 5 times what the prenup entitles her to after 10 years of marriage, not 5, so over $80M is quite a concession already! I know of one guy who actually took his soon to be ex-wife into court over support payments, because she got a 25cent/hour raise in a part-time job - it came to an extra $5/week.

forget the chicks...good GOD she may have shot Tiger UP with PED's for all we know...the chicks are yesterdays news...if she spews about PED's Tiger is fucking TOAST.
