This is simply not true.

Rupert Murdoch's divorce was for over $1 billion.
Michael Jordan's divorce was for over $150 million.
Harrison Ford was for over $118 million.
Steven Spielberg was for over $100 million.
And that's just a partial list.

If you were worth a billion, how much would you pay to keep that sorta thing quiet? I personally hope she gets every penny she can from that douchebag.
If I were worth a billion I wouldn't give her 1 penny to keep quiet. I would put my own business out there, then she has no ammo going into the divorce.

My question is, what kind of woman is going to stoop to this level to get back at this DB? Have a little pride. She's going to get a large settlement regardless, why not be reasonable.

Good point.
I take it you have never been divorced yourself or been intimately close to a divorce proceedings. Nobody is ever reasonable (particularly the female of our species).
Never been married to be divorced, but know plenty of people who have and know of plenty that have had both reasonable and unreasonable divorces. Some people just want a clean break. Some want it all.

I can't remember the number exactly, but he admitted to her during sex rehab supposedly to having nailed like a 140 chicks during their marriage.

That has to be humiliating to her. I don't blame her one bit for trying to get everything she can.

During the course of their marriage he made something like $600+ million in endorsements. Alot of that was predicated on being the winner/ good wholesome family man. She was a part of fostering that perfect family image as well as popping 2 kids out for him, so let her clean up. If Tiger doesn't mess around he never has this problem.

He has massive earning years ahead, so while he gets hit now he will get it back in spades down the line.

She shouldn't get shit

She doesn't deserve a fucking dime

What has she done to deserve anything?

She didn't fuck someone who wasn't her husband. (that we know of)

That's an absolutely ludacris number... yeah, she was wronged, and what Tiger did is by no means excusable, but $750 million? I mean, how much do you need to get a new house and take care of the kids?

This classic clip from Eddie Murphy Raw seems appropriate right now:

I don't get the default sympathy for Elin. For starters, I absolutely do not buy that she didn't know about Tiger's affairs. Second, she most likely married him for his money so I think they are both getting what they deserve.

Third, pre-nups exist for a reason. No one should get $750M, not even $250M. I say you'll get $50M and you'll like it!

her family is pretty well known in sweden. she had at least the beginnings of a career as a model. she was educated. tiger asked to be introduced to her. not exactly the standard golddigging type. to say she married him for his money is a fairly baseless accuasation.

Women make bank in divorces. I dont understand why theyre entitled to shit honestly, in 9 out of 10 cases its not like they helped the athlete or movie star make any money.

he had sess with many women and she didn't know about it. if he's banging dudes, she would know nothing IMO.

If he's hiding something it's PED's. his performance paid her bills, so she had a vested interest in preserving that.

I think it has to do with PED's more than anything.

I agree with Mike Clark. You won't hear me say that often. Anyway, she is a typical whore. She should have let Tiger stick it in her ass and maybe he wouldn't have had to bang a thousand other women to get what he was missing at home. You know the only reason he married her was to defile her, and I would be pissed too if my supermodel wife wasn't giving it up.

LOL, I am not Mike Clark.
I know, I also agreed with your point.

He has about that much.

He's earned over a billion dollars I believe. Though I don't know how much of that would have been taxed or how much he's spent on hookers and cocaine.

He has earned over a billion, but he could very well have made some successful investments and business ventures that have also made him a boat load of money we don't know about.

I suspect he is worth well over a billion dollars and maybe close to 2 if he has been even a little smart with what he has earned the past 13 years.

I doubt he's anywhere near $2 billion.

My guess is anywhere from $700 million-$1.4 billion.

Yes, he is likely struggling to buy groceries.
