Breast Cancer Patient Allegedly Fired TWICE While Seeking…
Judy A. Smith: Ask Judy: 'I Didn't Go To School For This'
Some are applauding Elin's bold move, saying that Tiger deserves whatever he gets after proving himself to be a cheater. Some are saying that she's greedy, since she hasn't swung a golf club in any of the professional tournaments in which Tiger earned his wealth. To break down the dollar amounts that Elin is requesting, look at it this way: To get $750 million for six years of marriage, she would earn $125 million per year, more than any athlete in the world. That would also be $2.4 million per week, $342,456 per day and $14,269 per hour.
Does someone deserve that much money for dealing with a bad relationship? What about the rest of us who've gone through heartbreaks of our own? Would you put up with Tiger's cheating for that kind of money?
In this episode of 'Financial Lovemaking,' S. Tia Brown and I discuss Tiger and his complex divorce. This situation looks like it's going to get worse before it gets better. Tiger may be playing for the next 10 years just to pay off his marriage debt.

She should get whats in the prenup plus a little bonus. Push come to shove half, period. The reason he is in this fix is because he is a tight ASS HOLE. If he would have given those chicks a little cash for every encounter, they wouldnt have spill the beans...A Former PLAYER

edujustice2010: Whell, Tiger Wood stated that he wasn't BLACK, so let his wife take him to the WOODS! He his a dumb a$$hole so he would not know what to do with it, and the statements he made, she should get it, and all those white women married to all those Black Men with/making millions, they should get their because they should marry within their race.White man has said that's what the civil rights was all about, Black Men to go with White women.

I don't think she deserve 750 million she should get what's in the prenup and tiger should've never told his so-called friends about his affairs and maybe he wouldn't be in the situation he's in today. and I believe a black women would've hit him up for that much maybe half or they would've taken what's in prenup. These black atheletes need to wake up I mean you can't trust anyone when you are a celebrity they always go for the other race.

I could be wrong but other black athletics such as Dwayne Wade, Shag, Michael Jordan and others that married black women are in the same boat as Tiger when it comes to demands for money in divorce. Same goes for Brittney Spears, Paul McCartney and Larry King. It is not about race it is about money. Whoever the spouse is, male or female, black or white, when the love is gone it is entirely about money and how much can they get. Not how much is fair or entitled. Greed is the key word here.

How did race get involved? How do you know she is not a major reason for his success. If theres a prenup, stick with it.It takes a damn good woman to back you in order to become successful. That is, if you are going to have one along your journey. If you're gay, I suspect you need it from the same sex. Either way I believe you need it from your companion, wife, or whomever.

No, way does she deserve that amount of money, her oral service is very over-rated and at best meiocre. She beat Tiger with the golf club on the night in question and now wants to get paid! How dare the Jezzebel! Tiger was an idiot on many counts. The fooling around, lying to the police about her actions on the night of the accident and the biggest of them all believing he could turn a groupie (substituting for the proper term in the origional phrase)into a house-wife. Yet, should he concede to her demands for this amount of money he will be a complete and utter a**.
Tiger met her in the same fashion he met his other mistresses. At one point in his life she was just another groupie looking to cash in on the golden goose who is golf. HIs youth and inexperience trapped him into marriage because lets face it a woman such as herself attends most fubctions with pick and gold miner's hard-hat in hand seeking to wrestle a wealthy man to bed to lay claim to his fortune. His stature money and status of power in the world made him attractive to all women who crap behind their feet.
I believe that his late father shielded him from a great deal of the negative side of this life, preserving his money and image. Tiger is suffering on many fronts trying to resurect his image and financial empire and this move is designed to cripple him for life. If he has that much money then it is my intention to place a wig on my head, put on war paint complete with ruby red lipstick, a pair of assless chaps and contact every news room, proclaiming that Tiger serviced me on the Nineth (19th) hole. I believe that he will give me and my ugly self at least a million to shut he heck up. LMAO
