Radaronline is reporting that Tiger Woods' divorce is about to be signed and finalized. The most shocking part of the report is that there are claims that Woods' wife is set to get $750 million out of the settlement. There is no clear indication of who might get the kids or whether there is a confidentiality agreement, but the possibility that Elin Nordegren may walk away with $750 million is incredibly shocking.
"When they first started negotiating the divorce, it was very acrimonious," the source told RadarOnline.com. "Elin had a lawyer in California who was very, very aggressive."

Here are some quick thoughts about the Woods divorce:
1) Do prenuptial agreements not work anymore? Didn't Tiger's wife sign a prenup, and would it have been a crime for her to walk away with a clean $40 million for five years of "hard work?"
2) How can Tiger afford that much money? Isn't he only worth $600 million? Is he going to make layaway payments or something? Is this fair?
3) Could this be a case of serious blackmail? What could she have on Tiger to get him to give away that much money just to end a relationship?
4) Are there any incentives to get married for any celebrity or athlete? The idea that 30-plus years of hard work can be destroyed by a bad relationship brings a pain to the heart or wallet of any man or woman who has worked hard to earn their money. I don't care how much love, affection, heartache or child-rearing Elin did for Tiger during the course of this relationship; it's hard to imagine all that being worth three-quarters of a billion dollars.
Moral of the story? Why work hard when you can simply marry the right person? If these reports are even remotely true, Elin will have out-earned the greatest golfer in the history of the world without ever having picked up a golf club.

That amount can't be right, hell in Cali you only get half of what was made during the time you were married, not what he had before. And yes he screwed up, but this is crazy, she should get the 40 mil and child support and thats it. You don't pay for the rest of your life for a dumb screw up. HE didn't kill anyone we know about.

First, the figure is not real thats just a conversation figure for all u guys to express your self on this site. It dose not matter about the money or that she white. wrong is wrong, Black or White. biblically and morally wrong. These children that they have created is going to feel this for the rest of their lives. Millions can never help the pain, hurt and humiliation(s) these children will feel and the cruelty that their Parents have bestowed on them. It's going to follow them for the rest of their lives. I pray that they will grow up to be healthy minded children because they will constanly have to deal with people like you all. He that is without sin let him cast the first stone! Think about it. It's not about Tiger, Elin or money. Its what they have created-Children.

Does this woman deserve almost a billion dollars? No, not by any
stretch of the imagination!!!! But Tiger brought this upon himself.
Why do black men and women that have reached a certain modicum of
success seem to always chase after the forbidden (WHITE) fruit? And
why do go after the fruit that the tree dosen't want? This woman had
nothing to offer a billionaire. To the best of my understanding a
nanny is somebody who is paid to take care of one or more children in
a family home, often also living there. They are also have a college
degree in that area. I still haven't found out what type of degree
that would be. At best the tree only wanted her for that purpose and
never intended to marry her. She fell into money and should just fall
right back out and not get credit for doing what every female species
is designed to do. And don't tell me what about love. How often do
you fall in love with the hired help? Learn to leave the fruit from
that tree on the ground, it's there for a reason. Pick the fruit
that is still on the tree if you must take from that tree!!!! The
fruit the tree still wants!!!! Not its rejects!!!! We are a people
of industry and intellect let us enjoy our own fruit!!!! Let us use
our faculty of making discerning judgments in aesthetic matters
better. We do not need them to feel better about ourselves!!!! Do
we?
