people think he didn't have a prenup? He did, but I don't think it protected him fully in the case of infidelity. Plus, divorce law/courts didn't really come into play with this.

IIRC, don't some States have restrictions on pre-nups that take this kind of thing into consideration? Meaning, if the pre-nup was so egregious as to be an unconscionable contract, or an illusory contract, it could be voidable? I know in NY the prenup law is very liberal, meaning; anything short of contractual prostitution is valid, but im' not sure how different some place like Florida might be.

Im' not sure, but in any event, the amount of money here clearly shows a calculation on Tiger's part that HIS future earning potential justifies ensuring that Elin never says a goddamn word.... especially about that underage drifter she saw Tiger strangle a few years ago....

 

[bionic77]

If secrecy about his failings is so important to Tiger wouldn't the amount of the settlement be kept just as secret? When they do settle there is a good chance we may never know the details as part of the agreement.

 

[levious]

don't really know blob, but I just remember reading that his prenup included infidelity clauses which ended up taking away whatever leverage he had.

I dont' think they're really calculating future earnings. That they're having trouble determining his actual worth might also be the real story.

 

[overthehill99]

Wow that's how much Bobby Kotick spent on the E3 party.

 

[BertramCooper]

Even if there is a pre-nup, I can't imagine it stipulates that Elin must keep quiet about Tiger banging porn stars and Perkins waitresses. The terms would not have prevented Elin from doing a tell-all.

This is hush money.

 

[Stinkles]

He accidentally the hole thing.

I'm guessing the $750M includes a lot of assets as well.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

I wish I was the judge so I could laugh this shut out of court. You get 10 million, tops

After the shit Tiger pulled. He does deserve to pay.

 

[cubicle47b]

750 million, that's like 1 whole Activision E3 party!

Haha, awesome.

 

[Marvie_3]

Man, Tiger just can't give up getting fucked.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Man, Tiger just can't give up getting fucked.

Heyooo!

 

[Munch]

Exactly. He's the one agreeing to the deal even though I doubt it's that much money. He's not giving her the money out of the goodness of his heart. Elin must have some career ending dirt on Tiger that he wants to keep secret.

Tiger also put her and the lives of their children at risk when he decided to go out and have unprotected sex with women he knew nothing about. IMO she deserves every penny.

Fuck yes. Man, He continued having sex with his wife while he was running around having unprotected sex with everyone out there. And I'm sure he was doing it before his first child was born, so he did put his children at risk of getting disease.

I'm laughing at all the people who thinks she doesn't deserve this money. Keep your dick out of other women who don't carry the label of "your wife" and you won't have to pay $750 million. It's really not that fucking hard.

Tiger is a douche and I really hope he fucks up again so we can be done with him.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

TEAM ELIN

fucking awesome man :lol

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I remember hearing from one of the mistresses that Tiger was a bit childish. He would eat Fruit Loops in the morning and watch cartoons. :lol :lol

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I wonder if he feels those trailer trash hoe's were worth it.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

An absurd spectacle and a mockery of ' justice'.

 

[X26]

Ouch, that's insane

I wish I was the judge so I could laugh this shut out of court. You get 10 million, tops

But you aren't a judge, and not in any position of power thankfully. Stick to flipping burgers

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Nah, this is legalized robbery if it's blackmail or something then it's just as bad. But please, continue your civil vigilantism, don't let me in your way

Classy.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Please point me to the bank giving me 3.25% a month. I think you mean a year.

Still a lot of money, but it's a big difference.

Oops. my bad.

 

[CrankyJay]

Elin ended up with double the sum she originally sought, after her lawyers proved Tiger, 34, was worth much more than the $1 billion she thought.

Her friend explained: "Elin's legal team have done a great job digging up all sorts of assets.

.

Yeah, well they didn't do that for her, they did that for a bigger commission. :lol

 

[AstroLad]

judge is an idiot. probably the same guy that gave the mcdonalds coffee lady 1 billion dollars. maybe i should sue espn for emotional disturbance from all those damn world cup horns and be set for life :lol

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Fucking ridiculous and completely fucking unjustifiable.

If this doesn't fucking scream that we need divorce reform, I don't know what does.


No way in hell should anyone get half of someone's worth just because they married the dude.

You can keep your $500 guitar.

 

[Darkman M]

750 million just in hush money? no way.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Pre-nups also usually have some clauses within that nullifies the agreement in the event of adultery, do they not?

 

[Dude Abides]

I wish I was the judge so I could laugh this shut out of court. You get 10 million, tops

Yeah it sucks when people agree to settle their differences. Lengthy and expensive litigation is better for everyone.

 

[Kintaro]

And from this point on, all prenups from major superstars include "hush" clauses. Lesson to major stars: Do not get married. Not worth it. There is simply too much pussy/cock throwing themselves at you at all times to resist. You're only human. An animal with a desire to fuck. That desire will end up winning in that sort of lifestyle. Save yourself the trouble and lost millions.

 

[Veidt]

At this point, I honestly don't see the difference between marriage and prostitution. You marry a person because you like who they are. Not to take from them, what they have, if they don't do what you have agreed to.

Taking someone's belongings for something as frivolous as this, is completely indefensible.

 

[Darkman M]

Those saying he has a prenup post a link or something. No way he's paying 750 million just so she doesn't shit on him and his grave.

But then how will you market yourself as a wholesome family man and get that AIG sponsorship?

 

[Fantasmo]

Yeah no. I can personally attest to how much cheating, lies, and betrayal can destroy you. But $750Mill is a joke.

Fine, you're hurting blabla. Get some cash, millions whatever, get over it and start fresh. $750 mill looks like an opportunistic golddigger. It must be so easy to just get bored, become a pain in the ass enough to make someone with no backbone want to cheat. It'd be funny to see somebody take her for half after this.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

this is one of those rare cases where I think that the wife is entitled to half the guy made. Man he really really fucked her over.

 

[Beer Monkey]

no details, but a reference to it

prenup also I think had infidelity clauses, not all have to, but this one did, which is why he's being screwed...

Does it really matter? Tiger won't be financially strapped by any means after this. He won't be on the 18th green with hat in hand begging for money.

He fucked up, and 750 million is little price to pay to have your ex-wife keep her mouth shut in order to make another 750+ million. It was a sound business decision.

 

[Kintaro]

Pfft. You think that AIG deal with worth it now? Nope!

 

[Count Dookkake]

Elin is Queen of the pimps.

Make that bitch work for you!

 

[AstroLad]

What judge?

Exactly. Also whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? People are saying that he put his family "in danger" -- but that's bullshit unless she can prove she was ACTUALLY HARMED. Subway puts me "in danger" every day, doesn't mean the city should pay me $100m.

So the prenup was only worth a max of 20 million? Surprised she would go for so cheap considering the amount he's worth. With that said looking at the prenup i can't see him paying 750 million just to keep her quiet. He's falling off in golf his rep is already destroyed i can't see him making that much back.


edit: up to 75 million i see.

 

[charsace]

Legal extortion. She shouldn't be getting that much. Trophy wife/husband is the best thing anyone can be.

I don't know where they were married, or which state would govern it, but assuming that the prenup was more or less voided by the adultery, then it's possible that he would have been facing a 50/50 split of marital assets since florida is (again, I believe, but not sure) is a community property state.

 

[Fantasmo]

That's my point. Except you were thinking Tiger when you said it. I'm thinking it was Elin's, and not while Tiger was cheating, way way before that. Look at the guy. It isn't hard to take advantage of someone who isn't hard to be taken advantage of. Awful.

Exactly. White Knight GAF are a bunch of assholes. "oh poor Elin, she married a celebrity and expected fidelity!! Fuck Tiger I hope he burns in hell". Boo-fucking-hoo. Seriously they can go stfu b/c I'm 100% certain the morons that say Elin deserves all this $$$, would have fucked up in their marriage if they were in Tiger's shoes. But yeah, everyone is chaste and would NEEEVER cheat. NEVER!!

:lol Moral police and white knight Gaf, everytime you check out a woman who's not you're girlfriend or wife put $5 in a jar and burn that jar after the end of a year.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Elin better get security.

 

[SimleuqiR]

Yup.
Why get married when you can have it all (if you are famous actor, or a great athlete) well into your 40s, hell even 50s?

White knight dirty cheaters more.

 

[Bad_Boy]

He should just pay some one a million to take her out. :lol

 

[esquire]

What goes around, comes around.

Tiger got told. There's no guarantee any of his mistresses won't want more money from him for staying quiet or that they won't write "tell all" books of their own.

I never knew Tiger Woods was even worth that much! I love the judicial system.

 

[chuckddd]

Does anyone have Elin's phone number?

 

[Nameless]

So she's entitled to $750m because she married a rich guy who likes new pussy? This is some grade A bullshit. Even though I think getting half is fucked up regardless, I can atleast sorta understand in the case of Juanita Jordan. She'd been with MJ for decades, she raised his kids and provided countless amounts of support in countless ways. What did Elin do in the few years they've been together?

Courts should determine a fair amount based on the situation instead of automatically & lazily splitting shit down the middle. And fuck the embarrassment/keeping quiet angles. For that amount of money I'd dress up like Lady Gaga and sing Elton John songs while my wife filmed a 500 man bukkake DVD. I would even mop up afterwards and personally deliver copies to whoever ordered one. You kidding me?
