It's kind of funny that people think Tiger shouldn't have 500+ million dollars. People wouldn't pay him 100 mill a year if he wasn't creating a profit.

Unlike other sports, the exact terms of his win totals is known; it's $93,570,958.00.

The rest of that comes from endorsements, which are obviously profitable to whoever is giving him that money in the first place.

yeah, it's funny how many become socialists when discussing athletes' salaries...

 

[Wes]

What did she do to deserve this money?

Stay faithful?

I mean, even considering just what Nike gives him to play Nike Drivers and irons must be staggering for sales. The Golf equipment market is dominated by Golf Guy who has to have everything his favorite pro has. A new set of pro caliber irons is ~900 bucks and they release new ones every 9-10 months.

Stay faithful?

Purely speculating, but I still have a suspicion they had an open-type marriage and that the final straw in this was that Tiger might have been really flaunting what he was doing with all the girls calling him at home, etc.

I wouldn't doubt at all that both of them were kind of doing whatever they wanted if you get my drift.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

 

[dankir]

LOL..... so that equals 750 mill?? Bull fucking shit. Didn't Tiger get this broad to sign a pre-up or something??

Is this confirmed or is there still some doubt that she's getting everything basically?

edit: k she's getting 100 Million... whatever he'll make that back in a year.

yeah, and he put in fidelity clauses...

It's not a very new argument, that of the money athletes (or celebrities) make...

So what if those companies make profits? Nike profits off third world sweatshops.

 

[levious]

you saying those child laborers don't deserve their money either?

 

[Cindres]

It sucks and i'm always in the crowd for believing men are getting fucked over. But in this case, when there was cheating, and with many women, i do think she deserves something. Though definitely not 3/4 of a billion fucking dollars.

And that's relevant how?

We're talking about Tiger Woods total value and why he has 700 million dollars; getting into a moral argument about Company X's profit source is pretty far afield.

 

[Cubsfan23]

I love it when people get disgusted over sports salaries and say absolutely nothing when an actor gets 20 million plus for a movie

Many people were arguing that he shouldn't have the money for moral reasons, while some just couldn't understand the economics of how he got it.

Two discussions on the same topic.

 

[X26]

People keep saying she doesn't deserve X dollars and so on, but fail to remember that tiger had kids with her and she'll be taking care of them. $750m is ridiculous (and apparently false), but that money is going to his kids as much as anything

she's not gonna spend 100 million on them in their entire lifetime :lol

 

[RiskyChris]

No, but she'll be able to enable the same lavish lifestyle those children had when they were married.

 

[Cubsfan23]

you mean she'll be able to hold the same lifestyle for herself

 

[hulkamania-owns-you]

man i was her i would definately get a huge piece of property with a castle and secret passages and the whole nine yards. my own land where there are miles around and my guards can lookout from sniper towers.

i would also have young garden boys and staff all wearing tiny stock outfits to promote their figures. there would be protocol like at princes house and at any given time they would all know it would be their duty at any given time to come munch me out in my sexy room with special lights and wall to wall cleanable, bleacable surfaces. but then you would become a detached wierdo like those gay dudes in san francisco

 

[RiskyChris]

Not mutually exclusive.

 

[dvdjamm]

When the divorce becomes final,do you think Tiger will start back fucking sketchy porn stars and just butt ugly women again? Probably,but...


He gonna wish he was riding Elin again...You don't miss what you got until it's gone

 

[Cubsfan23]

Not mutually exclusive.

sure it is

 

[YoungHav]

Stay faithful?

:lol and you know this how? It could've been an open marriage.

 

[Dude Abides]

:lol and you know this how? It could've been an open marriage.

Good point. Maybe they were having massive orgies and all these "mistresses" came and Elin participated and the whole thing is an elaborate ruse by Elin to get money!

 

[zon]

I never really agreed with other posters when they said how misogynistic GAF was, but I'm really seeing what they mean in this thread. It's shameful how some of you act like Tiger is the innocent one.

White knight spotted. Get 'im bois.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Pathetic, but then again it's his fault for not signing a prenup

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

lol @ people defending Tiger. Even going as far as to just assume that Elin was also sleeping around and cheating :lol

A. he is the one who cheated.
B. she's keeping the kids.
C. he's still one rich motherfucker.

It's not about defending Tiger as much as pointing out men get the short end of the stick with respect to divorce, especially if they're successful. Elin contributed nothing towards Woods' success; obviously she should get enough money to take care of herself/kids/similar lifestyle but $750 million is ridiculous.

But like I said, it's also Tiger's fault. I'm willing to bet his handlers advised him to sign a prenup before getting married.

 

[Talamius]

Don't ever get married without a prenup, kids.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Don't ever get married without a prenup, kids.

Tiger did. But they don't seem to hold up when you have more money than god.

Anyway, I'm certain she's not getting that kind of money. From what I've heard they're not even debating money, more where the kids will live and visitation rights.

If they are successful before marriage then it can all be handled with a prenup.

If they become successful during marriage then it's a non issue, the spouse should get half.

If you do terrible things like repeatedly cheating on your wife who has given you two children and whatever else he did requiring a fuck ton of hush hush money like Tiger, then who gives a shit, you deserve no sympathy.
