If only there existed a mechanism to cap divorce settlements. If only...

No, no, no. I refuse to believe that there was a rational reason for this. Clearly, she's robbing her hardworking ex-husband blind and spending money for no other reason than because she can, and she doesn't understand the value of the money as she didn't earn it herself.
I'd like this update stricken from the record so we can get back to the important topic of how unfair the system is as evidenced by ultra-rich sports stars paying out high divorce settlements.
Yeah, it was definitely silly for everyone to jump all over her without even knowing the reasons as to why she demolished the house.

Though it doesn't really change the point that a lot of people were making - which was that she did not deserve that huge payday simply for having been married to someone.
I'm not even going to get into what I think of that, it's a trap either way.
Look if I was married to Tiger and he cheated on me, I'd want the damn money
"Hey bitch, you cheated on me, gimme my millions. Also why did we get married in the first place, I'm not even gay. This doesn't make any sense."
Then we'd go get some beers.

What were the odds with some rich person doing it for show vs. not being up to hurricane code and having termites? It's not that outrageous.

How dare this gold-digger have some of the money Tiger earned by hitting a ball into a hole with a stick!
Why would anyone demolish a house for show?
It'd be weird for someone to call be misogynistic if they looked at my posting history. Was I a man-hater when I railed against K-Fed? I am just against people dipping their hands into the pockets of others for frivolous lawsuits, outrageous divorce settlements etc.
I don't know, did you look at other people's posting histories before throwing out the whiteknight label?
Marriage unites the pockets, this is well known. If you want to avoid that, you don't get married. It's a silly thing to argue about. It's not a trap as the risks are well known.

To build a different one? Obviously I didn't mean buying houses to bulldoze and do nothing.

This thread - 
So it's safe to assume this 100 million is pretty much all she's got, right? Because you have to figure, between the house-buying and the bulldozing she's already gone through at least 12-15% of it...figure another couple million for building the new digs...this chick is going to be broke by the end of 2012 if she keeps this up.
Real estate, if you ask me, seems to be the area where all the newly rich really hang themselves by getting in over their heads.

Yep. Tiger hired a wife, she got her salary. Not much to debate there.
she got 110 million or somewhere thereabouts. She and Tiger came to a nice agreement quickly. There was hardly a legal battle. If you think she walked away with half a billion then I guess that explains some of your silly outrage.
I'm sure that her new billionaire boyfriend will cover the estate taxes for her if she needs any helo
I know. It's only like she was running the household and taking care of the kids! I wonder how many people realize they have kids. She wasn't just driving around topless near the beach all day.

I don't understand what the problem is. Sure, she's filthy rich - some of you talk as though being rich is a bad thing. But the money she spends getting a new house built is going to keep a good few people employed.
Not a bad thing, surely.

That really doesn't look like a 1920s era house, but OK.
It's in line with other ones
Usually the giveaway that a house is near ore more than a 100 years old is the clusterfuck of windows on them to let in light before they were electricity'd

Also windows are using smaller multiple panels rather than single larger panels; because glass was much harder to manufacture back then.

She got racks on racks on racks.
Also there was no concrete and bricks were mortared with ground orphan.

Turns out to have a happy ending after all.
But... the end result was no different whether the original house was damaged or if it was in perfect condition. It might be less wasteful, but only because there was less to waste in the first place!

Ground orphan is almost impossible to find these days, (thanks a helluva lot, Angelina Jolie!) so it's no surprise when people tear these old mansions down. It's just too darned expensive to do a proper period-perfect restoration.

She got the huge payday not simply because she was married to Woods, she got the huge payday because Woods was a cheating scumbag.

No, I'm pretty sure it'd because she was married to Tiger Woods. I'm not condoning cheating in any way but even if they had divorced relatively good terms (as in him not cheating but the marriage just not working) she would have still gotten a huge amount. Because she was married to Tiger Woods.

The bulk of the big cash is just because of who he is and how much money he made while they were together, and what lifestyle she got used to, for sure.
As it was explained to me, actually, though Florida is a so-called "no fault" state, the cheating does matter somewhat as far as the kids and the distribution of assets. The cheating reflects on your fitness to parent the kids, and the money part works like this:
Before you are divorced, the law in Florida considers all your assets a pile of shared marital property. If one person in the partnership is considered to be wasting those marital assets on whores, dropping loads of money in Vegas and elsewhere chasing those whores, wining and dining the whores, giving whores money, gifts, ect.--basically all things the non-cheater would never agree to spend those shared assets on--then the other partner can ask for that their half of those assets back in addition to what they'd normally get in a settlement.

In the end, are we really any better than her? Every time you throw away bottle of shampoo just because the label is peeling off, our toss out a tube of toothpaste because the tri-color effect is muddled, aren't you too destroying a mansion of your own? Let's not be so quick to judge. Every worn sock you don't mend, every banana you let go bad.
We are all Elin Nordegren.

Spouse sleeps with over 120 women and has a one night stand with your neighbor's daughter that you knew since she was 14?
100 million sounds about right.
Wife spends all day doing nothing but thinking of new and inventive ways to spend my money. Nope she is, in my opinion, still not entitled to it.
I thought she was busy taking care of his children, the house, while keeping her super model looks.
