Tiger Woods wife gets 750 million.

Deus Ex Machina

Perhaps this should go in the "don't be embarrassed thread", but can somebody explain to me how she ends up getting this kind of money? Clearly it was Tiger Woods who earned this money, what entitlement does she have to it?

From what I can tell Tiger would ride anything , so you could be in for a bumpy night(s).

Wonder what would happen if Tiger gave 750 million to charity before a settlement was reached? Nobody deserves that kind of cash.

How could she possibly deserve that much?:eek:

If you're rich and get married you must be insane.

She would have got alot more if she or her attorneys persuaded her to be more greedy?

Wow. In all my time on boards (which, admittedly, isn't as long as others), I genuinely haven't come across a more idiotic and misogynistic post than this. I think, at this stage, most of us can differentiate between trolling, joking, and being serious. And this post is the later. To be honest, I don't care who did what, and who got what. But when somebody has been caught rapid being a deceitful liar, they should pay. That you think his wife, who seemingly never cheated, but stood by her husband, is the whore of the relationship, shows you up as a shallow, morally idiotic person. Thank christ not all people think like you, or it would be a sad, moronic world we would live in. More so.

From what I've read, he is offering her a huge settlement that will come with an ironclad confidentiality agreement. If she were to disclose fully what happened in their marriage - which not only might include allegations about other women, but also performance-enhancing drug use, which would be far more damaging - she could potentially jeopardize his ability to ever attract a sponsor again. And there are currently stories floating around about Tiger's ties to a known provider of HGH.

She is entitled to 50%, she is getting it. Nice of you to call the innocent mother of small children a whore. If she is a whore, what does that make him?

It's called being his wife, that's part of marriage, everything that is theirs is also yours.

I'm sure she'll never enjoy her $750m that she was perfectly entitled to when she reads that gleep thinks she's a whore.
If tiger wasn't prepared to pay it he shouldn't have married, shouldn't have rode a load of slappers and shouldn't have paid her off to not say anything.

I think it's cos Tiger doesn't want the world to find out that he liked to be taken with a strap-on while wearing womens pants

Didn't she beat him with a gold club, divorce him and then rape him for 750 million?

Playing it a bit fast and lose with the term 'rape,' aren't we? Perhaps he shouldn't have fucked everything he saw. Or maybe divorced his wife first before doing it. No sympathy for him. He wouldn't give a shit if he hadn't have been caught.

Fuck everything they see after they vowed to be loyal under the sancitity of marriage? gtfo.

I'm not one for marriage, but if you make the commitment, stick by it. There's no such thing as honour any more when it comes to 'celebrities,' sports stars, politicians, etc. Fuck around, pay the price. Otherwise, don't get married, sign a pre-nump, or you know, keep it in your pants.

He turned down a 75 million deal with Paddy Power, after being dropped by the majority of his sponsors. I doubt he needs the money.

And he was the perfect husband, yeah? She's being called a whore and a gold digger for divorcing him and taking what she is entitled to.
If she turned a blind eye to his cheating and stayed with him, she would also be called a whore and a gold digger.
If it was the other way around and she had cheated on him, she would still be called a whore and a gold digger.

Surely, this one has to go down as the "Most Costliest Error at Work"?

lynski

when you get married it is for better or for worse. he handed all his assets to her the day he married her, she held up her side, he breached the contract. if he had gotten himself into a 750mil of personal debt hole she would be stuck right there with him.
to call him a low life is not to display anything but a sense of reality - a married father who goes and shags skanks - and please do not try to defend them - unprotected or protected is nothing but a lowlife scumbag, is there another word anyone could come up with?
he could have brought home anything to his wife - and if she has to remain silent for life who knows if he did?
He endangered his children's future happiness and he humiliated the one person he is supposed to be closest too. he should lose it all.

Wolfe Tone

If it is true, Tiger is still a young guy he will earn it back 5 times over.

metaoblivia

This isn't just a divorce settlement, it's hush money. I think a portion of whatever she's getting goes toward getting her to sign that confidentiality agreement, and that's the real prize. She could cash in by telling all of Tiger's dirty little secrets to the press. This money is an incentive to keep her quiet and allow Tiger to rebuild his reputation without worrying about whether or not she'll release a book a few years down the line.

Exactly. He could have given her AIDS or anything. He brought the whole thing completely upon himself, and he knew full well what marriage entails- especially if it ends in divorce.

Too strong I admit. I just don't think she should get that much. Why not just let her take what is hers, what she earned and enough to support herself and the kids when she gets them.

Meh, it was partly tongue and cheek. You need to relax tbh. What he did was wrong but then again nobody knows the full story. It's all speculation (even taking Tiger's statement's into account) And this is after hours where nothing is serious. Please calm down.:)

greenmachine88

What an absolute joke, this women has not accomplished a single thing in her entire life other that looking mildly attractive she was vain enough to use her good looks to her advantage.
I'm not saying Tiger deserves the money he gets for what he does but she has absolutely no claim over HIS finances, a model? f**k that bull**** who cares if he cheated on her with all those other women, he's Tiger Woods!

It' similar to Heather Mills and Paul McCartney, on one side you have a musical genius who's worked hard his entire life and a mildly attractive nobody who exploits his good fortune and talent for herself, they don't deserve a penny!

why the venom directed at her - she did nothing wrong except trust a fool

profitius

Its amazing how people are surprised by her actions.

She didn't exactly marry him for his looks. And he lets face it, behind the camera and propaganda he is a cheat and a fake person so it couldn't have been for his personality either.

Would she have married this man if he wasn't famous? We all know that answer.

There are two questions really, what is the legal basis for her receiving such an astronomical sum of money, which is probably easily explained by somebody who knows the law in this area, and the second question, the moral basis of her receiving the sum.

Your initial response didn't clear up much of the confusion for me, I would grateful if you could edify me.

And, even though it may have been pointed out before, the 750 million figure isn't exactly set in stone. As an article in the Orlando Sentinel explains:

Oh ffs, grow up. I made a smart remark. This is ah, get over it. She was wronged by her husband, he apologised. They divorced. She got enough money off him to do her fifty lifetimes. She got a fairly good deal if you ask me. They should just move on and let Woods get abck to concentrating on his golf career. You should probably get back to your own life too..:)

Wasn't she some other golfers nanny when he met her?

I reckon he will find god and marry a william's sister and they can make some sports winning machines.

Why is she entitled to 750 million just because she married the right guy? She played no part in making that money all she should get is enough to support her kids. Also she bet him with a golf club, even if your partner cheats on you nothing gives you the right to assault them never mind with a fúcking golf club. Imagine if she cheated on him and he smacked her around with a gold club.

Whatever action he got from those 18 or so girls, it still works out pretty damned expensive! 750 mil could have got him sex with hot chicks for the next thousand years if that's all he wanted.

As much as she doesn't deserve the amount of money she's getting, it's hard to have much sympathy for him either. And even if she does get 750M (or some other ridiculous sum) poor old Tiger still won't go be going hungry any time soon. So don't feel too sorry for him.

SugarHigh

This makes me more empathic towards OJ, can't really blame him for taking the cheaper option of a murder trial than a divorce trial.

Agricola

Its a pretty sick sum of money to be paying her tbh. Yes she was his wife, yes he was in the wrong, yes theres kids involved, but if she had been awarded 30, 40, 50 - hell say 100 million dollars, wouldnt that be an astronomical sum. 3/4 of a billion is fúckin lunacy. I dont care what they say about marriage/divorce laws, 50/50 blah blah blah. Those laws were drawn up for commoners like us, so that divorced wives wouldnt be destitute inside a week. The same rules shouldnt apply to the super rich. No matter what he did, he shouldnt have to pay out that amount of dough, for the simply reason that his wife would never need anything like that amount of money to support herself and the kids. Its ridiculous.

F*ck that. Marrying a guy and having children isn't worth 750 million any way you look at it. Fact is, he earnt that money why should he have to give her anything bar what he owes the kids, especially with a prenuptual agreement? So what if he cheated? Tonnes of people cheat. If she wants to leave him, fair enough but I can't see any way in which she can morally have any claim to his life earnings.

Misogyny my hole. Half your life's worth because you f*cked up is harsh for any crime in which nobody actually gets hurt (bar emotionally).
