Elin Nordegren is getting $110 million in her divorce settlement. That's the latest on the Tiger Woods - Elin Nordegren divorce front. Elin, formerly Elin Woods, is going to get a pretty nice lump of cash out of this whole "Escalade-waitresses-porn star" debacle that happened to the top golfer in the land nearly a year ago. She will get $110 million when the papers are signed, sealed and delivered. A sum that has been tossed around ever since news hit that the two would be splitting. While nobody knows exactly how much Tiger is worth (Remember that story that floated around a year or so ago about Woods becoming the first athlete to hit the billion-dollar mark?), most people felt $110 million was too low for Elin. Even if he is a bit short of a billion, I think he got off very lightly. She could have gotten more if she had pressed for it and persisted. As for Tiger, he should have offered more since she will be raising the kids. Further proof of his sterling character.
No worries, though, for the 30-year-old former model. She is still a very rich, single lady who can move on with her life, away from golf, and Tiger and the constant speculation and media attention that must be driving her batty. She can become herself again, free from all the ups and downs of the past year.
It has been the most dominant story in the golf world this season, overshadowing the sport completely. You can bet anytime Elin and Tiger are in the news, it is going to be reported worldwide. He's the most famous athlete in the world, still, and a fall from grace is always going to lead the evening news. He will no doubt continue to indulge in his chosen lifestyle now that he has no encumbrance, like a wife. I'm willing to bet, however, that he will be a little more discreet in future.
Hi Joanna
ReplyDeleteThe postponement of the end of the world is only temporary, until the next gloom and doom guy comes along, but I'm sure there is ample time for the girls to clean the barn and paint it too.
I'm eager to hear what happened in Washington. Hope they have an equally nice trip home.

Hello Jeannie
ReplyDeleteSo true about the next gloom and doom guy that comes along, they are trying to out do each other .
Things was so different 20 or so years ago.
I told my girls to always have a sense of humor and laughter makes their troubles less painful.
G. said court was still in session and they haven't reach a decision but it seems to be leaning in their favor.
They left DC around 7:pm after getting everyone on the bus and should be arriving sometime tomorrow evening not sure of the time.
Mae and I are giving G. a surprise birthday party Saturday for his 83rd birthday. Jonny's 9th birthday is October 29th so he will have a party too.
Nee said to tell you she was very disappointed they couldn't get into the hearing but she's still glad she went, she learned a lot and made many friends and some from across the river in Bossier City.
I do believe they are driving straight through.
Nee says she will call around 11:pm my time and let me know, if so, I will tell you about what time they are getting here.
Joanna
PS: Thanks for telling G. Nee was exhausted.
I think Nee has the right name 'Witchy' the way she flys around here she just don't have a broom.
