Tiger Woods' Wife Wants $750 Million By Boyce Watkins, PhD

Elin Nordegren, the wife of golf superstar Tiger Woods, is either one hell of a negotiator or has lost her ever-loving mind. Reports are now stating that Elin is asking for $750 million from Woods as part of their divorce settlement. Additionally, she wants full custody of the kids and will not agree to a confidentiality clause.


The confidentiality clause would prevent her from ever writing a book or doing interviews about the breakup. Sources say that the divorce negotiations "have turned extremely testy" and that the couple is no longer speaking. Elin has spent most of her time away from Tiger lately. She took the kids to Sweden while he was playing golf in a tournament, and Tiger is allegedly hanging out with a blonde in Florida. It seems that since the car crash that occurred last November, Woods' perfect life is slowly starting to unravel.




What's most shocking about the amount that Nordegren is allegedly requesting from Tiger is that Tiger's entire fortune is only worth $600 million, according to the 2009 estimates of Forbes magazine. It is highly unlikely that Elin will get the entire $750 million she requests (which would require Tiger to keep playing golf for another few years to make his required payments), but when you ask for $750 million, that makes $200 million look quite reasonable. That's quite a nice take for a few years of marriage, wouldn't you say?



Everyone seems to have something to say about Tiger's wife -- even rapper Madam Prezident referred to her as "Elin Nordegreed." Well, I ain't sayin she's a gold digger, but......

Why is Tiger Woods so afraid of what Elin Nordegren could say to the world ???
Tiger Woods is a devious serial adulterer, a perverted sex maniac and a liar of the worst kind!!! He is a remorseless, soulless, self centered shell of a person!!! This settlement amount is for a complete package for both, Elin and the children and it went up because Tiger is demanding from Elin a lifetime confidentiality clause. This is an absolutely outrageous demand from Tiger and I hope that Elin and her lawyers fight it and do not budge on this. Tiger betrayed, deceived and humiliated Elin in front of the world and caused irreparable damage to their marriage and family! Tiger continues to victimize Elin by condemning her to be silent for the rest of her life!!! Elin should have the right to say her story even if she agrees for it to be published after she dies and the world will like to hear it!!!
