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 dollars 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 break-up. 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, Tiger 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......
