But let me say this, Desiree. My main objective is to be objective. Though I am a woman, I am not taking sides in this. I wish some people could see this woman for what she is, and she makes it bad for women out there who can love a man for who he is. I hate to say this, but the world's oldest profession has become glamorized and glorified. It's just more subtle. Elin is no different than the women that Tiger paid to sleep with him. If you make business arrangements to sleep with somebody, and I strongly believe it was business, don't think it will not come back to haunt you. Also, if she truly loves Tiger like most people claims, or financially stable before the marriage, she would just take the $30 million and bounce or make the marriage work by supporting his sex therapy sessions. Isn't marriage for better or worse? But no, she leaves and want almost all of his fortune. She's greedy and crazy. Her lawyers know that, and loving it. The judge is probably laughing in the chamber. Tiger is not off the hook. He's paying for his deeds, too. He can't pretend, no more.

angel345 said:

OK...let's assume that Elin is a legalized skank. What does that make Tiger other than her #1 client/benefactor? I repeat HE ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM! He wanted kids with her and he wanted her to help him form this image that low and behold helped get him to the financial status that he is. I don't know why, but many cultures look up to a married man moreso than a player. If Elin is no different than the women Tiger ho'd around with then why did he marry her? He married her because (see sentence 4), therefore as a business partnership that he chose to taint and destroy...she's entitled to at least ASK for what she feels her time and investment was worth. Yes I said investment, lest we forget that she was the one carrying, birthing and raising those tots and probably coming up with some lie about why daddy wasn't around. If their marriage had just ended because they mutually got tired of each other then I would say yes, take your 30 mill and call it a day. However, it seems that she was under the impression her marraige was stable and all of a sudden it's ho after ho after ho and with NO CONDOM! Once you start playing with somebody's mind and physical health then you are at war. Let the chips fall where they may. Marriage is for better or worse but who defines what that is? The couple does. It's not up to us to tell Elin to stay there and take the public embarassment and scrutiny and let her husband fuck around and bring her back some disease. It's also not up to us to tell this woman what she does or doesn't deserve as a divorce settlement.

My beef with this whole damn thread is that everyone is acting like Tiger is some victim when HE BROUGHT THIS SHIT ON HIMSELF! Fuck that sorry ass and anybody who looks and acts like him.

I believe that I said he's reaping what he's sown, and skanks get married too. She knew that he's a public figure, and I'm willing to bet she knew he was a cheater before she married him. I believe both of them had ulterior motives, and it came back to haunt them. He wanted a trophy wife, and she wanted his loot. We don't make the determination of how much she gets, the judge does. However,it is riduculous to clean out a person's bank account because your feelings are hurt. If she choose to leave, then leave, but the world don't owe you nothing. It wasn't a marriage after all. We don't have to agree, but I hope we're cool

If she gets $750 mill cool and if she gets $75 mill then that's also cool. More money then I will ever see.

DesireeNevermind said:

$75mil I can understand - $750mil?? Fuck that!

uPtoWnNY said:

well at least you wanna give her sumthin'

angel345 said:

oh hon we're always cool

I'm just looking at this as a person who could give a fuck about this alleged $750 mill settlement request. If she gets $750 mill cool and if she gets $75 mill then that's also cool. More money then I will ever see. Tiger is not getting cleaned out though. Divorce court doesn't work that way or at least I've never heard of anyone being financially ruined and bankrupt by a divorce judge. A judge is not going to take away Tiger's ability to support himself and/or his kids. Tiger will have plenty plus once the papers are signed. It's just sad that so many don't realize none of this would be happening if people like Tiger would keep their dicks/pussies in their pants or just not get married to begin with. When did random fucking with strangers become acceptable behavior for married people who claim to be in love with their spouses?

She should get everything! The humiliation will never go away for that poor woman.

DesireeNevermind said:

That's probably as old as marriage itself.

SUPRMAN said:

With a society buy-in? I don't thinks so.

BklynBabe said:

I'd probably give the money away, too.

CarrieLee said:

If the humiliation never goes away, why should she get everything?
How is it humiliating for her? He cheated . . .

SUPRMAN said:

You wouldn't be humiliated if your spouse was banging a porn star and 15 other nasty hos? Maybe even more than that, I lost count.

Being cheated on is one of the worst feelings out there, IMO anyway. The humility, the disregard of your spouse's feelings, the lack of respect...it's gross...all of it.

CarrieLee said:

Since I've been there, no I wasn't humiliated.
I didn't see myself as the problem.
The lack of respect and disregard for my feelings made me upset but I never felt humiliated.
Their behavior wasn't because of what I was or wasn't doing.
Adults should regulate their own behavior.

SUPRMAN said:

Well everyone is different. *I* would be humiliated, especially where he is in the public eye and all these gross girls are coming forward publicly. Who knows if she contracted some nasty disease? I have no sympathy for that man.

you have to really wonder WHY Tiger was out banging all these broads. Could it be because of how SHE treated him? Was she one of his hos when she suckered him into marrying her? We'll never know the full details if Tiger doesn't talk but yeah, why was he running around in the first place. Maybe she pulled that bait and switch thing that lots of women do and no longer is interested in sex once they got the ring and the kid....

That's not true. Women only marry for love and to stand by their man for happy ever after.

SUPRMAN said:

Did you see the thread I did where I advised all men to give their women Cubic Zirconias? I think that was the beginning of the end of my love affair with orgers

"Look man...these tricks are dirty and they will expose you one by one"
"Look man...aint no extramarrital pussy worth losing your wife, kids and fortune"

"Look man...if you've got to mess around can we at least go to the bunny ranch?"

"Look man...sure you've got a small dick but have you tried using your tonge?"

"Look man...Elin gonna go upside your head with a 9-iron once she finds out!"

I did not.

You done lost your mind.


Suckered him into marrying her
Bait and Switch


Please!


Here's my take. Tiger cheated because he could! He hung around other cheaters with probably worse judgment than him! There was no voice of reason to tell him:
"Look man...these tricks are dirty and they will expose you one by one"
"Look man...aint no extramarrital pussy worth losing your wife, kids and fortune"

"Look man...if you've got to mess around can we at least go to the bunny ranch?"

"Look man...sure you've got a small dick but have you tried using your tonge?"

"Look man...Elin gonna go upside your head with a 9-iron once she finds out!"

CarrieLee said:

I think I would be humiliated, too. Part of that is my self esteem, and part of it is I'd feel like an idiot for having made such a mistake in who I trusted & being blind. Not to mention that this particular situation is totally public. Even though I agree with Suprman that the real issue is them, not me.

But most people seem to agree she deserves something (ie millions of dollars) for wasting years of her life, placing faith in him, having his kids, etc etc. The only argument here seems to be how much does she deserve.

Divorce News & Articles
Largest Divorce Verdict in U.S. History
We thought Michael Jordan's divorce from wife Juanita was going to make history as the most expensive at a reported pending $150 million settlement, but the Polsky divorce in Cook County, Illinois has just topped that by $34 million.

On June 4, Cook County Circuit Judge William Boyd, who had previously awarded Maya Polsky a divorce settlement of $176 million from her energy industry magnate husband Michael Polsky, announced that he had reconsidered his ruling. Boyd raised the settlement amount to a whopping $184 million. Michael Polsky has got to be steamed over this new ruling, because his attorneys had asked Judge Boyd to reconsider his prior ruling and reduce the award but instead he added $8 million. If this ruling stands it will be the largest divorce verdict in U.S. history.

Celebrity divorce settlements are commonly large, and sometimes larger if the marriage sustained for longer than a few years. The Michael and Juanita Jordan divorce is not the only instance in which the spouse of a celebrity has walked away with millions. Steven Spielberg, who split from wife Amy Irving in 1989, paid her a reported $100 million in their divorce settlement. Irving successfully contested their pre-nuptial agreement because it was reportedly scribbled on a napkin without the advice of an attorney. Neil Diamond and Marcia Murphey divorced in 1994 after 25 years of marriage. Diamond paid Murphey a reported $150 million in their divorce settlement and is quoted as saying she's "worth every penny". Obviously not everyone feels that way about his or her ex-spouse.

The Polskys are not celebrities. They were married in 1975 in the then Soviet Union, and shortly thereafter emigrated to the U.S. with four suitcases and about $500 to their names. Mrs. Polsky was pregnant with their first child when they arrived in the states. The couple separated in 2002 and in 2003 Mrs. Polsky filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

As an engineer, Mr. Polsky made his fortune in the energy business and currently heads Invenergy LLC. Mrs. Polsky stayed at home and cared for the couple's two sons during the marriage and several years ago opened the Maya Polsky Gallery.

Maya Polsky's lawyer, Howard Rosenfeld, says that the settlement is fair because it is an even distribution of the couple's assets and that as a wife Mrs. Polsky provided emotional support for her husband and was his confidante. He had asked the judge to award Mrs. Polsky more than 50% of the estate because of Mr. Polsky's ability to continue earning more money in the future, but is happy with the 50/50 split.

Michael Polsky's attorney argues that the settlement is grossly unfair because Maya Polsky was not a driving force in the business and did nothing to help develop it and build the wealth that Mr. Polsky accumulated during the marriage.

The award is groundbreaking and remarkable not only because of the huge amount of the award, but also because it clearly sends the message that marriage is a partnership. Mega-million dollar estates are not commonly split evenly between the wealth building spouse and the homemaker.

NUMBER 4
Neil Diamond & Marcia Murphey -- $150 million
A crooner beloved the world over, Neil Diamond has known success since the '60s with his own brand of easy listening classics. Throughout the '70s, he set new world records in record sales and concert attendance. During his career, which has spanned four decades, Diamond has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. When he met the woman who would share his life for 25 years, he was already married to wife number one.

Apparently, Diamond went out for cigarettes in November 1969 and never came back. Three weeks later, he had divorced and married TV producer Marcia Murphey. Following rumors of extramarital activities on Diamond's part in 1994, she moved to Splitsville, citing the popular "irreconcilable differences." The divorce was settled for $150 million, half his fortune. The singer claims he cheerfully gave her the money (she's "worth every penny") and that she deserved it for having bore him wonderful children.
NUMBER 3
Craig & Wendy McCaw -- (more than) $460 million
Craig McCaw got steady on his feet by turning a failing television cable service he had inherited from his father into a successful business, eventually selling for $755 million. In 1981, he proved to be a visionary by acquiring cellular phone licenses. He eventually sold his company to AT&T for approximately $12 billion, becoming the telecommunications giant's largest single shareholder.

McCaw met Wendy when she tutored him at Stanford University and they married in 1974. In 1995, divorce proceedings were initiated and Wendy wanted her share to support her nearly $200,000/month lifestyle. She ultimately walked away with $460 million, mostly all in Nextel stock.
NUMBER 2
Adnan & Soraya Khashoggi -- $874 million
Adnan Khashoggi is a Saudi businessman who made his money as an international arms dealer for the Saudi royal family. He then launched his company Triad, based in Switzerland, owning banks, hotels and real estate all over the world.

In 1986, his fortune was estimated at $4 billion but a decade later it was estimated that he had lost most of it due to dwindling oil prices. He married Soraya in 1961 and their jet-setting lifestyle favored a string of adulterous lovers for both of them. Their 1982 divorce netted her an estimated $874 million in an out-of-court settlement, although numbers vary according to sources.


NUMBER 1
Rupert & Anna Murdoch -- $1.7 billion
One of the richest men in the world, Rupert Murdoch developed his worldwide media empire when he inherited his father's Australian newspaper in 1952. He married Anna Murdoch in the '60s and they remained together for 32 years, springing off three children.

They split amicably in 1998 but soon Rupert forced Anna off the board of News Corp and the gloves came off. The divorce was finalized in June 1999 when Rupert agreed to let his ex-wife leave with $1.7 billion worth of his assets, $110 million of it in cash. Seventeen days later, Rupert married Wendi Deng, one of his employees.
DON'T GET TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS
Having written such an article, I expect the American Bar Association to send me a very generous check. After all, didn't I just pen the greatest advertising for prenuptial agreements? With this kind of money up for grabs, romance must be sidestepped for a moment and all men should definitely equip themselves with an ironclad prenup.
