Elin Nordegren Gets $750M, Custody of Kids in Exchange for Silence

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...ce/?test=faces

Excerpt:

Tiger Woods is banned from letting girlfriends near his kids in a divorce deal netting his ex a record $750 million settlement, The Sun reported Wednesday.
The golfer agreed to keep single women away from daughter Sam, three, and son Charlie, one.

He can bring a new flame into their lives only if he marries her. In return, former wife Elin Nordegren ,30, gets the biggest payout ever seen in a celebrity divorce.

I have an extra bedroom Tiger can rent until he gets back on his feet. Rent will be very cheap 1% of his income each month. Will have a midnight curfew of course.

No matter which way you cut it, that's some mighty expensive Poon-Tang.

yep, if we estimate that in his time with her, that they had sex 500 times, that comes to $1.5 million per pop.

$750 million for his ex
$10 million for Rachel Uchitel

Quote:
TMZ has learned the actual settlement could fluctuate $1 million either way, depending on future circumstances. But the baseline is $10 mil.

Compare Rachel's settlement with what other A.M's received, if they got anything at all. We're told several mistresses got several hundred thousand dollars, and others got nothing. That speaks volumes about how much Rachel knows.

IMO the only way he pays this much money is if these women can allege or prove he used PEDs. What could they possibly say to hurt his image any further concerning non golf behavior? If he used PEDs, he'll never challenge Nicklaus as best golfer ever no matter how many majors he might win.

I don't follow golf and it goes without having to say that I know who Tiger Woods is. What an idiot he turned out to be. He's a joke now. It's a shame.

Not sure he would have any left after all of this mess he created.

This is the perfect topic to ask all the more libertarian-minded conservatives on this forum (and you all know who you are ) a serious question about this huge settlement, its fairness and even the grounds for this divorce. So, let's begin with this latter, since it's kinda fundamental to the consequences Tiger is suffering.

The grounds, of course, is a little ol' item called [b]adultery[/i]. But isn't adultery a little quaint? An old fashioned idea? So...18th centurish? For that matter -- even more antiquated since it finds its roots, apparently, in the bible -- of all places. Aren't there any libertarian types out there who think adultery has somewhat outlived its usefulness? Isn't adultery so....yesteryear? And doesn't libertarian ideology at its very core subscribe to the "live and let live" motto? Isn't this motto Tom was alluding to implicitly when he wrote on another topic:

The argument goes: People who "want" these things aren't really hurting anyone else. So society should just give people what they want. Yet, oddly, I don't hear any of you with a libertarian bent lamenting over how unfair and unjust this all is to Tiger. After all, wasn't he just having some sex? So what it was outside of wedlock! Lots of people have extramarital sex. This is what people do. This is what people want. Why should Tiger be punished for just being a normal, healthy human being who happens to have a little stronger strong sex drive than, perhaps, some other men? Isn't having sex with virtually anyone as natural as brushing your teeth in the morning? I mean...according to so many "open-minded, broad-minded, educated, enlightened" types, having same sex sex is not only okay, but that, too, is even considered today to be a natural act. What is the big deal, therefore, about adultery? Aren't all these punitive damages a huge waste of time and money on society? Aren't they grossly unjust? Shouldn't all adultery laws be repealed now that we're in the 21st Century?

What sayest thou, you libertarians?

That conversation you just had with yourself was hilarious...and quite revealing of your nature. Pick a topic, ANY topic, and Box will find a way to turn it into a Con vs Lib argument (or at least try to)...

Remember that perfect game that the ump messed up a few weeks back? Gee Box, was that a liberal umpire??? Hmmmm??? Below is some room for you discuss the topic with yourself. Have fun:












Now, don't you feel better for having put us all in our place and tellin us what's up??
