Tiger Woods can't give Elin Nordegren $750 million -- he's only worth $600 mill
Sorry, Elin Nordegren. You're not really getting that $750 million that so many sites reported you were getting in your divorce settlement from Tiger Woods. But you probably knew that.According to Forbes, El Tigre is only worth about a measly $600 million. Jeez. A relative pauper!
But we'll let Forbes -- who has been tracking Woods' earning power since he turned pro in 1996 -- explain the financial deets to you:
"Last year he became the first athlete to earn a cumulative $1 billion through his income from prize money, appearance fees, endorsements and his golf course design business," Forbes writes.
The magazine points out that Tiger's annual earnings in 2010 will be off by around $30 million after spooked sponsors Accenture, AT&T and Gatorade distanced themselves from the scandal-plagued golf star. But he still earned slightly over $100 million in the past year. And he still ranks high -- No. 5 -- on their list of the most powerful celebrities.
Forbes would be remiss if they did not add that Tiger's earnings are all pre-tax and pre-payments to agents, etc.
"By our count Woods is worth $600 million, and any divorce settlement is likely to be worth a fraction of current reports," Forbes concludes.
So let's see -- Elin and Tiger have been married since 2004. That's six years. Two kids. Over a dozen mistresses and countless lies.
How much do you think Elin should get?

Iz hates myz job itz sucs
I'm just waiting to see if @Julie has a cow again.....
I believe that Tiger Woods is worth more than $600 millions. The amount that Forbes is reporting may be the amount that Tiger reports to the IRS and pays taxes on. I have read about cases of wealthy millionaires who keep part of their money in foreign banks/countries in order to evade taxes. Regardless, I still believe that Elin will get $750 millions because the parties in a divorce could agreed that the settlement be paid over a certain period of time !!!
Carmen, he's not even worth 750 miilion dollars! Use your brain.
How much should Elin get? Definitely not $750 Million! That is ridiculous, no matter what she has had to go through over the past several months. Tiger Woods should take care of her and their children, but Tiger should NOT be dishing out that kind of money, which HE earned, not her. $50 Million should suffice.
Elin should get it ALL. Eldrick screwed up when he screwed everything with a pulse and exposed his wife to innumerable STDs.
If anybody here subscribes to Dish Network your supporting the slave trade. They treat there people so bad becuz they know they can cuz the economy sucks. They cheat us out of bonuses take our days off away with mandetory overtime. They also screw customers by adding on hidden fees, and when people call us 2 complain, were sposed to "sell the value of Dish." I hate Dish. What ever you do, don't get Dish Network!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nina = retarded.
Elin gets $200M
I can't believe they would give her that much. she has never lift a golf ball. if Michael Jordans wife didn't even get half of his money and they were married for 16 years and did not sign a prenup, how in the world she gets all his money and only stayed married for 5 years that makes no sense with that money he should be able to do whatever he wants bring girlfriends around his kids. thats stupid he's a grown *** man how many people got divorces and move on to new relationships and thier kids are around them she just trying to be controlling.And for her to accept that money she is nothing but a gold digger. she only married him because he is rich any way. Nothing but greed. God don't like ugly. that is one of the most unfair things I have ever heard and I guarantee she will leak out some of the garbage ether her or one of the girlfriends or family so if he is giving her hush money thats dumb and stupid. what else can she say about him that people don't already know
either way she's going to walk away with a chunk of his money. i'm just glad she's not going to be one of those wives who turns a blind eye and stays with him.
