A billion dollar mistake…

There are some things that go on in the world that we will never quite figure out. We wrote about this same situation albeit different players not long ago with Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney; we wonder if Tiger and his people ever contacted McCartney’s attorney’s. If not, he should have… TIGER Woods and Elin Nordegren are “very close” to finalizing their divorce — insiders say.

The couple — who are ending their marriage because Tiger cheated on Elin with a yacht load of different women — have agreed most aspects of their split, according to RadarOnline.

“They’ve agreed on all the major points,” a source said.

“It’s all been worked out privately. Both Tiger and Elin are very close to finishing the negotiations and filing and signing the paperwork.

Elin is expected to receive approximately $750 million in the settlement.

“When they first started negotiating the divorce, it was very acrimonious,” the source added. “Elin had a lawyer in California who was very, very aggressive. “Things are now very civil between Tiger and Elin – at least in terms of getting the divorce taken care of.”

Just to add our measly two cents: We believe that every man in the civilized world should sit up and take notice of this egregious double standard that exists between divorce “rights” between a man and a woman. What did Elin ever do in 5 years to deserve $750 million dollars!

Why not take her salary for the exact same time she spent with Tiger and a compromise on child-rearing expenses and start the bidding there? As for us that sounds at least fair. Incidentally that is what the U.S. government pays to workers in the event of a worker’s compensation claim.

Yet to think that this man is on the brink of losing custody of his children plus three-quarters of a billion dollars, to a person who was “with” him for what 5 or 6 years?

Just for the sake our sanity we have just a few tidbits of information we’d like to proffer: Obviously Tiger enjoyed his lifestyle as a bachelor because he’s paying almost a billion dollars to get them all back; we urged Tiger NOT to tie the knot because we could easily see where Elin’s head was at regarding the money; what happened to good old fashioned prenuptial agreements?
