What's stupid about that, Subby? She bought a piece of property for the land, not for the existing house. She tore down the house, and is now building a custom one. Happens every day. So, why go out of your way to look like an idiot, just to make a "sugar daddy" crack? Is it because you hate women, hate yourself, or hate life?

Please. She got $750 million off of Tiger.

What she spends on that little housing project of hers is peanuts.

That's like a couple months of interest from her $700m.

She's probably trolling Tiger throwing away his hard earned cash.

Still farked up. Do you know how many lives you can save by donating that money and buying a place instead? I'm not saying she doesn't have the right to do what she wants with "her" money, but I'm still going to judge that she's someone to look down on.

Someone is going to have to do this with my father's home one day. Great piece of waterfront property in Florida. Unfortunately, the house has been ruined with all the animals running about the Christmas shiat everywhere. I swear I'm gonna get him on an episode of Hoarders

That original number way way off....she's "only" got about $100 million (plus some child support)...The $750 million figure was way off as Tiger was only estimated to ever have $700-$800 million...and currently most estimates are around $500-600 million range.

Quasar: Yes, she's the bad guy looking for a sugardaddy, not that woman some douche golfer cheated on a dozen times with ugly strippers.

I suppose I could hate her because she got $100 million dollars for doing nothing other than marrying a rich guy, but I think my ire is better placed on a court system that continually allows that to happen. Though I shouldn't be playing the violin for Tiger, he'll be fine, it's the guy with the 50k salary who has to send 45 of that to his ex-wife that really needs the sympathy.

I always figured she stopped putting out (as many wives do), Tiger said "Hey I'm attractive and successful; I should be able to get pussy now and again" (as many husbands do) and so he did (where most husbands go on redtube).

So that makes them both pretty lame.

Even then, if you can't, say, throw $50m into a mansion and live off the remaining $50m with you and your kids (and likely your grandkids) never needing to work a productive job a day in their lives, you're a complete and utter wastrel. If you're even moderately capable you can take that remaining $50m (I'm just pulling numbers out of my rear; I have no idea what she's spending on the place), and turn it into yet more. Heck, she could even take $10m of the that and do more good than all of us put together in order to shut up the haters. It would be a bigger percentage of total wealth than the vast majority of us ever donate willingly.

For the folks complaining about "What could she have done with that money," I hope you've never spent anything on a frivolous item EVER. That $5 Starbucks latte? Yeah, that six bucks was enough to feed an African family for a few days.

Yeah, it's her money, she can do what she wants with it. You can also light a cigar on fire with a $100 bill in front of a homeless shelter, and just because you can afford it doesn't make you less of an asshole.

I'll care a lot less if she allowed the contractors to salvage most of what they could and reused it or donated it.

Her doing this will employ architects, demolition workers, construction workers, and building suppliers. Would you rather she deprive those people of work?

By this same logic, vandals help society too because now we're employing people to paint over graffiti. She had a house. Now she is more than ten million dollars out and will still only have a house. The money went from people who went to see Tiger Woods play golf (which as entertainment did not go to something tangible), to building a house (which is tangible), except that there already was a house, but now there's ten tons of garbage and a house. The money could have gone to build a dozen houses (employing architects, construction workers, and building suppliers) and there still would have been the original mansion.

She's worth almost a half a billion and I believe she is currently engaged to another billionare. I'm sure she's crushed that a super cool hipster is "looking down" on her on the internet.

You tipped the "barista?"

Seriously, some of them totally expect tips. Tim Hortons up here hates the new pre-pay cards because "they don't get a tip with them." The fark? I worked at Tims (for a total of a month during the summer off between second and third year university until I found a better job), and while the tips were nice, all you do is put stale donuts in a bag, and poor shiatty coffee in a paper cup.

sorry for the derail.

So, do you look down on all the people who buy property to build on (and demo the houses that are there)? You know that this sort of thing is in the news a lot, and Mitt Romney is the most prominent, current example. But Elin somehow gets your dander up? Is it somehow worse when it's a woman whose husband cheated on her with numerous women, humiliated her, and exposed her to STDs?

But this time, some of that circle-of-rich-people-money went to carpenters, electricians, plumbers, dry wall specialists, painters, masons, and other everyday joes and jills. Buy doing what she did, the money broke free of the rich people circle and got into the hands of middle and lower-middle class people, some of whom were, no doubt, laid off. And, because those people were middle and lower-middle class people, that money went to pay bills and buy groceries, further spreading money to the people who could really use it.

But this instance gets you upset. Hint: It's not because of your generous heart.

Wow! That is just crazy! At first I thought Tiger shouldve used the first rule of divorce "Cheaper to keep'er" but considering she's blowing almost half of her settlement on one house it seems like Tiger made a very smart financial decision to divorce her. Really, If shes blowing her own money at this rate I wonder how much she was blowing Tiger's money? (ps: Im also guess if she was blowing Tiger instead of his money there'd be no Ihop girls nor divorce just sayin).

Those people already have work. What about the people who don't have any sources of income?

How do you know those people have work? They only have work because people like Elin hire their companies.

I think it might be a combination of things, but, yeah, speaking in generalities, if she won't have sex with him, she really shouldn't expect anything different. Not that I'm condoning cheating, I wouldn't personally do it, but then again, I've never been in a marriage where this situation occured, so it's tough for me to judge a guy who is possibly in the situation of get divorced and be in financial ruin or put up with a marriage you really don't want to be in.

To be fair, she bought in the Seminole Golf Club neighborhood. Some of those homes in there are pretty old. I can imagine this one being at least 25-30+ years old.

Oceanfront property that doesn't already include a house in this area is pretty much non-existent. That land is worth close to 8 figures anyhow. This is not a big deal.

How is she worth almost half a billion? Did she marry Tiger and divorce him 4 more times? Need a citation on that one.

As far as her being engaged to someone else, I never understood this from men or women. You just got divorced, why are you so eager to jump back in and get married again? I find it stupid to do that. Just about every time that happens people end up with exactly the same type of person they divorced in the first place.

Oh and about this house, it's her money she can do with it what she wants. All of you saying how stupid this is, if you had that type of money you would do it also.

New rich buys it, burns it to ashes, and builds something gaudy and unnecessary because 'they can'.

Elin is 'new rich'.

Theres myriad of sacrfices you could make every day so you don't use resources that cause death and suffering in third world countrys, and all the money you spend on any kind of non necessary good could save peasants in Africa.
