ChiSunTimes: Woods offers wife $60m to stay for 2 years. 3 times the
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 11:34 AM by Captain Hilts
Evidently, they've revisited the prenuptual agreement that would have given her $20m.

He is, after all, a billionaire. So, he could put $60m in his eye and still read.

Tiger Woods has offered his wife, Elin Nordegren, as much as $60 million (U.S.) to stay with him for another two years, according to reports.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported on Wednesday that Woods and Nordegren agreed to immediately revisit the pre-nuptial agreement they signed upon getting married in 2004.

The original document had Nordegren reaping a relatively meagre $20 million if she remained married to Woods for a decade. Woods was already vastly wealthy when he married. His worth now hovers around $1 billion, the most ever for an athlete.

2. Bribing her to stay? Does Woods think he can buy a happy marriage?
Money fucks people up big time.

3. He wants to buy a trophy
I hope there's a clause in that pre-nup that says he won't cheat.

I'd void that pre-nup in a second and sue that ass for everything she can get.

At one point, Tiger genually seemed like a nice person. At one point..................

11. What he's trying to buy is the happiest divorce possible

Since HE'S he one who screwed up the marriage (if you'll pardon the expression). He knows Elin is in a position to go after half of EVERYTHING--possibly more.

5. $20 million for 10 years, with $40 million in incentives
that sounds like a run of the mill sports contract, NOT a marriage.

7. No ______ is worth that much $
fill in the blank depending on your sexual preference.

Woods is a pig for cheating and whatever his wife ulitimately decides to do, Woods' alone bears responsibility for it.

This audio is funny as hell (to me)... you can hear the fear in Woods' voice:

9. HE broke the marriage vow--the prenup means nothing
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 04:03 PM by rocktivity
She can rightfully ask for half of what he's earned since they married, less child support.

13. Celebrities have adultery clauses
in their prenups. If they have a prenup in the first place you can bet there is one.

16. How would that work? You get X dollars if I cheat, you get nothing if YOU do?
Would the amount go up over the years? Is there a limit of how many TIMES you can cheat, and is it the same for the spouse? Is it really cheating if the wronged spouse doesn't know about it?

:shrug:

10. Tiger, it's a marriage, not a fucking contract negotiation.
Did you offer her an option for 2012 if she puts out a certain number of times too?

Goddamn, his father would be ashamed of him.

12. Funny, no one ever mentions his mother. His old man was a real pain in the ass, by
all accounts.

There's no telling what he'd think, but I generally agree with you that he'd be pissed Woods endangered his advertising revenue this way.

14. I think his Dad would be pissed that he's turned into such a whiny, tantrum-throwing
prima donna.

15. I think his dad actually encouraged some of that. He's like the Williams' dad or Jimmy Connors'
mother. I think they bring it out in their kids.
