It appears that Tiger Wood's ex-wife bought a new $12 million dollar house and didn't like it for some reason, so she had it demolished. It is her money and she can do whatever she wants with it, but geeze.

This is one woman you don't want to cheat on.

Meh, there's a contractor somewhere that'll rebuild there and be very happy for it.

[Timestepper]

For some reason it reminds me of buddy up home in Kansas who claims he ain't gettin' married anymore. Nope, just gonna' out about every 3 or 4 years, find a woman he hates and buy her a house and a car...

[dats82]

She's a woman; therefore, she has the right to change her mind...

And do crazy things that make no sense.

[sigbrown1297]

What the F? She basically paid 12 mil for the property.

Is it ocean front? They don't make much more of that.

I have a friend who's wife left him some years back. One day I asked him if he thought he'd ever get married again. He replied, "Hell no! I've already bought this farm twice...I'll be d@mned if I'm gonna pay for it again." Women can get expensive.

Seriously.

She only got about $100,000 $100,000,000 from Tiger. Blowing over a tenth of it in a snit like that makes you wonder if she's not about as childish as him.

$100,000,000 Mac, but yes, I would agree.

[c.a.willard]

I think she should run for congress, shes already proven shes a frivolous spender. She'll fit right in

If I received 100 million because my wife cheated on me I would probably do something stupid with a good portion of my money. It may not involve destroying a mansion, but would be frivilous nonetheless... probably something involving two chicks, a lifetime supply of Jack Daniels and more weed than Willie Nelson... not that I've daydreamed about it or anything.

Right on target!

Two chicks? Dood... with $100M, dream a little bigger. Think Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.... all of them.

But seriously.... Tiger made one, and only one mistake. He got married.

In his world of mega-rich superstar athletes, no one would have cared if he had 16 girlfriends and 5 kids out of wedlock. He obviously could afford them. The media would've over looked it because of who he is. However, since he presented this "Mr. Perfect" family man image, when the crap hit the fan, they crucified him. He grew up with a poor example of how a husband should treat a wife (from his own father) so I suspect it was doomed from the beginning.

[daddyo]

Well, she IS creating jobs....

[willis68]

I say if you have the money do whatever you want with it. A lot of that price tag was for the property so she wants to build her dream home on that location, more power to her!

Although it might involve the Playboy mansion.

[Guest Spurhunter]

Shes an idiot...remember he was sticking his pork pole into every women he met and she had NO IDEA?? Come on.....

[G27]

It's not that unusual - she bought property worth $12M and razed the old house.

A decent investment banker would allow her to yield close to that much annually in interest on the $110m principle alone.

And yes, the lot was worth most of that $12M - it's ocean front property in Palm Beach.

Call her crazy if you want, but she just did more to create jobs (razing and rebuilding a multi-million dollar home) than anyone in DC has done in years...

Heh... that's what Tiger said

[kieefer]

Well, turns out that there was a pretty good reason for razing the estate: termites. A report in People magazine indicated that the 1920s-era mansion fell short of current hurricane safety codes, and combined with a termite infestation, that was enough to warrant blasting it down to the sand.

Yep, I just read that. Good for her. My apologies to you Ms. Nordegren for thinking you were nuts.

It seems like the media could do a better job and get the entire story before posting.

[Mike.357]

Termite infestation is a real problem in south florida especially in older wood framed homes. They got termites there that eat concrete too. The place is insect heaven.

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

If she would have done it without ryme or reason.. still her prerogative.. These people have so much money.. ..I am not sure I could even spend that in 3 lifetimes...

Bugs is good enough for me
