JACKPOT!


                                              

According to reports,  Elin Nordegren is asking for $750 million in their divorce settlement.  She is also demanding full custody of the children and is not agreeing to a confidentiality clause. The clause would not allow her to write a book or do interviews after the divorce is final.  Due to the requests, the couple have not been on speaking terms. In 2009 Forbes reported that Tiger's fortune was only worth $600 million.  It is almost certain that Elin will not get what she is requesting due to the huge amount.  I do on the other hand think that the settlement amount will go down in history and make news headline everywhere. 

In 2009, CNBC reported that Robert Johnson, the co-founder of BET and America's first African-American billionaire, also has one of the biggest divorce settlements in history. After a marriage of over 30 years, the couple split up in 2000 and Sheila received an estimated $400 million in the settlement. Both have continued their business dealings, owning majority stakes in professional men's and women's basketball teams. In 2005, Sheila married William T. Newman Jr., the judge who presided over her original divorce case.
