Elin Nordegren Divorce Demands Reach $750 Million

Elin Nordegren has dramatically escalated her demands during negotiations over a possible divorce agreement with Tiger Woods, Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. According to the columnist, Woods' wife is seeking full custody of the couple's children and "an estimated $750 million package."

Zwecker writes that Tiger has demanded a strict -- and lifelong -- confidentiality clause that would bar her from disclosing information about their marriage in interviews or books.

It was previously reported that Woods and Nordegren are working toward a joint-custody arrangement, a rumor that was circulated before a new report alleged that the two are no longer speaking to each other.

1. I'd marry Tiger for that kind of money.

I do have a price. My wife might be upset about that at first at least until I show her the big bucks.

2. I'd do it for $500 million, and I don't have a wife to be displeased.

4. $100 million would be fine too.
I don't know what my minimum would be but I'd like to think I do have some standards and wouldn't sell myself for a pack of cigarettes.

3. My my my, those HuffPo comments are quite eye-opening
If this is half of the couple's net worth, then what's the beef? If not, then it ought to be.

5. It's easy to forget that when the figures are that high...
...but you're right. It didn't even dawn on me, but yes...if that is half their net worth, that's how that one is played. And if he has $750 million left at the end of it, well, he can enjoy it in his future days as a wiser man.

Didn't read the HuffPo comments...I'll have to go do that now.

8. My ex-wife was more into humiliation than compensation....
.
...and very publicly sought my $7.39.. um... "package".
.
.
.
.
.
.
The Divorce Court judge didn't help matters much when she declared
that my wife's estimate of my package's worth was hyper-inflated.
.

.
This was between us.

Poor li'l fella didn't deserve to be dragged into it.
