Fresh off the heels of the high-profile scandal, Schlissel DeCorpo law firm claimed that Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren’s prenuptial agreement stipulated that after ten years of marriage, Nordegren was entitled to $20 million, an arguably meager sum for such an affluent athlete. It’s rumored, however, that in a last-ditch effort to save his marriage, Tiger offered Nordegren an immediate $5 million payment and another $55 million should she stay in the marriage until October 2011.
Nordegren, however, wasn’t having it. In the end, she walked away with a hefty $100 million. “Money doesn’t make you happy, but I have to be honest: It is making some things easier,” she later told People. “I have the opportunity to be with my children as much I want, and I am able to travel to see my family and also have them come here as often as I like.”
As far as Woods is concerned, he has always been careful to accept all of the blame for the demise of his marriage — even with the couple’s children. “I’ve taken the initiative with the kids and told them upfront, ‘Guys, the reason why we’re not in the same house, why we don’t live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes,'” he told GQ in 2015. Still, it’s reported that even after their divorce was finalized, Woods presented Nordegren with an all-new proposition.
