Mike Tyson managed to piss away $400 million or so.

More likely his investments went sour in the down economy and he can’t cover.

Is Tiger Woods running out of money?

Is the ocean running out of water?

Tiger is just a Charlie Sheen wannabe.

As Tiger's revenues have declined, his expenses have only climbed. To begin with, there's the reported $100 million divorce settlement. And last August, Woods took out a $54.5 million mortgage on his home in Jupiter Island, Florida. According to the public document, Woods is required to pay off the mortgage in full by January of 2016, giving him a mere five and a half years to shed the debt. He's therefore paying more than $10 million each year, including his $431,042 in annual property taxes.

That 2010 property tax information comes from the district offices of Martin County, FL, where the home Woods now occupies alone is located. The property, which Woods purchased in 2006 for $44.5 million, is valued at around $47 million (the county values the house at $26.48 million, the land at $20.5 million). His 2010 improvements to the dwelling and the property cost him $6 million, including three separate residential pools, a tennis court, a golf green with a few holes, an elevator, and a 14,736-square foot improvement to the interior of the house -- evidence that Woods is not used to living cheaply. But the pace of his home improvements has slowed, according to online records of the county appraiser's office. So far there have been none in 2011.

It sounds like Tiger's going to need a bailout.

Yikes. He pays more in property taxes in ONE WEEK than I pay in 18 months.

I like my life just fine.

To fix up his financial short game, Tiger Woods is going to have to start making money again the old-fashioned way: by playing the sport he's known for.

With a messed up knee, messed up head, and a bunch of young, very talented competition who aren't the least bit intimidated by him now on tour, that scenario is unlikely.

I consider him among the top 5 of all time. Best long iron player ever. Top 3 putter. Number 1 in mental toughness. If his knee gives him a chance he’ll be competitive, for sure. He’s made mistakes, so have I. I wish him well.

Best thing he could have said when his troubles came to light,,,,’’You all have enjoyed kissing Bill Clintons’ butt for 20 plus years, you can just kiss mine for the next 40 years.’’ It would have made him money.

It reminds me of Tom Selleck in the flick “Mr. Baseball” doing commercials for a Japanese energy drink: “BIG HIT - HAPPY BODY!”

What is it about sports hero’s?

They earn lots of money, blow it all, and live on the cheap for the rest of their lives.

George Foreman built a second life on his grill:

Maybe Woods can develop a new pants fly opener!

Woods took out a $54.5 million mortgage on his home

Warren Buffett or the late Sam Walton would not be too impressed.
