Tiger Woods has offered his wife, Elin Nordegren, as much as $60 million (U.S.) to stay with him for another two years, according to reports.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported on Wednesday that Woods and Nordegren agreed to immediately revisit the pre-nuptial agreement they signed upon getting married in 2004.
The original document had Nordegren reaping a relatively meagre $20 million if she remained married to Woods for a decade. Woods was already vastly wealthy when he married. His worth now hovers around $1 billion, the most ever for an athlete.
The Sun-Times report had the amount bumped "substantially."
This morning, the Daily Beast website released the numbers. According to its unnamed source, Woods agreed to immediately transfer $5 million into Nordegren's personal account.
Also, the pre-nup has been torn up and rewritten. Nordegren will now take an additional $55 million if she stays with Woods for two more years.
The presumed goal here is to preserve normalcy – both for personal and business reasons – inside the Woods household.
The couple have reportedly begun a binge of marriage-counselling sessions inside their home "several" times per day.
Woods and Nordegren remain hidden from the public eye. If Woods hoped that his online message of apology would sate the public appetite for news, that apparently is impossible.
According to the Daily Beast, paparazzi are offering $250,000 for a single picture of Nordegren with the two young Woods children, and as much as $100,000 for a tip that leads to a successful photo.
And Woods friend Jesper Parnevik has also begun what could turn in to moral pile up.
The Swedish golf pro once employed Nordegren as a nanny.
"I would be especially sad about it – I really feel sorry for Elin – since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with (Woods)," Parnevik told the Golf Channel on Wednesday. "We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her.
She also knows that Tiger can pretty much walk outside and snap his fingers and have just about any woman in the world to take her place in a minute.
Not nearly as much as finding out your husband has been sticking it to not one but multiple women, none of which are as good looking as you are.
How to turn your wife into a high paid prostitute.
There, fixed it.
He obviously doesn’t love her.....what a joke. MEN!
LOL.....
Sounds like somebody has somebody else by the balls.
Yeah, this reminds me of the "I know what you are - were just haggling over price" joke!
If I was Elin, I'd take the money, the kids and run.
sw
She'd be stupid not too. The kids will be fine.
Exactly what I was thinking. This is Kobe Bryant Part 2. Look for a new and improved rock on her finger all of a sudden.
Works out to $3,425 per hour for 24/7 for 2 years.
Even if the love is gone and the marriage is a sham, you gotta take the job for the pay.
Now want to talk about UGLY, Cheetah under oath, and his string of ‘cheap’ women????
when she turns 35, he gets to trade her in for two 18 yr-olds
And to this day, do you see Kobe doing any celebrity endorsements? I don’t.
I like that math.
"I HATE YOU. NO!"
scribble scribble scribble "How about now?"
"I HATE YOU. NO!"

"I LOVE YOU, HONEY."
Isn't love grand.
Somehow this doesn’t make much sense. She get 60 million for staying. What does she get for leaving?
well, one is on option for a year
