I wonder how many of the female posters here claiming that, say, only $40 million is not fair and it is only right that Elin should receive half of Tiger’s fortune in a divorce settlement would feel the same way if a woman’s fortune were at stake?

Take my hypothetical example with the billionaire Oprah.

Say Stedman marries her for a few years followed by the inevitable divorce, and it turns out that Oprah was cheating on him.

Should Stedman in those circumstances receive half of Oprah’s earnings? Say, half a billion dollars should go to Stedman for a few years of marriage?

Or would we be hearing from these posters how Oprah earned all that money herself, Stedman had very little to do it, how unfair for him to take so much of her money, etc.?

Good points!

If Stedman had delivered, by natural childbirth, several minor children during the duration of the marriage; taken care of all domestic challenges, entertained her business associates; put his own career on hold and attended to all her demands. Remained faithful and had no adulterous liasons.

Damn straight!!!!!!

It depends on the circumstances. Maybe if it were one woman - then you may be able to work through the marriage and if not, then she would be entitled to a “fair” amount. What Tiger did was reckless, selfish, dangerous behavior unbecoming of a world class golf pro. That was some really sleezy behavior. As a wife and mother, I am trying to put myself in Elin’s shoes and what Tiger did is unforgivable and irreparable. IMO
