Part of that fortune is a $200 million boat. It may be that she is going after Privacy and $500m in cash. Appearantly when it was being built, she oversaw the construction for him and made choices on the decor and finishes.
Not sure how she gets 75% of the assets – he did make the money afterall. I wonder if there were negotiations on her staying in December that included a full compliance with that program, which he failed to do.
I think he is scum, but still she shouldn’t be awarded that much – if a certain amount is put in trusts for the kids, that would be more understandable.
Since Tiger’s $100m a year is also probably cut by 75% this will even strain his foundation and that would be a bad thing.

if you ask me, 1/10th of what nike gives him is enough for his “foundation”.
