New Delhi: In one of the biggest payouts ever seen in a celebrity divorce, Tiger Woods will give his wife USD 750 million (Rs 3500 crore) in a divorce deal that also includes him agreeing to bring a new flame into their lives and that of their children only if he has married her.
According to the British tabloid, The Sun, Woods' wife Elin Nordegren in return for the payout will "never publicly speak out over his flings with socialite Rachel Uchitel, reality star Jaimee Grubbs, porn queen Josyln James and up to 17 others, who will work out costing him USD 37 million each".
The paper quoted a family associate as saying that while Elin was "desperate to protect the children from the womanising side of their father, Tiger's main fear is her telling her story after he's rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter."
According to the deal, Elin will keep their main home in Windermere, Florida, and a nearby property, plus an apartment in Stockholm and her island farmhouse nearby.
Woods will keep the USD 75 million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida, where they had been building a new mansion. He will also keep their £2million apartment in Los Angeles, when the six-year marriage officially ends.
Elin also gets sole physical custody of their kids but they will split legal custody. That means Tiger will share decisions about their future - so Elin will not be able to permanently relocate them to her native Sweden. Woods can also renegotiate the custody agreement in five years, the paper reported.
The Forbes' SportsMoney column, however, has countered The Sun's report and argued that Woods' divorce couldn't cost him USD 750 million, because he doesn't have that much money.
Forbes says that by its math, the golfer's net worth is USD 600 million.
All speculation, however, is expected to end next week when Elin files for divorce at Orlando County court. "She expects to in the next seven days," is what the friend told The Sun.
