4. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren
- Divorce settlement: $750 million
Let me freshen up your memory regarding Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren divorce… It all started when he shook hands with fame, being recognized as the #1 golf pro and one of the wealthiest sports stars in the entire world. Fame got to his head, and after being involved in a pretty awkward car crash, he admitted that he had numerous affairs with different women, generally being an awful husband.
His unorthodox behavior cost him a big chunk of money in a $750 million divorce settlement. And not only that, but he was forbidden from exposing his children to any of his lady friends. According to several reports, the amount of money given to Nordegren was basically “hush money” since part of their agreement was to never speak about Wood’s behavior in public.
