There are times when divorce forces people to do strange things. Burn sheets. Throw out clothes. Toss rings into the ocean. But when you get $100 million in your divorce, you can trump just about anything and that's what happened with Tiger Woods' ex-wife when she bought a $12 million home and bulldozed the whole thing.
Yes, according to TMZ, Elin Nordegren bought a $12 million home in North Palm Beach, Fla., but didn't like it, and has plowed the whole thing.
The house, which had six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, is now just rubble, with no word yet on what is going to replace the beautiful building you see above, but I guess when you have nine figures in the bank, it doesn't really matter what you want.
I guess we can all applaud Elin on not rolling over after all this happened and continuing on with her life. But I think we can all agree on one thing: Why in the world is she still in Florida? Wouldn't you want to move back home for good?

Wow.

[goldenpp72]

Jesus christ, that looks like a beautiful place

[NomarTyme]

Fucking rich people.

 

[Barrett2]

So your thread title is a lie? She demolished a house she bought, which is very common. She didn't *build* a house then have it demolished.

I mean, goddamn, the article itself was only a few sentences. You couldn't even read that?

 

[Steelrain]

Like a Boss.

Goddamn thats crazy.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Whats 12 million to a muhfuckaa like her? Can you please remind me?

 

[El Sloth]

So many charities are pulling their hairs out right now.

 

[Nesotenso]

I thought she bought it and then demolished it ? Quoted article says so.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

Why not just sell it, unless the location is the most important part?

 

[J2d]

But I think we can all agree on one thing: Why in the world is she still in Florida? Wouldn't you want to move back home for good?

Where is "home" supposed to be, Sweden? That can't be a real option.

This is why awarding shit to people who don't earn shit is bullshit, because they don't know how to fucking take care of shit.

 

[BananaBomb]

im sure most of the 12 million was for the land anyway

 

[Smokey]

America yall

 

[Arment]

Out of touch rich people. *Sigh*

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Why not just sell it, unless the location is the most important part?

Yes.

Title is slightly misleading. She didn't build it and then tear it down. She bought it and tore it down, which is much more sensible. She probably just wants the property.

changed from builds to buys, result is the same

 

[Amir0x]

maybe it wasn't so bad that Tiger cheated on her. Anyone who can build a 12 million dollar home and be displeased with it to such a level as to demolish it is probably literal hell to be around

 

[ElectricBlue187]

She's stimulating the local economy guys. Letting that alimony trickle down to the proles for a change

 

[DR3AM]

we should tell people what they should with their money

 

[mingus]

Came here to rage but buying it for $12 million to demolish and build something else is pretty reasonable.

 

[SapientWolf]

I don't see that many houses with more bathrooms than bedrooms. I guess the owner had different priorities.

 

[Ferrio]

Same.

I don't know if you're trying to be cute, but that's actually what's happening here. Money will go to people working on her new house, instead of it just sitting in stocks and various holdings.

 

[soul creator]

...plowed the whole thing.

Just like Tiger with his mistresses, amirite?

 

[wenis]

I don't think it's a nice looking place either.

 

[Clegg]

I'm really not seeing the problem with this.

She's most likely going to have a new house built on the land she purchased.

Theres no reason for an over-reaction in this case. She can do what she wants as its her money and her property.

I disagree, already-built houses should stand as they are until the end of time

 

[mj1108]

No, she plowed it.

Like Tiger did his mistress.

Thread title is misleading. It says she bought it, not that she built it.

No. State. Income. Tax.

No, she plowed it.

Eh. It's creating jobs.

 

[SUPREME1]

1%

 

[Meadows]

There must be more too this than what is in the article.

 

[NervousXtian]

So really, what this is about is she bought the property to build the house she wanted.

She's rich, whatever.. but not a smart financial move at all.

 

[Wazzim]

It's her constitutional right.

 

[Emwitus]

Thats ugly, good deal ex wife.

 

[CrocMother]

Let the bitch demolish another one, she is providing badly needed construction jobs.

 

[Ferrio]

There must be more too this than what is in the article.

Why should there be? It's non-news.

 

[Dhx]

There must be more too this than what is in the article.

The more is the land is probably 75 percent of the purchase value. People buy land and demolish/rebuild all the time. If you want to build in a place like this, there are no other options. Vacant lots do not exist.

What a strange and hasty conclusion. Anyway, she didn't build it, she bought it built (read the OP) and probably knocked it down to build something else or better. I'd be more angry but for the fact that a lot of people will have jobs because of her move.

 

[TheNatural]

Tiger Woods bought her, didn't like her, so plowed every other woman.

 

[Satch]

sooo what's wrong with what she did

 

[ssolitare]

Why she want that land so much? Doesn't seem that great.

 

[Vivalaraza]

She's making jobs.

Good for her.

 

[commedieu]

sooo what's wrong with what she did

usual gaf MO

 

[cartoon_soldier]

sooo what's wrong with what she did

People just trying to justify Tiger's actions in some way.
