...and, richer too.

This may be splitting hares (hairs?), but wouldn't she be richer if she had stayed married.

Theoretically speaking, she would have retained access to 100% of Tiger's money as opposed to 50% or whatever percent she ended up with.

Heh. Either way, it would be more than she could easily spend.

Yes, that's theoretically possible. Of course, we have no idea what the actual financial dynamic was inside that home - Tiger has a reputation as a cheapskate, so we really have no clue what kind of "allowance" she was on, but I'm sure she probably didn't have want for anything.

There was a prenup, so even in his death, she may not have inherited all of it or even $100M. We'll never no for sure, unless one of them talks about it.

Lastly, the receipt of matrimonial assets in a divorce are not taxable. This is a common misconception. Whatever Elin received in the split, is hers to keep in it's entirety.

Everyone would be miserable.

Cut bait and move on to another fishing hole.

Hairs.

I don’t think she ever intended to stay married to this cash tiger. The prenups look like a lease agreement, which it may have been.

“but wouldn’t she be richer if she had stayed married.”

100 million? That’s quite enough, and she’s rid of that hound dog.

Depends on how you define "richer." Not everybody places a dollar sign on the quality of their life.
