How Tiger Woods’ Former Wife Made a Fortune After Their Divorce?
Tiger Wood’s cheating scandal and subsequent divorce from wife Elin Nordegren were two of the biggest tabloid stories of the 2000s. Some thought Nordegren was throwing away her fame and fortune by divorcing Woods. She has, however, made billions of dollars on her own. Gossip Cop investigates
Woods was caught cheating on his then-wife with nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel in 2009. Woods initially denied the affair, but allegations of another affair surfaced just a few months later. This time, the tabloids obtained a voicemail from the golfer to the woman. Woods admitted to the affair, but that wasn’t the end of the story.
The floodgates were then opened, with dozens of women claiming to have hooked up with the golfer. According to reports, up to 120 women publicly claimed to have had encounters with Woods while he was still married.
The couple divorced soon after, much to everyone’s surprise, with Nordegren walking away with a $100 million divorce settlement. Nordegren was married to Woods from 2004 to 2010, so she was there for him during his highest maximum earning years. This entitles her to a portion of the golf pro’s income.
They are now co-parenting their son and daughter in an amicable relationship. Nordegren, on the other hand, is more than just a mother. Nordegren has made a name for herself in the real estate industry in the years since her divorce.

She’s made a good living by flipping houses. Nordegren paid $1,095,000 for a 2 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom condo in Juno Beach, Florida, in 2011. Years later, she sold the condo for a profit of nearly a million dollars.
One of her most significant transactions was the purchase of an 18,000-square-foot home on a large plot of land in North Palm Beach, Florida. Nordegren ended up tearing down the house and starting over with the renovations.
The mansion had 11 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and three half-baths with retractable glass walls, a wine cellar, a gym, and a movie theatre by the time construction was completed. There was also a putting green, a guest house, and a basketball court on the property. Nordegren finally sold the house for $28.6 million.
According to some sources, Nordegren now has a net worth of $200 million as a result of her real estate expertise. It’s an incredible success story from a woman who many thought would disappear after her high-profile divorce.
