It's all relative, if that's half his worth and she gave up half her life for him then yeah I'd say thats fair. Nobody need $750 million dollars though.
They were married for six years. I'm uncertain what you meant by "half" one's life. Certainly not age mathematics, but in what other regard? If you meant by forgoing her modeling career to raise children, then why should half his worth be equitable? She was a model and, let's be honest, wasn't, despite any delusions in her mind, instrumental towards his career. Without her, the pinnacles of his athletic career would have still been achieved, and were achieved. In fact, his career rocketed to its highest accomplishments between
1999-2002, prior to his marriage in 2003, and his career slipped in the first few years of marriage. So, regardless of her commitment into him, equitable fairness is without merit.
If I were referee, if I were god, I would give her $2 million and let Tiger keep his billions. Although she would claim she has an "expected standard of living," the expectation cannot be justified for long-term contexts, only the short-term interim.
It's his own fault, everyone knows how marriage and divorce works, he knew what he was risking; not just his money but his family and marriage too. If he had shagged his wife instead of other women none of this would have happened.
It was his fault, I agree, but don't think for a second she didn't know, while being his girlfriend, while being his fiance, while being his wife, this would happen. With countless endless stream of women trying to ride up to his attention, in the back of her mind she knew. She also knew she would also hit the lottery windfall because of it. It takes tu tu tango. In the words of the polemic economist Michael Noer, "Wives, in truth, are superior to whøres in the economist's sense of being a good whose consumption increases as income rises—like fine wine. This may explain why prostitution is less common in wealthier countries. But the implication remains that wives and whøres are—if not exactly like Coke and Pepsi—something akin to champagne and beer. The same sort of thing."
