The Rich Get Richer

The Tiger Woods saga certainly has many facets:

1. Elin and the kids may or may not have moved out of one multi-million dollar mansion in the exclusive Isleworth community to another multi-million dollar mansion on the other side of the same community. Nothing like having a spare mansion for situations like this. Way to plan ahead, Tiger!

2. Tiger and Elin's current pre-nuptial agreement gives Elin a cool $20 million if they remain married for ten years. That's nearly $6,000 per day. Of course, the original pre-nup is currently being re-negotiated. $6,000 doesn't buy what it used to.

3. The only endorsement cancelled so far is one for a sports drink called "Tiger's Focus". Gatorade stated that they were planning to ditch the drink even before the recent scandal due to poor sales. It's hard to believe that golfers would pass up the traditional vodka, gin, and beer to improve focus on that big putt. After all, golfers lose valuable electrolytes riding around on a cart and rising every minute or so to strike those oh-so-heavy balls.

4. It's a subtle point, but the Cadillac Escalade that Tiger cracked up on Thanksgiving night was apparently just one of a small fleet of luxury cars that General Motors owns and gave to Tiger for his use. General Motors sheds thousands of jobs but figures that Joe the Plumber will want to drive a Buick because Tiger Woods does. This makes as much sense as General Electric providing fresh flowers every day for former CEO Jack Welch's luxury NYC apartment just in case a potential customer might drop in.

The rich get richer (and better perks)!
