Ran into this article, and it looks like if Tiger keeps it up he will soon be the first athlete billionaire in the world:

If I remember right wasn't this the big talk "Before" Tiger turned pro, he'd be the first "B" billionaire athlete. I just read somewhere that Tiger has for the past 3 years been right around $100 million per.

You know, a million dollars here and a million dollars there, and the first thing you know, that runs into a lot of money.

Absoulutely sickening,

80-some million here, 70-some million there.....what can you actually do with that much money.


Besides get a hot sweedish supermodel?

I wonder how it feels to be worth that much one. LOL

I'm still looking for some pics, but's heres an except from newsmax.com:

[b]Tiger Woods Buys $40 Million Florida Estate

Golf superstar Tiger Woods has agreed to pay around $40 million for a 10-acre oceanfront estate in exclusive Jupiter Island, Florida.

It’s a record sale for the enclave Forbes magazine calls America’s "Most Expensive ZIP Code,” the Palm Beach Post reports.

But the top-earning athlete in the U.S. – who raked in $89.4 million last year – plans to tear down the 13-year-old main house and build a new one, Palm Beach County real estate insiders say.

"The main house is in very good condition, but I’d think that someone who paid that much would want to put their own stamp on it,” Dolly Peters, a real estate agent in the area, told the Post.

In addition to the 16,000-square-foot main house, the property – which runs from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway – includes two guest houses, a beach house and two boat docks.

Woods owns a 155-foot yacht, Privacy.

Woods also owns property near Orlando, Fla., and in Jackson, Wyo.

With that much money, he's probably close to breaking a billion already. That money doesn't just sit there, it gains interest, and LOTS of it.

Here are a couple of pics of his new house... I think he has all the sports covered... golf, baskettball, beach volleyball, tennis, fishing (private dock)... this is what a lot of millions can get you... I heard that if he were to finance the house like any regular mortal, the monthly payments on a 20 year loan would be around $165,000... a MONTH! That is more than the average house, which is around $150,000... He could probably just write a check for the whole amount... must be nice

As if a mortgage payment of $169,000 wasn't bad enough it actually would be even higher. How about a 30 year mortgage at todays rate of 6%. Try a payment of $239,820.21/ month.

[choeppner]

Better him than me. LOL I can't even fantom a payment that high. LOL
