Elin Hires Top Lawyer for $284M Divorce

(Newser) – Elin Nordegren didn’t just get herself any old lawyer—she’s reportedly hired Hollywood's superstar divorce guru Sorrell Trope, and is gearing up to go after nearly $284 million. Trope, whose clients range from Cary Grant to Hugh Grant, specializes in “very high-asset, high-income divorces,” an expert tells the New York Daily News, and Elin likely brought him onboard to negotiate a sum on top of her prenup, in light of Tiger’ extramarital mahem.

Just how much more money? Sources tell the Mirror she plans to score half of Tiger’s fortune, or about $283.9 million, adding that she told friends, “divorce is 100% on.” Woods could recoup some of that money by taking on a new sponsor—a New York strip club offered the golfer a $1 million endorsement deal, OK! reports.

I apologize for calling you a douche bag. You might not be. And I didn't qualify that I was just guessing that you were.

JustasIthought. I almost didn't read your comment because, well look at that fucker. It took me 50 wheel scrolls just to get through it. But, I'm glad I did. I think you're exactly right on all points except for Tyson and OJ and honestly, I think you can at least understand why I might feel that way. Nice piece though, I like comments that actually go beyond the normal bullshit discussion of Tiger Woods and his harem and make sense . Good luck. Most folks around here hate it.
