The only one I've actually heard of is Tiger's, and a google search only gives me some pretty wildly varying numbers. She takes 100 million out of 600, according to one source. Or she takes 250 million out of a billion dollar fortune according to another.
Isn't marriage supposed to be a partnerhsip? Taking one sixth or a quarter out of a marriage doesn't seem crazy to me, no matter how much money is involved.
Kobe and his wife apparently are not getting divorced after all.
Anyway, I've got a question for everyone. All this "whore" business got me thinking. What if it was the other way around?
Take a famous woman -- Gwen Stefani, for example. She's gotta be worth a fortune. Not Tiger-rich, but she's got a pretty big pile. She's been married for years, they've got kids, he was even kind of famous in his own right, but she obviously is the breadwinner.
So, tomorrow it comes out that all the while she's been married, she's been screwing the pool guy, the private chef, the waiter at the Hard Rock, her personal trainer, a Chippendale's dancer, and about 15 other dudes all over the country while she's on tour.
Now, it's time for a divorce. The question is, which one is the whore in this situation? Is she the whore, or is her husband?
Going by some of the "logic" we've seen in this thread, her husband is indeed the whore. He's a gold-digging whore. A bitch. He hasn't been putting out. He's been planning this all along.
In exactly the same situation, would you call the man a whore because his wife cheated on him? Of course not. Because it doesn't make sense. It's stupid.
Nobody would call the husband in this situation any of those things. If the guy happens to walk away from the divorce with 50 million dollars and the family home in Malibu, we wouldn't call him a whore or a slut. We'd probably call him "the guy who gets all the high fives".
The cheating wife would no doubt be called the whore. At least then it would make sense.
