Thought of the day 7/1/2010

On the way to work today I heard some of the alleged provisions of
Tiger Woods divorce. They included Elin not mentioning any details of
Tiger's affairs through books, movies talkshows, etc. This includes
after Tiger Woods is gone (passed away). The divorce also states that
none of Tiger's girlfriends can have any contact with the children,
unless they are married to Tiger. The divorce also includes an
estimated $750 MILLION DOLLARS. A dollar amount of that magnitude is
very hard to comprehend. The following figures should help show how
much money this really is.

- The average price of gas in the U.S on 6/28/10 was $2.75 a gallon.
Elin can buy around 273 million gallons of gas
- A decent set of golf clubs would run around $1,000. Elin could
purchase about 750 thousand sets.
- A 2010 fully loaded Cadillac Escalade runs around $75,000. She could
buy 10,000 Escalades.
- Assuming the average green fees are around $50 for a public course,
Elin could play 15 million rounds of golf.

It is very difficult to comprehend how much money this really is.
Tiger's net worth is right around $1 billion. This divorce payout will
take a significant amount of his assets.

Fun Fact - On July 1st,1982 Cal Ripken played in his first game.
