ok.. this is lame. I'm avoiding doing anything i'm supposed to be doing and catching up on celeb gossip instead..
I'm sure you've all heard about the tiger woods stupid crap (I don't really care about that part..just the following lol)

When the couple first married in 2004, Elin signed a prenup that would award her $20 million after 10 years of marriage, but that's all about to change.

Their agreement has been revised to give her an additional $55 million in a shorter time period!! Elin will collect $80 million if she stays with Tiger for another 7 years.

wth......... like seriously, what kind of sham marriage does it have to be that when you get married you agree to stay for 10yrs to get 20mil.......... what happened to you know.. love honour cherish whatever. It's all about the cash.
stupid.
 
I agree. Its been all over our news. Doesnt help that he lives not far from us (like 45 minutes or so away). He got special treatment all the way through the whole ordeal and that is what annoyed me the most. I could care less about him having an affair though
 
I think pre-nups are a good idea, but yeah, its silly to get so much for however many years you are married.
 
Yeah- the only thing that stinks about it is they have kids. And, lots of celebs are dogs and we accept it, but don't play all-american good guy when you're really a dog and then get MAD at people for speculating and gossiping about it.

If my marriage didn't work, maybe I'd go looking for Mr. Moneybags... I mean Mr.Right#2! LOL!
 
Well I think the idea is reasonable in the first place.

It protects him from her only marrying him for a year and then trying to take his money. It protects her in that it's an improvement over "this money is mine and you can't have any" that some prenups used to have.

Amending it to be more money / shorter time is a bit wacked out, though.

From his point of view, he probably needs her to stay married to him to protect his reputation.

From hers... well I'd probably have stayed with my ex for another 7 years for some millions. I'd already been there that long for free, why not? LOL
 
I think living life in the spotlight is HARD. We get it to a very slight degree as ex-pats. I can't imagine what it would be like to run to the grocery store in sweats and have that picture show up in magazines. It would make me crazy to always have my life in the spotlight. I think people, even celebrities, should have the right to live their lives in privacy if they choose. Id be pissed off, too, if my love life was making headlines.
 
I agree with Angie, I think the original intent of that prenup is a sound way to protect a wealthy person from a golddigger, but changing the clause sounds like protecting a wealthy person's image from the media.

The fact that she took kind of makes her sound like she was a golddigger all along. If I was willing to make up with my husband after his infidelity I wouldn't need to be bribed.
 
Uck... what a power trip the celebs are on to think that they are untouchable and can cheat... he deserves to shell out money if he causes the failed marriage. As for pre-nups... I suppose if one person has a ton of money going into the marriage that he would want to protect himself especially in states where the law is 50/50... but to have $$ on the length of marriage... that is just sad.

What is the saying... first marry for love then marry for money? Or is it the other way around??
 
I heard that one of the stipulations of the new prenup is that she's not allowed to talk about any of this. He's just in big time damage control mode. lol
