Elin Nordegren Demolishes $12M Mansion; Drew Barrymore Engagement Pic

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Elin Nordegren, Tiger Wood’s ex-wife, completely demolished her post-divorce $12.3 million North Palm Beach, Florida oceanfront mansion according to the Palm Beach Post.

Nordegren, a former Swedish model and nanny, bought the house seven months after her marriage with pro-golf player imploded.

“It was a beautiful place, incredible landscaping, fantastic ocean frontage,” said local Realtor John True who was at the residence in late October for a party.

Elin, who shares custody of her two boys with Woods, initially had plans of renovating the 1932 two-story, 17, 000-square-foot mansion with an in-ground pool, elevator, and eight bathrooms but opted for a tear down instead.

“I heard that the original plan was to renovate. But once they started, I heard they decided to tear it down” added John True.

In the meantime Elin is living in the San Remo condominiums, an oceanfront development in Juno Beach while her new home is being built from the ground up. According to the Post, Tiger Woods is also building his home but on Juniper Island.

With a $100 million divorce settlement, Elin can comfortably build her dream home, and why not.

Drew Barrymore Releases Engagement Picture

In the picture, an overjoyed Drew shows off her 4-carat radiant-cut diamond ring designed by Graff. The couple began dating in February 2011 and will soon mark their one year anniversary together.

Congrats again to Will and Drew!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
