She got 100 million bucks in the divorce. Then she buys a 12 million dollar mansion...and has it torn down! I get it that she liked the view but not the house, but come on, that is so wasteful. She didn't even donate any of the fixtures (kitchen cabinets, appliance, even toilets and sinks, etc) to charities like Habitat for Humanity. I'm sure there are places that could have taken the stuff that she just had destroyed. So wasteful. Let me get off my soap box now! sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/tiger-woods-ex-wife-bulldozes-12-million-home-232405259.html

Some people just don't get it and have too much money for their own good. Who needs a house that size in the first place? And, yeah. She could have donated the stuff to charity.
If I were a millionaire, most people wouldn't even know it. I wouldn't live like one.

Same here Dave, but the ish I'd own... I'd need a second apartment for all of it.

So wasteful. Let me get off my soap box now! i totally agree with what you are saying ldg. a bloke i used to work for thinks nothing of throwing perfectley good items away. i was at his house just before christmas and he was throwing away a 15 inch lvd tv. needless to say, i took it home with me in the hope that someone could one day make use of it. last night i give it to a friend to use as a pc montior.

With as many people in the world suffering in poverty, it would have been nice for her to at least have a thought about some of them and donate the stuff. I guess the rich just forget about the less fortunate and just assume everyone is as well off as them. That's a shame.
And good on you Lee. I'm sure your friend appreciated that a lot.

Good show, Lee. The right thing to do. You should have told him to let you riffle through all the stuff he wants to chuck, get first dibs on the good stuff and make sure people who need it get it.
My coworker just upgraded his computer monitor, and he has a 15 inch flatscreen that still works fine and was going to just get rid of it. I convinced him to donate it to Good Will so someone could at least get some good use out of it for a few more years. I might check my old tower out, see if I can reinstall the OS and wipe out the viruses. And if I don't need it, give it to the SA or GW myself.

I have a ton of good stuff that I consider crap that may benefit someone. Barely used 17 inch CRT monitor and clothes, plus a bunch of books. We have SA receptacles scattered around the area, so the clothes are no problem. Guess I'd have to drive to the SA for the monitor.
But, it get's it out of here and someone else get's to use it. So, no biggie.

The SA does do pickups if you have enough stuff for them. My Aunt is having one come buy to pick up several boxes of books.

If I had a million dollars I would buy a nice cigar and use a 100 dollar bill to light it.

Okay, after reading about 5 or 6 different articles about her tearing down that mansion (and NONE of them saying anything at all about her donating parts of it to charity) I found an article today that says she DID donate to Habitat for Humanity. And apparently the house had to be torn down because it had a lot of termite damage. That is so strange that the previous owners were wealthy enough to own a mansion, but apparently they couldn't afford to call Terminex! sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/why-did-tiger-woods-ex-wife-level-12-171330450.html

Rich people don't think about exterminators, they hire people to think about that for them. Must have had bad help.
Don't hate her as much now.

Why call an exterminator when you can just buy a whole new house? Ridiculous.
