    Tiger Woods’ ex-wife demolishes her $12 million home

    Elin Nordegren has taken at least one lesson from Rachel Uchitel: She’s now a home-wrecker too.

    Nordegren demolished the $12 million Palm Beach, Fla. home she moved into after the golfer’s serial marital infidelities were made public in 2009, TMZ reported. Apparently, she doesn’t want any remembrance of her marriage to Tiger Woods — except the $100 million settlement.

    The six bedroom, eight bathroom mansion wasn’t up to snuff, so the former model hired an architect to build her dream home in its place.

    Nordegren has a wrecking streak in her: She took to Woods’ Escalade with a golf club after she found out about his extracurricular activities, and now she’s moved up to wrecking balls.

    Who can blame her?

      Want to buy a 12-foot-high fountain that features water coming out of three lions' mouths that was owned by Elin Nordegren, the ex-wife of Tiger Woods?

      The concrete fountain -14 feet in diameter - is among the hundreds of items Nordegren donated to Habitat for Humanity in Martin County before her 17,000-square-foot mansion in Seminole Landing was torn down.

      Habitat workers removed cabinets, brick driveway pavers, five sub-zero refrigerators, chandeliers, 14 vanities, controlled-temperature wine coolers called EuroCaves, dozens of doors and one gas range, said Bobbi Blodgett, the director of deconstruction for the non-profit organization that builds homes for the needy.

      "What a wonderful thing for (Nordegren) to do. She could have tossed this stuff in the trash. The negative publicity toward her has been very unfair," she said.

      Workers found extensive damage from termites and carpenter ants in the six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, kitchen and other areas in the two-story home with two elevators. County records show the home was built in 1932. Nordegren bought the house a year ago for $12.3 million.

      "No wonder she tore the place down. The infestation was all over. You could put your fingers right through the wood," Blodgett said.

      Workers were heartbroken that they had to leave about two dozen wooden Pella casement windows. The crank-out windows were riddled with bugs, Blodgett said.

      "We probably could have got $125 each for those if they were in good condition," she said.

      The items removed are being priced and will be sold at Habitat's warehouse on Bonita Street in Stuart. Blodgett guesses Nordegren's donations will bring in at least $30,000, which will go toward home building.

      The Martin County Habitat has removed the insides of about 80 structures in recent years. Except for a hotel, Nordegren's house brought the biggest bounty, Blodgett said.

      She has a hot face and body but she was a has been model but she was bad lay and that's why Tiger divorced her in addition to her being a selfish and ignorant woman who only cares about herself and riches with what she has with no concern of the poor in this country when she could have donated most of the home and taken a tax deduction for it---how stupid is this person is this dumb blond hand her tax attorneys?-----' I guess smart enough to marry Tiger--who wouldn't?

      Nordegren wasn't a world-class woman that could handle life as a sports legend's wife. She was a simple Au-pair who doesn't know what to do with money and fame. That's why she's holed up in a mansion, holed up in her native Sweden, or building a bigger hole to hole up in. I'm sure that part of the settlement means she can't date other men until the children are grown, so she's been forced into exile.
