$750 million for Elin's silence

Elin Nordegren's whopping $750 million divorce settlement comes with a preamble that she has to keep her mouth shut, and promise not to speak publicly about her troubled marriage to Tiger Woods and his nearly countless lovers for the rest of her life, UK's Sun daily reported.

Receiving the biggest payout ever seen in a celebrity divorce basically rules out her ever publicly speaking out about his flings with socialite Rachel Uchitel, reality star Jaimee Grubbs, porn queen Joslyn James and up to 17 others.

The price of the huge sum is her silence as the binder disallows interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life - even if Tiger dies first - or she'll lose the lot.

In return, Tiger Woods can't bring any girlfriends into his kids' lives until after he marries one of them.

Under the no-girlfriends deal, only married women who are not romantically linked to Tiger will be allowed around the children - plus female members of staff known to Elin.

Elin gets sole physical custody of their kids but they will split legal custody.
That means Tiger will share decisions about their future - so Elin will not be able to permanently relocate them to her native Sweden.
