The Money Tough Celebrity Divorce of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren

Famous golf athlete Tiger Woods divorce from Elin Nordegren ended with Tiger paying Elin $100 million. Plus, Elin gets custody of their two kids and child support. Do you remember how upset Donald Trump was when he had to pay Ivana $10 million in when their marriage broke up? Tiger Woods is probably on suicide watch after dishing out $100 million. This goes to show you that cheaters never prosper.

Tiger Wood's marital problems started when his mistress network became public. Elin tried to make the marriage work, but there were just too many mistresses. Every other day a new Tiger Wood's mistress popped out like frogs leaping from a polluted pond saying, "I slept with him, too." Tiger and Elin got married in October 2004 and the divorce became final in August 2010.

The Publicly Rough and Tough Celebrity Divorce of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James

After five years of marriage, Sandra Bullock left Jesse James over infidelity issues in early 2010. Michelle "Bombshell" McGee exposed her affair with Jesse James in a Touch magazine interview. If this wasn't bad enough three more women came forward to form the Jesse James's Mistress Club. Granted, Jesse's girls doesn't out number Tiger's harem, but one concubine was enough to make Sandra pack it in.

Jesse James had three children from previous relationships. Sandra and Jesse was in the middle of adopting Louis Bardo Bullock when the infidelity scandal hit the fan.

The Bullock and James divorce was final in June 2010. Sandra currently has custody of Louis. According to People Magazine, it is unclear if their was a prenuptial agreement, but Jesse is not entitled to spouse support because Texas law states that a spouse has to be married for 10 years to qualify for support.

Shocking Celebrity Divorce of Al and Tipper Gore

What the heck? Two weeks after celebrating their 40-year wedding anniversary, the Gores called it quits. The reason? They grew apart. Why bother after 40 years of marriage? Just stick it out and grow back into each other. There are no confirmed reports of infidelity from either party. The Gores were married in 1970 and they have four grown children. Al Gore was the Vice President of the United States and now is a current activist for climate control. Al and Tipper's separation announcement hit the news in June 2010.

Stuck Without a Prenup Celebrity Divorce of Kelsey and Camille Grammer

Kelsey and Camille called it quits in the summer of 2010 after 13 years of marriage. What's really shocking is that Frasier doesn't have a legitimate prenup. However, Fraiser doesn't seem to be sweating it judging from an on the street interview he did for RadarOnline.com. A reporter got a shot of Kelsey and his new pregnant girlfriend, Kayte Walsh, walking to a jewelry store. He is the father of Walsh's unborn child. This will make kid number five for Grammer. He has two kids with Camille and two other children from previous marriages.

Sources from TMZ.com said that it was apparent that the marriage was in trouble when Kelsey left Camille and the kids to live in New York to star in La Cage Aux Folles on Broadway. The final nail hit the coffin when Grammer stayed in NYC on Father's Day and didn't bother to call Camille or the kids. Sources say that Kelsey made it clear that he didn't want anything to do with the marriage anymore and poor Camille never saw it coming.

The Rough and Tough Limbo Divorce of Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller

After only two years of marriage real estate investor Brooke Mueller and actor Charlie Sheen are separated and started divorce proceedings in early August. The fate of the marriage has been in limbo for months. The reason they are divorcing? It could have been that pesky domestic violence dispute in 2009 on Christmas Day. Or it could have been that Charlie hasn't gotten drugs and hookers out of his system. Or he is just Charlie Sheen. Who knows?

A few months ago, both spouses hired attorneys to help them prepare for a divorce. Now that the criminal case in Aspen is over, Brooke and Charlie have decided to proceed. Brooke and Charlie have twin boys. Sheen has three daughters from previous marriages. Brooke will receive $55,000 a month child support. She waived spousal support, but Brooke still gets fries on the side. Mueller will get a 50% cut on the baby pictures that were sold to Getty Images and a one-time payout of $758,000. Not bad for a two year marriage, Brooke.
