The wealthy are not like the rest of us. The ex-wife of professional golfer Tiger Woods had her $12.3 million oceanfront mansion in North Palm Beach, Fla. torn down this week so she can build her own dream home.

TMZ reports that Elin Nordegren has hired a high-priced architect for the job, and reportedly all of the workers building her new home are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. According to Mail Online, Nordegren told North Palm Beach town planners the mansion wasn't big enough for her.

The Palm Beach Post reports that Palm Beach County issued the permit for the home’s demolition on Dec. 16. The 17,000-square-foot home was built in 1932. It had two stories, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an in-ground pool and an elevator.

Nordegren will be living in the San Remo condominiums, by the oceanfront in Juno Beach, while awaiting construction of her new home.

According to aceshowbiz.com, Nordegren bought the property in March for $12.3 million, after she reportedly received $100 million in her divorce settlement with Woods. The 32-year old former model and mother of two is said to be dating billionaire Jamie Dingman.

Nordegren is having her new home built in the exclusive 77-acre Seminole Landing, home of the private Seminole Golf Course. Seminole was ranked the13th-best golf course in America in 2011 by Golf Digest magazine.

I will be grateful if someone could link me to Elin Nordegren. I was amazed when I heard the news of bulldozing such a great mansion.
I need just US$100,000 to establish a project in my country that will turn many lives around to help humanity. Can she please loan me this moneys and i will pay back please. Thanks Elin Nordegren.

Its good that Tiger Woods divorced her immediately otherwise she could have chopped him into pieces and killed herself later. She is a mental case. No breeding. Acting without thinking. No wonder she has done this one.

It's always easy to blow money period
Money isn't actually worth anything and ultimately cannot do the one thing you really need to do - escape from the planet of the apes!

It's always easy to blow money you haven't earned.
