According to a report, the ex-wife of Tiger Woods is selling her North Palm Beach home, although she got much less for the property than she was originally asking for it.
Elin Nordegren, who split from Woods in 2010, bought the property for $12.2 million in 2011. Woods, with whom she has two children, had built a mansion about 10 miles away and the divorce settlement “called for the two of them to live in close proximity so that both can be involved in their children’s education.”
The original home purchased by Nordegren was built in 1932, had eight bathrooms and a 4,700-square-foot basement in the posh Seminole Landing, as part of a “quiet community of 60 multi-million-dollar, 15,000-square-foot houses on at least one acre of land each.”
But Nordegren had most of that original home torn down and in 2014 rebuilt on the property with an 11-bedroom, 15-bathroom mansion that included features like a theater room, a wine cellar and a roof deck.
“It was a beautiful place, incredible landscaping, fantastic ocean frontage,” Realtor John True, who was at a charity event after work had begun, told the Palm Beach Post about the original home. “I heard that the original plan was to renovate. But once they started, I heard they decided to tear it down.”

According to a South Florida real estate website, the home was purchased by Russell Weiner, the founder of Rockstar Energy Drink, for $28.6 million.
That’s considerably less than the original asking price of $49.5 million set when the estate hit the market two years ago. Last year in November, the property was relisted for $44 million. Property taxes for 2019 were listed as $365,747. According to Zillow, the estate has been taken off the market.
