The Untold Truth Of Tiger Woods Billion Dollar Life

Golf icon Tiger Woods is officially a billionaire, just recently becoming only the third billionaire athlete alongside Lakers superstar LeBron James and NBA legend Michael Jordan. That's some good company. According to Forbes, Woods has a net worth of at least $1 billion. During the prime of his career, he held the top spot in Forbes' highest paid athletes for 10 consecutive years until 2012. He has won $121 million in prize money more than any other pro golfer in history. The fact that this billion-dollar milestone was achieved without taking a lucrative 9-digit contract to compete in the controversial Saudi-backed Life Golf Tour is even more impressive. When you're one of the highest paid athletes of all time and have won just about everything when it comes to golf, of course you have multiple mansions. This one with a golf course on the property just in case Tiger needs to get some practice time in Jupiter Island, Florida. Tiger built his 12-acre property from scratch. It is estimated that this project costs $55 million to complete. When Tiger purchased the property in 2006, it already had a pretty extravagant house residing there but he had it torn down.

The property consists of two sections, a three 300-square-foot living quarters and a six 400-square-foot multi-purpose building.

He can also watch movies in his private cinema or play games in his basement games room. As his divorce from Ellen Nordren was being finished in 2010, he built the lavish house. Jupiter Island is home to just over 900 residents, making it one of the area's most exclusive neighborhoods. Tiger also owns a private island on Lake Milleran equipped with a private harbor open yard and even six golf tees. As a private getaway, the island is ideal with its own key and private ferry boat for access. It is located in a secluded area surrounded by water. The 25,000 square meter ultra-secluded location includes a luxury villa, a lawn that's plenty big for a golf club that comes with 16 grounds, a hunting cottage, a pool, hot tubs, stables, a private harbor, and plenty of untouched woods. You can either get here by boat or small plane. And yes, the property also comes with its own landing strip. While the property is isolated from the outside world, it is not exactly far from civilization.

The home was constructed with locally sourced wood and the property even has an 11th century Viking strongholds, adding a touch of historical charm and it's all yours for 45 million kroner or the equivalent of 5.6 million dollars.

In 3.4 seconds, he can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour and reach speeds of 200 miles per hour. Tiger of course owns multiple cars but one of note is his 50,000 dollars Porsche Carrera GT made from carbon fiber and can reach speeds up to 205 miles per hour.

Tiger's yacht is large enough to fit a bunch of smaller crafts to keep him occupied as well as two motorized scooters, two ocean kayaks, and three jet skis are among them.
