Price for Cheating — $5,000,000

According to Nick Allen, Tiger Woods ‘offered wife Elin $5m after transgressions’, Telegraph, Dec. 3, 2009, professional golfer Tiger Woods has offered his wife, Elin Nordegren, $5 million if she will remain married to him.

This may be a cheap offer seeing as reports indicate that she would receive $20 million if she stuck with Tiger until 2014 under an existing pre-nuptial agreement.  There are also reports that as part of $5 million payoff, a new marital agreement will give her $40 million as long as she stays married to him until 2011.
