The "mansion" was a monstrosity and I would have ploughed it too if I had $100 mill and the land had something that made it worth it.

Maybe the real estate market in Florida is still good. It certainly is NOT in Southern California. It too is a victim of the sub prime lending boom (scam).

Check the carnage out here.

Yep, some just don't deserve to have more than $50 in a lifetime, when they
abuse it like that,
12 million could help allot of starving, sick, or homeless people,
But that would be a waste, when you could be bulldozing it into the ground.
Let's see how long the other 80 mill lasts

Welcome to America, the home of the "morally bankrupt' and the just "plain bankrupt".
Sickening

later thought....re hoagie..I was probably commenting more on the notion of such inequities in USA as mentioned in the listed articles and the total waste of consumer products, the demo of buildings takes place all over the world for new construction to commence which in turn starts the cycle again, re employment, distribution of wealth etc, but I still feel its such a waste, hopefully Tige's ex can build some 10 star, eco friendly mansion that will show others how to build into the future.... I'm optimistic

I think that are getting the wrong impression, last time I looked they are not making anymore beach front land. At a guess I would say the property is only land value with the house thrown in for nothing. She can spend another 10 million building a house and sell it for 25 million and make 3 mill. By bulldozing the house she hasn't wasted 12 mill.

Another side to the story....

Home donations from Tiger's ex-wife aid Habitat for Humanity

Want to buy a 12-foot-high fountain that features water coming out of three lions' mouths that was owned by Elin Nordegren, the ex-wife of Tiger Woods?

The concrete fountain -14 feet in diameter - is among the hundreds of items Nordegren donated to Habitat for Humanity in Martin County before her 17,000-square-foot mansion in Seminole Landing was torn down.

Habitat workers removed cabinets, brick driveway pavers, five sub-zero refrigerators, chandeliers, 14 vanities, controlled-temperature wine coolers called EuroCaves, dozens of doors and one gas range, said Bobbi Blodgett, the director of deconstruction for the non-profit organization that builds homes for the needy.

"What a wonderful thing for (Nordegren) to do. She could have tossed this stuff in the trash. The negative publicity toward her has been very unfair," she said.

Workers found extensive damage from termites and carpenter ants in the six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, kitchen and other areas in the two-story home with two elevators. County records show the home was built in 1932. Nordegren bought the house a year ago for $12.3 million.

"No wonder she tore the place down. The infestation was all over. You could put your fingers right through the wood," Blodgett said.

Workers were heartbroken that they had to leave about two dozen wooden Pella casement windows. The crank-out windows were riddled with bugs, Blodgett said.

"We probably could have got $125 each for those if they were in good condition," she said.

The items removed are being priced and will be sold at Habitat's warehouse on Bonita Street in Stuart. Blodgett guesses Nordegren's donations will bring in at least $30,000, which will go toward home building.

The Martin County Habitat has removed the insides of about 80 structures in recent years. Except for a hotel, Nordegren's house brought the biggest bounty, Blodgett said.

Agree - people do it all the time, buy a house for the land value, demolish, then build again...

...I'm guessing a 15min photoshop in this case though? The pic doesn't look quite right.
