Elin Nordegren | $200 million

Widely known as the former wife of the professional golfer, Tiger Woods, Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren has both worked as a nanny and a model. She was hired as a nanny for the children of Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik after meeting Mia Parnevik while working a job in a Stockholm clothing store. It was then when she was introduced to Tiger Woods during the Open Championship in 2001. Woods and Nordegren eventually got married in October 2004 in Barbados.

Even after breaking up with one of the highest-paid athletes in the world and hiring a divorce lawyer, she still has so much in her. She has a total net worth of $200 million, which is probably from her divorce settlement of $750 million. Though she only received $100 million, or 20% of what Woods was worth, it was more than what Woods was worth at the time.
