She probably could have sold the bits and pieces from the demolition as souvenirs and paid for the new one:

Is this the house on the ocean or is it the one in Orlando?

For the record...

...this isn't one of Tigers mansions.  Its a house she bought, 8 months after the divorce was final, that she has since razed to build something more "suitable".

The horrors i'm sure it would have been to live in the six bedroom, 8 bathroom mansion that used to be there...

Completely OT but why on earth would a 6 bedroom house need 8 bathrooms?  Was it owned by a family with personal hygiene issues?

Changing rooms out by the pool, and if the mansion is old, separate restrooms for the help.  A popular book and movie currently in the USA, The Help.

Agreed,

And rip up the ol shag carpeting and put down some tile, maybe put some new paint on the walls? Woulda been miles cheaper...

Crazy.

Seems like she's following in Tiger's footsteps, he did much the same when he purchased Stephen Garofalo's estate in Jupiter.

Checking Shack's update. The mansion was 80 years old and infested with termites and carpenter ants.

Speak for yourself.  ;) ;D

TMZ seems to have blown that one and we've had a little fun with the info, but, I don't know anyone  (I do now) who would plunk down 12m for an 80 year old wood frame house in Florida without doing an inspection beforehand. Not unless they had other plans.

Jim,

I was thinking exactly the same.  No way i'm plunking down 12 mill without knowing everything and anything about that structure and piece of land.  And if they did know beforehand, was that plot of land really worth $12 mill + cost of razing and clearing that structure?

I'm guessing this is a lame excuse they are trying to use to prevent backlash.

Kalen,

We have had (and still have, but very limited) quite a few folks come to the area where I live to buy homes with one motive, to tear them down and build what they want. They 'pay' the premium for the pre-existing construction, but the quality of the site is such that it is worth it for them as their plans are all of an ambitious nature. All the guys in the construction business love them.

I have no trouble believing that same scenario existed in this case, but I'm guessing the same thing as you.
