Making it Rain on These Hoes: Tiger Woods is Officially a Member of the Billionaire Boys Club
Posted by Bossip Staff
According to previous reports, Tiger Woods was set to be the first billionaire athlete by 2010, well…it seems like he has already hit that mark in 2009:
Tiger Woods had two reasons to celebrate his victory at the FedEx Cup in Atlanta. Not only did he earn another trophy, he set another record as well, becoming the first athlete to top $1 billion in career earnings, according to Forbes magazine. “Tiger’s earnings power is really unprecedented,” Forbes writer Kurt Badenhausen told CBS News Correspondent Terrell Brown. Since bursting onto the PGA tour in 1996, Woods has dominated golf, winning 92 tournaments. And sponsors have been eager to attach his name to their brands. “It’s an extremely wealthy demographic that is going out and wants to spend money on equipment, on golf balls, on apparel,” Badenhausen explains. Woods is or has been in ad campaigns for cars, golf clubs, even razors. He is, observes Brown, “a walking, talking money-making machine. You might as well call him ‘Tiger, Inc.’” Forbes says Woods has racked up $125 million in prize money and some $890 million from endorsements. Nike is by far his biggest sponsor, paying Woods more than $30 million dollars a year. “He makes more than $100 million a year,” Badenhausen points out. “The next wealthiest athletes make in the neighborhood of $40, $45 million a year.”
Damn, that’s that loooonnnnng paper right there. Good look, Tiger.

Yep, but not for long, that Woods family line will be all white in 25 years, because, I can only bet, that his children, will marry white,, and the black linage will be long gone, as time goes by.. That being said,, do I care,, Nope
I’m surprised noone’s called him a devil worshiper yet. Isn’t that how it goes? You do good then they label you for being a member of Satan’s fan club. lol. Good job Tiger. Cats from the suburbs get money too. lol
Congrats.. but I thought he was already a billionaire yrs ago?? hmp. thats wonderful.
Not one dime will be spent on or in the black community so wh do we care, Besdes black people need to respect Tiger and quit trying to claim him black,,When he has made his choice,. OJ Jr. Az long as he don’t mess up with his wife he’s okay, If he do he will be back wanting to be black.
@TheNewGuy
Lol, that’s pretty funny.
@Nanette
All he said was that he was a mix of ethnicities, he didn’t want to be defined by one race, he wanted to represent all three races that he was descended from.
@Moreaces – Cowboys are King
It takes a few generations
Anyway, I thought Michael Schumacker(sp?0, the Formula 1 racing driver got there first? Anyway congratulations Tiger, let me know if you need any help spending it.
You go Tiger! It is nice seeing a brother or half brother becoming a billionaire.
so whos the next athlete to reach that milestone? Lebron? Kobe?
GOOD FOR HIM
HELL YEAH!!!! THAI’s and American’s can Stand Up!
Anyways….
Good for him.
Darn I should of played golf from childhood. I also should have been a placekicker in the NFL. The two easiest jobs in the world.
I heard there’s good opportunities in golf. Good for Tiger

It always amazes me when someone like Tiger makes it big and people decide that want to comment on how he doesn’t do anything for the Black community.Tiger is Black man who achieved success in a sport which has been the domain of wealthy White Men for Decades. He did with style,grace and dignity. Her did it without having multiple children out of wedlock or any run ins with the law. He did it without making an ***** out of himself and wasting his money on flashy bull*****. He designed a blueprint for young Black athletes to follow and he did it without trying to rap or appear in movies or a weak ***** reality show. He also did it without the support of the Black Community. How many people in the Black Community own Air Jordans? How many own anything endorsed by Tiger? Not too many,but still now that he’s made a BILLION,some of you want to slap that “He won’t spend it in the black community” bull*****. Spend it on what? On who? I’m willing to bet that very few people who even post to this site ever watch Tiger or any other golfer play. But now that the check came in you want to comment.Grow up! Instead of *****ing about who he married,you should have had his back from the beginning when he was on the way up,but most of you were too busy falling all over *****holes like Allen Iverson because he “kept it real”. Cornrows,prison tats,flashy jewelry and Bentleys had your attention,meanwhile Tiger was busy staying on his grind,keeping a low profile and am*****ed a BILLION and he’s not even close to done.
@Nanette
Please research and read about Tiger Woods before you make such ignorant comments. Tiger supports many charities in the black community including camps in Orlando to bring more minorities into the golfing industry. He was also involved in the Obama campaign.
I recently went to a Thai restaurant in Miami where they had an entire wall dedicated to Tiger Woods. The owners claimed him as one of their own. It was funny to see.
Ok Tiger, whatever!!!
HOW TIGER WOODS BECAME RICH!!!
JENNIFER HUDSON KILLED HER FAMILY!
THE GOVERNMENT BLEW UP THE TOWERS AND LEVIES IN NEW ORLEANS!!

Not sure what his race has to do with it. Doesn’t matter what the ***** claims himself to be, WE know,and further, THEY know. lol….
I still remember when Fuzzy Zoeller said the ***** was gonna have chicken and watermelon @ his dinner…
Anywho, Good for him! Go Tiger…

@ MasterMk,
Tiger is 1/2 *****, he just denies the ***** out of it!
When Tiger himself denied his own race on Oprah, the black community looked past him. The funny thing is that his daughters will grow up and marry BLACK men just like thier momma.
Damn. Come over here Mr. Wood$. I know you like big booty$

GET ‘EM TIGER!!!
I dont give a rats ***** about this *****sucker!
@ 6am

The above is the most intelligent post I’ve read in a very long time on the net. Many black people become rich but not wealthy because they waste it all on worthless crap like diamond watches, Bentleys, e.t.c. In 5 years time what will soulja boy have?? Property or a worthless broken 100inch plasma???
GO TIGER WOODS!!

Applause! Well said. Tiger is a beast though (no pun intended).
Michael Jordan is next in line. He is worth $800m according to Forbes.
@Tiger Woods/Its6amHoGetOut
DEAD! ;-D
BTW…earning a billion is impressive.Having a billion sitting around liquid is BAD*****.
Tiger Woods has helped more poor, black children receive after school tutoring in math and science than anyone else in the Black community. The NBA ballers don’t do anything, neither does the footballers. Tiger is half Asian and he has every right to respect his Thai mother he is an upstanding, intelligent young man because his strong, black father raised him that way. No flash, guns, violence, stupidity…just cl*****. He is a Blasian and he is proud of that fact.
@Tiger Woods/Its6amHoGetOut
- LOL!! toooo funny….
@Wreckless Driver
- You an’t said nutin but the TRUTH!! Thanks!!
@African Americans on Bossip
- WAKE THE F*CK UP!!!
You have to like Tiger. I agree with you wreckless driver. And who cares what race he is. He donates to charities, he is a good role model in front of the camera.
***** him. Hes an asian. Real *****s don’t save no money. Too much Gucci to buy. Old dockers wearing muh*****ah!!
Good now that white girl can take all his damn money!
YEAH!
@Wreckless Driver- AMEN!!!!! This post so far has only 49 responses and I think that is really sad. Had it been Jay-Z, Weezy, 50 cent and all the other ignorant senseless clowns out there, making that kind of then there wsould have been at lest 300 bpost giving accolade for folks weho have done ( and some who keep doing ) all kinds of wrong to make money. When it is someone who isn’t selling their soul, *****, momma,comunity and reputation then these are the ones that get all the glory. No wonder our children make the wrong choices in their lives as long as they have parents who praise and give credit to the wrong ones.
Bet his Swedish nanny wifey is happy

WHITE WOMEN REALLY KNOW HOW TO HIT THE JACKPOT. SHE WAS A NANNY AND NOW A BILLION-YEAR SHE IS SET FOR LIFE. BLACK MEN REALLY KNOW HOW TO PUT THEIR MONEY BACK INTO WHITE WOMEN HANDS. TIGER WOODS BETTER PRAY HE NEVER MESS UP BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT….. TO WHITE PEOPLE YOUR ***** WILL ALWAYS BE A BLACK MAN EVEN IF UR HALF BREED.
White people look at Tiger as a cl*****y guy. If he was tatted up, had bling in his ears and a big ***** chain, and couldn’t speak properly, then he might be looked at differently.
