Cashing in: Elin Nordegren is to auction off $2.5 million worth of jewels given to her by ex Tiger WoodsPlenty of women are guilty of copying the women of Sex and the City.
And Elin Nordegren is set to emulate a very famous scene from the big screen version, in which a spurned women publicly humiliates her ex by staging an auction of all the jewellery he gave her during their relationship.
Tiger Woods' ex is to auction off a whopping $2.5 million worth of treasures given to her by the golfer during their five-year marriage - including her engagement ring.
The 30-year-old has chosen auction house Sotheby's to stage the sale, which will include baubles from Tiffany, Harry Winston and Cartier, according to online reports.
'It’s the ultimate act of revenge. It’s her way of saying, ‘Now do you get the message? It’s over!' a source close the mother-of-two said.
She treasured the pieces as gifts from a loving husband, but now figures they were more likely things he bought without much care to cover his guilt.'
The Swedish beauty may rake in millions from the sale, but her decision to part with the jewels certainly isn't for the money.
Miss Nordegren is said to have received a $100 million settlement from the golfer after revelations of his numerous infidelities came to light.
Betrayal: Elin has admitted to being 'blindsided' and 'embarrassed' when Tiger's multiple infidelities emerged'Money doesn't make you happy,' she told People recently. 'But I have to be honest: It is making some things easier. I have the opportunity to be with my children as much as I want.
'My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation'.
The former nanny admitted she was 'blindsided' and 'embarrassed' in an interview published after her divorce.
'I never suspected, not one,' she said. She was too busy being pregnant or looking after their two toddlers. Or - irony of ironies - immersed in studies for her degree in psychology.
'I felt stupid as more things were revealed. How could I not have known anything?
The word "betrayal" isn't strong enough,' she said, adding that she was also disappointed in those close to her (and her family) who were also in on the deceit.
