A Woods camp insider is telling me the golfer originally offered the 155-foot Christensen ship to ex-wife Elin Nordegren as his wedding present in 2004.

But Nordegren turned down the yacht during divorce-settlement talks with philandering Woods last summer.

“She didn’t want it because the upkeep is incredibly expensive,” the source said.

With a permanent crew of 13, Privacy costs more than $2 million a year to maintain.

Woods had the vessel sailed south to Fort Lauderdale in the fall. It was dry-docked in a yard for two months to paint the hull and re-surface the deck.

Privacy is now back at its home-port in North Palm Beach’s Old Port Cove, and Woods is shopping for a broker to list it for $25 million.

Elin Nordegren, the long-suffering ex-wife of philandering golfer Tiger Woods, plunked down $12.2 million for a house (above and below) in the exclusive enclave of Seminole Landing near North Palm Beach, Page2Live has learned.

The beachfront mansion dwarfs in size Woods‘ own new digs in Jupiter Island, about 10 miles north, also on the beach.

The 30-year-old Nordegren and the ex-couple’s two children are set to leave their Orlando area home and move into 12520 Seminole Beach Road within the next few weeks.

I’m also told Nordegren, a former nanny, has been looking at private daycare centers and schools for the two ninos for weeks.

Top Palm Beach County lawyer John Christiansen, who specializes in high-profile divorces, is now his own client.

The 66-year-old Christiansen, a 30-year courtroom veteran, filed for divorce in Palm Beach County after nearly 22 years of marriage, his third and the wife’s second.

Dr. Susan Christiansen, Susie to her friends, is a 52-year-old clinical psychologist who specializes in marriage and family issues.

She was tapped last year to star on a Real Housewives-style show filmed in Palm Beach. The pilot was filmed at philanthropist George Cloutier’s Palm Beach home but the project was shelved.

Susie has yet to respond to John’s petition.

But this much is clear: She could end up with nothing!

Hubby to pol Sharon Bock: Happy birthday, honey, here are our divorce papers!

It’s Brokenheartsville for a top Palm Beach County elected official and her neighborhood activist hubby of 14 years.

Palm Beach County Clerk and Comptroller Sharon Bock’s husband filed for divorce a couple days before her birthday last week.

He’s asking for alimony, and for Sharon to pay for his lawyer.

Health care consultant and property manager Anthony Gigliotti, 68, says in the filing that his marriage to Bock is “irretrievably broken” after the two separated.

Gigliotti also points out the superior earning ability of his wife, a lawyer by trade who earns $155,844 a year as the keeper of court records.

He also wants a family judge to order the sale of their $500,000 Palm Beach Shores home so they can share the proceeds.

Still, Gigliotti, the chairman of the Singer Island Civic Association, sounds like he’s got a warm spot in his heart for his third wife.

“This (the divorce) is very disappointing,” Gigliotti said. “You sit there and wonder how you got to this point. I’d still vote for Sharon any day. She is one of this state’s best elected officials. No one’s better at what she does.”

Bock, 57, said her and Gigliotti’s priorities have changed over the years.

“We just grew in different directions,” she said.

Bock isn’t seeking alimony.

This was Bock’s second marriage. They have no children together.

Tiger Woods pays out ex missus Elin Nordegren with $54 million-mortgage

Tiger Woods‘ secret divorce settlement may be so expensive that he had to mortgage his home to pay for it!

Official records that just popped up in Martin County hint that Woods will have to pay ex-wife Elin Nordegren $54 million by January 2016 — or risk losing the house he spent five years building.

How do I know?

The philandering club-swinger took out a $54 million mortgage Wednesday, two days after his quickie divorce was finalized in Panama City Aug. 23.

The mortgage holder, according to the records, is a shadowy company with no apparent capital, JRD Florida Ventures LLC. And the corporation’s registered agent is none other than one of his former wife’s six divorce lawyers, Dennis Belcher.

Woods, the mortgage shows, used the Jupiter Island property, Sand Turtle, to secure the loan — which means that Nordegren could end up with that Motel 6-style crib if he doesn’t pay up.

The document was notarized by Tom Sasser, Woods’ West Palm Beach-based divorce attorney.
