1.Tiger Woods cheated on his then-wife Elin Nordegren. The divorce settlement ended up costing him $750 million. That’s a lot of Gatorade.

2.Captain Edward Smith steered the Titanic into an iceberg, sinking the $7.5 million ship. Most devastatingly, many lives were lost.

3.NASA used the metric system to build an orbiter, while Lockheed Systems used the English system. Data couldn’t be transferred, and a $125 million orbiter was lost in space forever.

4.A hunter lit a signal flare, triggering the biggest fire in California history. 300,000 acres destroyed, 2,322 homes lost and 14 people killed. Cost: $1.2 billion.

5.A chamber filled with water used to cool uranium at Three Mile Island, malfunctioned and burst, in the worst nuclear accident in America. Cost: $836.9 million in 1978 (about $2.8b today).

6.5. Immediately on takeoff, faulty equipment doomed a B-2 stealth bomber. America’s most expensive plane at $1.2 billion crashed and was destroyed. Again, $1.2 billion.

7. A BP oil rig (Deepwater Horizon) burst and almost 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the gulf, the largest spill in history. It cost BP nearly $40 billion.

8.In England, an elderly lady won the $181 million Euromillions lottery. Except her husband threw the ticket away. It’s the only time a wife has wished her husband didn’t take out the trash..

9.Regulators turn a blind eye to warnings that a tsunami would destroy the Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan. A tsunami struck in 2011, killing over 15,000 and costing $12 billion to shut down the plant..

$100 mil is still a huge sum of money to lose in that manner bro. Marriage in the USA is a business venture for some women over there. If same is applicable here, omo
