Ka-ching! Mariah Carey sells her massive engagement ring — plus other celebs who made bank off their bling following a breakup.
How can you mend a broken heart? By turning a profit, darling! Mariah Carey reportedly sold the insane 35-carat, custom-designed diamond engagement ring she received from ex-fiancé (and billionaire) James Packer in 2016, pulling in $2.1 million for the bauble. Not too shabby! “Mariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity,” a rep for the diva, 49, said in a statement. “That requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend.” (See? It’s not about the money; it’s about the closure!) Mimi isn’t the first star to dump her diamond after a nasty split; ever wonder where other famous engagement rings ended up?
