The Pettiest Bag: Mariah Carey Pawned This Gift From Her Billionaire Ex For Cold, Hard Cash

When life hands you lemons...

Mariah Carey apparently wants nothing to remember her ex fiance by, and also, desires a bag.

According to reports, the superstar singer pawned off the $2 million engagement ring James Packer gave her back in 2016.

The couple parted ways last year, but Carey kept the ring, which was part of their financial settlement. The ring is actually reportedly worth $10 million but Mariah only got $2.1 million out of it, states her publicist.

“Mariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity,” the publicist told TheJasmineBrand. “That requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend.”

Getting two mil out of a ring worth 10? Did Mariah fumble a bigger bag or did she flip it properly? Let us know in the comment section below.
