Break ups are never easy, but when you can make a bit of a profit theyโ€™re not so bad, right?

Well thatโ€™s just what Grammy winner and diva extraordinaire Mariah Carey has done as sheโ€™s sold the 35 carat engagement ring (worth a whopping $10 million) that was part of the financial settlement made in 2017 following her split from Australian billionaire, James Packer.

Speaking to Page Six, Mariahโ€™s publicist said, โ€œMariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity. โ€œThat requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend.โ€

Bling on the break up!

And to top it all off, the ring was sold for US$2.1 (AUD$2.8 million) to an LA based jeweller, a mere fraction of what itโ€™s worth! Well, thatโ€™s probably more than any of our jewellery is worth so we guess sheโ€™ll manage.

Mariah and James (Packey? Jariah?) became engaged back in January 2016 and the All I Want For Christmas Is You singer joked that โ€œitโ€™s so heavy I canโ€™t lift my arm up.โ€ Talk about first world problems.

Their whirlwind 18 month romance came to a grinding halt in October 2016 with claims that Packer wasnโ€™t ready for a relationship and that he had doubts about Mimiโ€™s short-lived reality show, Mariahโ€™s World.

Speaking to The Australian in October last year about the split, Packer said, โ€œI was at a low point in my personal life. She was kind, exciting and fun. Mariah is a woman of substance. But it was a mistake for her and a mistake for me.โ€
