Mariah Carey Sells Ex-Fiancé James Packer's $13.2 Million Engagement Ring

It's been over five years since Mariah Carey and billionaire businessman James Packer called off their engagement, but it seems that the singer has finally let go of the past. According to reports, Mariah has sold the 35-carat diamond engagement ring worth a staggering $13.2 million that James proposed to her with in 2016.

The news comes as no surprise to those who have been following Mariah's recent statements about moving forward and surrounding herself with positivity. In an interview with The Australian newspaper, James described his relationship with Mariah as a 'mistake', and it seems that she has taken his words to heart.

Mariah got engaged to James in January 2016 after a brief romance, but the couple separated just nine months later. Sources close to the singer have revealed that her public relations team has been working hard to keep the story of the ring's sale out of the press, and they've even threatened litigation if anyone discloses Mariah's name.

Despite the secrecy surrounding the sale, an insider claims that a confidentiality agreement was signed, meaning that full details of the engagement ring's sale may never be confirmed. The LA jeweller who purchased the ring reportedly paid $2.78 million for it, which is significantly less than its original value.

Mariah's publicist has released a statement saying that the singer has been 'very vocal' about her decision to move forward in life surrounded by positivity, and this sale seems to be a step in that direction. The 48-year-old American singer and songwriter appears to have finally left emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend.

It's clear that Mariah is moving on from the past and focusing on her future, and we can't help but admire her for it. As she embarks on this new chapter in her life, we wish her all the best and hope that she continues to surround herself with love and positivity.
