This is what a ten million dollar ring looks like

This January, James Packer, one of the richest men in Australia, proposed to singer Mariah Carey with a $10,000,000 ring. This ring is one of the most expensive engagement rings ever purchased with a diamond that reached Carey’s knuckle. So, aside from buying a ring that’s as bright as Mariah Carey’s smile, what else could you do with $10,000,000?

 

  1. Pay for 305 years of college or 4 years of college for 77 students.
  2. Buy 7,751,938 songs on iTunes.
  3. Sponsor 21,929 impoverished children in Africa for one year.
  4. Give every homeless person in America $16.
  5. Buy 1,250,000 burritos at chipotle.
  6. Buy 2,500 engagement rings.
  7. Buy 30,303,030 replays on snapchat.
  8. Apply to 200,000 colleges.
  9. Buy 714,285 bottles of the Kylie Jenner lip kit.
  10. Pay for 104,166 years of Netflix.
  11. Buy 40,000,000 gum balls.
  12. Buy 3,000,000 grande vanilla chai tea lattes at Starbucks.
  13. Get 285,714 mani pedis.
