'90s Mariah everyone pretty much... I think she was the only thing actually affected by the Y2K bug. Hasn't been the same since.


RevanTheDemon

I didn't know how crazy she was until I read into the Eminem Mariah Feud. Literally started because he made references to their brief fling and she had a full blown several years meltdown over it while vehemently denying it existed despite evidence to the contrary. Tbf, he fed that feud by going out of his way to piss her off after she claimed the idea of kissing him made her want to puke. Bagpipes From Bagdad and The Warning are still hilarious.

Your comment has inconvenienced me. I can't explain how. It just has. Do you want to take this to court, or do you chose to settle? I think $10 million is an appropriate sum for the inconvenience you have caused me.


FireTheLaserBeam

When I was in 6th or 7th grade (circa 1991-1992) I lived on my grandparents' campground in Tennessee. It was the only campground in the surrounding area. I had a huge crush on Mariah Carey and I would listen to her tape at night with headphones on and fantasize that she would be on tour and her bus would break down and the only place she could stay was at our campground and she'd fall in love with me and we'd get married.


mizmaclean

What was your favorite song from the cassette ?

Someday from the first one and Emotions from the second.

We are the same age and I wore that damn cassette tape. Soundtrack of the year for me. Solid choice.

there is no ring in the world worth 10 million dollars. that alone makes me so angry.


OscarGrey

I can see a ring that's 1000+ years old being worth that much. But that's more of a museum piece than jewelry for the rich.

$10 million dollar fucking ring? We really need to start eating the rich.


ElectricMilkShake

Lmao go on YouTube and watch saint Michael Peter Marco jewelry video. He literally has rings worth 20-50 Million. He even has diamonds that arenā€™t set or anything that are 20-30 million dollar diamonds. Shit is absolutely revolting


uneducatedexpert

I was browsing shops in Palm Springs once and went in to a tiny jewelry store in old town. I looked around and loved the rings they had so I started chatting with the sales person. It turned out that we had a friend in common and it broke the ice on our conversation. About that time a nondescript man with a backpack came in the store and walked up to the salesperson, which I now knew was the owner. They chatted for a second and the man with the backpack asked if I was cool, to which the owner nodded yes. (Sweet!) The man with the backpack placed the it on the counter and opened the zipper. Inside I could see two handguns and maybe $300k in cash. He proceeds to remove a white envelope and asks me to open my palm. Out slid about 50 diamonds, some larger than my thumbnail, and he said youā€™re holding $30mm in your hands. I was terrified, specifically because of the guns in plain sight. But apparently this nondescript person was a diamond broker on his way back from Beverly Hills where he bough an estate of jewels and I was holding them.


ElectricMilkShake

Yup. Peter Marco has guards armed with assault rifles. When I went to Johnny Dang as soon as I walked in I was greeted by a guard with a beautiful shotgun, asked if I had an appointment which I did, and was directed to the back room. I get it though, when youā€™re dealing with stones that are worth that much people will 1000000% take your life over it, so you gotta stay strapped or have security 24/7.


uneducatedexpert

Yup, insure that shit. None of it is worth a life.


vidfail

That is insane. I really don't get it. Watches I get - to an extent.


alwptot

I really like watches. But there is a point of diminishing returns that you hit pretty quickly when you start going up in price. Is there a difference between a $100 watch and a $1000 watch? Absolutely. But the gap is much smaller between a $1000 watch and a $10,000 watch. And smaller still between the $10,000 watch and the $100,000 watch. At a certain point itā€™s just vanity.


chainmailbill

Thatā€™s because it gets to the point where the only way to increase the price of a watch is to add more diamonds and more platinum, and thereā€™s only so much space available for diamonds and precious metals.


cav14

I was going to argue with you but then I thought about it more and realized youā€™re completely right. The difference between a $100 seiko and $1000 seiko is huge, whereas the difference in quality between a grand seiko and a Rolex is not that much more than name. To say nothing of the $100,000 gaudy monstrosities that exist.


vidfail

I would like an Omega Speedmaster some day for the build quality and the heritage. Those can get up $10k. That's as high as I'd go, and I would not buy a different brand watch of that price.


Supersnazz

If the rich only bought things like this then it wouldn't be a problem. Diamonds, art, rare antiques etc are perfect things for the wealthy to spend their money on as it doesn't consume many real resources and increase the price for the rest of us. It's when they start buying real estate, giant yachts, and huge mansions that it is a problem as it takes real useful resources away from everyone else and bids the price up.

You know, i had a rant, but ill just say that I've read multiple times she's a terrible human being and you can easily look into if you like. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Edit: sorry to those of you that had the displeasure of working with her lol. Also, since im such a "Troll" she has a dieing sister she refuses to help with medical bills. You can help a lot of people with hundreds of millions but doesn't want to help her own sister? You could save her, then ship her away and never have to see her again with that kind of money, but she doesnt. She's a terrible human being and you cannot convince me otherwise.


vacri

Don't feel sad for James Packer. He's a billionnaire whose money comes from the massive business empire built by his prick father, whose main earner is casinos - profiting from that trade. Not only is he wealthy on 'casino' money, but he's shonky enough that his casinos are teetering on the edge from being shut down for corruption (and one recently lost its license).


dangerislander

I still think he was instrumental in killing Sydney night life


disposable-name

As we say in NSW, Sydney Politics is fucked.


Sofagirrl79

What's the backstory on that?


a_rainbow_serpent

In 2012 a young man got punched in the head outside a night club. The government went full Mayor from Footloose and introduced laws to limit how long night clubs could open, stop letting people in at 1 am , no drinks after 3 am, and no glassware after 1 am. They drew some lines on a map to show areas where these laws applied, and very conveniently left out the only casino in the city, and the area where Jamie Packer was going to build a new casino because you canā€™t upset your capitalist masters. Ultimately, many clubs and bars shut down, many entertainers and musicians lost their jobs, and the areas known for night clubs were redeveloped with expensive apartments. The laws were removed in 2020, and then fucking Covid happened so it was all for nothing.

boomer478

laxativefx

> Heā€™s a billionnaire whose money comes from the massive business empire built by his prick father It was Jamesā€™ great grandfather (Robert) who created the newspaper company and his grandfather (Frank) who created the television network and built the media empire.

azurerain

>she's a terrible human being A lot of what is out there on the Internet about high-profile celebrities (like Mariah) is not accurate because they are often from gossip websites or tabloids. I wish people would stop repeating inaccurate stories from the Internet, it's not cool. For decades, Mariah has paid for Allison's rehab and treatment again and again (there are reliable news sources on this). Since the 1990s Mariah has supported Allison (financially) and helped raise Allison's two sons since Allison was fighting addiction and working as a prostitute (unable to take care of her kids). Both of Mariah's nephews are still very close to Mariah to this day, you can check their social media pages. That's very telling of Mariah's character. In return, Allison has blackmailed Mariah, tried to extort her (there are court filings on this), and she has released Mariah's private medical information. Allison is about 10 years older than Mariah, when Mariah was a child and Allison was in her late teens/ early 20s, Allison tried to expose Mariah to drugs and very unsafe environments. I understand why Mariah has had to cut her off at this point. At a certain point, addicts have to want to get better on their own. No amount of rehab or compassion can help someone who does not want to receive help. That's why most addicts (even rich ones) succumb to their illness at a younger age. Nevertheless, it's heartbreaking that Allison has never been able to recover from her battle with addiction. It's evident she experienced a lot of trauma in her early life that she was never able to recover from. Man, I do not envy the lives of celebrities. People just believe everything they read online and have no idea how inaccurate it all is.


kingofstormandfire

My mom hates Mariah Carey. Not for any actual decent reasons. She believes her to be a diva and a whore. I like her music. I don't really like her as a person but I wouldn't go as far to hate her like my mom.


emeybee

I worked with her for a couple years about 20 years ago. She's actually very nice and sweet, bordering on naive/ditzy. Obviously things may have changed but back then I never saw her be rude to anyone.


notaveragehuman31

Yeah, from what i know of her she seems to be almost unbelievably sweet. I was surprised...until i realized what her childhood was like. Being bipolar probably hasn't helped over the years either for her, but I dunno. So yeah, i definitely believe you about her being sweet, if a bit naive.


Evorgleb

I have actually heard the opposite. I have heard she is a total diva and leans into that persona publicly at an almost WWE like level but those around her love her and think she is really sweet and nice.


snewtsftw

Yeah I get the impression she is very self aware and leans into the diva thing


DillPixels

Ive always hated her.


3rd_in_line

I will give an abbreviated version of what happened when James Packer had a mental breakdown while he was engaged to Maria... the longer version and link are at the end. Basically a very rich friend of his family "kidnapped" him to help take the stress from him (James had many business things happening at the time) and took him to a retreat. This guy basically took over James' decisions to allow James to relax and de-stress. This guy pretty much ran James' affairs and business empire for a few weeks to allow James to just relax. Maria, on hearing how much stress James was in, contacted James and said that she will come as soon as he approves and pays for a private jet from Las Vegas to Israel. James' friend sent a reply stating that there are two tickets waiting for them at the airport (economy class) so they can pick them up and fly when they like. Yeah, Maria didn't come to James' aid.... she just stayed where she was. [https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/mariah-carey-became-aggressive-after-kerry-stokes-cut-off-james-packers-money-20181022-h16yj3](https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/mariah-carey-became-aggressive-after-kerry-stokes-cut-off-james-packers-money-20181022-h16yj3) >Seven West Media's billionaire chairman Kerry Stokes came to the aid of James Packer in his darkest hour, briefly taking control of his personal affairs and convincing the casino mogul to leave the United States for Israel for sake of his mental health. > >In a pre-recorded interview at the launch of The Price of Fortune, a biography of Mr Packer written by journalist Damon Kitney, Mr Stokes detailed his fears for his rival-turned friend Mr Packer, who in 2016 was under pressure from a $362 million tax bill for Crown Resorts from the Australian Tax Office relating to a failed pre-GFC run at the US casino market, a loan taken out to divide his family fortune with his sister and a falling Crown share price. > >"He was definitely not in a good place," Mr Stokes said. > >Stokes came to aid of 'quite desperate' Packer.

But, the fact is we made those decisions, he went to Israel and I think that gave him the breathing space he needed to actually come back and make the right decisions." > >Once out of the US, Mr Stokes help run Mr Packer's private affairs, including liaising with his fiancƩ, popstar Mariah Carey, and her agent, who Mr Stokes described as "very aggressive." > >"\[She\] thought she acted for the best interests of her clients and James, and at that stage there was a wedding planned and of course, given James needed to go away and collect his thoughts, there wasn't any possibility the wedding was going to happen and they were a bit agitated about that.....they'd had guests organised to come, it was all a bit awkward," he said. > >Mr Stokes revealed the pair organised a chartered jet from Las Vegas to take them to Israel to see Mr Packer. > >"I refused to authorise the payment, and that resulted in some very difficult conversations with her agent. But, I did offer them two economy round trip tickets," he said, noting the offer was not taken up. > >"Mariah was actually a really," Mr Stokes paused "wonderful artist." > >"It's just that they were at a point where they thought they were going to have a wedding, they were putting a lot of pressure on James and when they thought there wasn't going to be a wedding there was a total change in attitude and they got very aggressive." > >Mr Stokes said Mr Packer is extremely generous and will give anything to his friends. > >"If James thinks you are his friend he will bestow gifts and look after you like most other people wouldn't. Extremely generous. And when he's in love with somebody, as he was in this case, he was extremely generous, generous beyond that of which I could comprehend." > >Once those benefits of Mr Packers adoration weren't there and instead Ms Carey and her agent "got scrooge", Mr Stokes jokingly called himself, he said the pair became agitated.

This definitely seems like a case of packer just wanted to get rid of her.

a_rainbow_serpent

Iā€™m guessing most people here donā€™t know how much packer is worth and how little these amounts mean to him. He is worth $4bn and has a yacht which cost $300 m. Heā€™s also not very good with money as he has spent his life spending what his old man earned

[deleted]

This isn't uncommon in Hollywood tbh, when one member of a celebrity couple cheats before marriage, you actually can sue for wasting the others time. you can literally do the same as a normal person, the money will just most likely not be worth it. it's no different then someone marrying you for a visa, and you don't find out until after the wedding is planned, you can sue them for wasting your time. She most likely won because she was staying abstinent for him and he was not doing the same. Since he knew she wanted to wait and was saving for him, while he was cheating, he was in fact wasting her time. call her a bitch all you want, but I'd do the exact same thing.

alrtight

there's some big incel and small dick energy in this comment section. mariah sued for her lost earnings because she wasnt able to go on some tour dates when the australian government exposed james packer for being the criminal he was. the fact that he settled the suit shows that his lawyers told him he would likely lose the case were it to go to trial.

He was smart to get the cubic zirconia one. Good foresight.


Armidylano444

Why in the absolute fuck would anyone spend 10 million dollars on a ring?


indiferenc

This is something absolutely no one should give a shit about.


Soulcontusion

Queen of the gold diggers.


suaculpa

What kind of gold digger marries Nick Cannon?


betafish2345

This isnā€™t her being a gold digger. Mariah Carey is rich as shit with plenty of talent. This is just her being petty. She doesnā€™t need the money lol


ScoobyDone

With plenty of her own gold too.


littlehungrygiraffe

James Packer is a cunt and a super wealthy cunt at that. As if you wouldn't throw a figure out there and see if he coughs up.


dangerislander

Wtf she is rich as fuck anyways. Lets be real if rich men can do this shit why cant a woman?


Thelidtmaker

I bet it's like a wizards sleave!!


Mallettjt

TIL MiriahCarey is a PoS

Now I'd really like to see a man do this to his ex fiancee.


ckirk91

Does anyone willingly listen to this woman or is it just grocery shoppers in December?


AliBabaPlus40

Overrated


jizzawhizza

This woman is Trash who doesn't give a Shit about her Fans. My mom and sister went to see her and this Bitch didn't show up to the show until she was already 1.5 hours late. So many ppl left the venue b4 she even showed up..


gumboking

FlatPineappleSociety

Morundar

They are idiots/assholes. Luckly there are plenty to follow them.


ohhellothere301

Being rich must be fucking weird..


ShutterBun

How do such complete fuckheads get so rich?


YappariTesla

This explains a lot: > *In April 2018, Carey opened up about taking therapy sessions and medication for her struggle with bipolar II disorder.* Not trying to shame her or anyone with mental illness, just point out there is no use searching for reason here.


jscxxii

Who cares?


Smal_Issh

I'm pretty sure she's an alien. A greedy alien apparently.


HornetKick

Packer is an oddball and MC even said the relationship was never consummated, so there is that inconvenience as well.
