So, It Must Be Nice…

A month ago, Christie’s Auction House sold an unused life jacket from the famous Titanic ship for $68,500.

The cork filled preserver is believed to be only one of six left and was recovered from the Halifax shoreline after the ship sank.

I don’t know which thought is more disturbing… that someone shelled out close to $70K for this “memorabilia” or the fact that the life jacket was unused (and 1500 people drowned in that tragedy).

I wonder how many times the person who bought this has seen the movie???

Nearly a month ago, Christie’s (auction house) had a massive jewelery auction. They sold $50 Million worth of jewelery that day with 10 pieces going for more than $1 Million each.

One diamond, an extremely rare cushion-cut 39.34 carats sold for for $6,873,000 ($175,000 per carat) to a private collector from the Middle East.

But that ‘bauble’ is nothing compared to last year’s 84-carat white diamond that went for $16.2 million to Guess! Jeans founder George Marciano, who named it the “Chloe Diamond” after his 12-year-old daughter.

Um, I can’t even fathom what it must be like to be 12 and to have a $16.2 million diamond.

And what pressure that will be for whoever decides he wants to marry her…
