Mariah's $16M Wedding Ring

Where exactly did Nick Cannon get $16M for a ring?! Obviously, Mariah bought the ring and Nick picked it out. Right?

Mariah Carey’s one lucky girl — her wedding gift from new hubby Nick Cannon was a $16m, 14-carat, pink diamond ring.

And the ‘Touch My Body’ singer’s new bling wowed fellow diners when she was spotted at New York’s trendy Waverly Inn.

A source said: “Nick has been besotted since he first met Mariah on a US TV show three years ago. Just before they got married, he got down on one knee again and gave her the pink diamond ring he’d had custom made. She was stunned and thrilled.”

The pair married in a small ceremony at Carey’s Bahamian estate last month. Mariah’s cousin, Shawn McDonald, reportedly walked her down the aisle.

The pop superstar recently dismissed reports she never had a pre-nup in place before the shotgun wedding, reportedly telling a pal: “Anyone who thinks we didn’t have a pre-nup is smoking something!”

It’s Mariah’s second marriage. She was married to record executive Tommy Mottola from 1993 – 1998.

Nick was previously engaged to Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks in 2007. However, the couple called off the engagement that same year.

When asked what he loved about Carey, Cannon said “everything.”

What a waste of money! I mean really 16 million for a ring! I could think of way better things that kind of money could have been spent on.

People.com is reporting it's only worth 2.5 mil. Either way, that's a lot of dang money for a ring.
