James Packer pays millions to Mariah after messy split
James Packer has reportedly paid millions of dollars to singer Mariah Carey with the couple reaching a financial agreement recently, after their very public split in October last year.
The business mogul has forked out somewhere in between $6 million-$13 million (US$5-10 million), according to The Blast.com.
The We Belong Together singer has also managed to keep her 35-carat engagement ring which she frequently wears, valued at around US$10 million.
The settlement comes after the 50-year-old business mogul told Weekend Australia magazine in October this year that the relationship with Mariah was a "mistake," and that he was at a "low point" in his life when the two got together.
"I was at a low point in my personal life," he told the outlet. "She was kind, exciting and fun. Mariah is a woman of substance. But it was a mistake for her and a mistake for me.”
The couple started dating in 2015 and split in October 2016, just nine months after announcing their engagement.
"The fight was not because of any cheating allegations or excessive spending by Mariah. James is one of the most successful businessmen in the world. They are trying to work it out. Right now, they're not sure if they will stay together," Mariah's representative told Entertainment Tonight.
