    I thought that the rule was supposed to be two months income.

    I guess Jeff doesn't really love his new wife.

    Jesus Christ. Two months' income is so insane. I'd be pissed if my boyfriend bought me a ring that expensive.

        Two months is what DeBeirs, the assholes who hold a monopoly on diamonds, arbitrarily told people to spend on a diamond.

        Ultimately it should be what makes both parties happy.

            I don't understand how more people aren't upset by this. I guess that's why they installed Trump, to keep us mad about everything else...

                  Originally in the they said it was one months' salary. They then upped it two months. And they then upped it Three months

                  You can also see in the article that they hoard about 60% of the world's diamonds. De Beers is a corrupt company sitting on top of a corrupt system built on blood and death.

                    Some people live under the delusion that they'll become billionaires someday. They project themselves that far ahead. Oblivious.

                          It will. But it will disproportionately affect the poor.

                              Order of magnitude better. Three orders of magnitudes better once you also fix the misuse of percentages.

                                  Quickest, simplest fix would be to treat borrowing against unrealized capital gains as income for tax purposes.

                                    The actual number is 0.000021, or 0.0021%. If you make $50,000 a year, 0.000021 is just $1.05. Bezos spending $5 million on a ring has the same effect on his net wealth as our 50k per year guy spending $1.05 on a wedding ring.

                                    Cheap fucker didn't even come close to spending two months salary on his big love.

                                        Hoping it will be the necks of the wealthy, confident it will be sonething bigger and more precious.

                                          Fingers crossed, but im not optimistic that will be the first thing.
