Going once...going twice...
Mr. Ex Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries is auctioning off the reality star's enormous engagement ring to the highest bidder! After just 72 days of marriage, the new mom Kim K announced that she was splitting from NBA player.
The Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring boasts a 16.21 carat emerald cut center stone, and two 1.80-carat trapezoid stones on the side. Kris reportedly paid a cool $2 million back in 2011 for the ring, however it is reported that it most likely will only fetch a mere $300-$500K.
Looks like now our questions are finally laid to rest about who got the ring in the bitter divorce battle. Apparently, Kim, who is now the mother of Kanye West's child, secretly gave the ring back over a year ago. The ring is set to be auctioned off on October 15th at Christie's in Manhattan.
Christie's has declined to name the seller as Humphries, and has listed the seller as a "gentlemen." We can't help but feel a little bad for Kris...not only did his heart get broken, but so will his pockets with the resale value of the ring.
The potential silver lining to this ordeal, is that a portion of the proceeds from the auction are have said to be going to charity..at least one good thing will come from the whirlwind marriage!
