14 DAY TRIAL // Ever the shrewd businesswoman, Kim Kardashian considered the possibility of divorce even before she started making wedding plans with Kris Humphries. This way, she will get to keep the engagement ring she got from him.
Kim and Kris were married in August in a lavish private ceremony that reportedly made them laugh all the way to the bank.
Now, 72 days later, they are getting a divorce and many are wondering (among other things) what Kim will do with the 20.5-carat, $2 million (€1.45 million) ring she got from Kris when he proposed.
Word online has it that Kim is entitled to keep the bauble, since she married Kris. Had she called off the engagement before saying “I Do,” she would have had to return it.
Her mom, Kris Jenner, says she should – and will – keep it because “it's a gift” and you shouldn't ask to have gifts returned.
As it turns out, Kim planned ahead and actually included a clause in the prenup she and Kris signed referring strictly to the ring, TMZ reports.
“Sources close to the former couple tell us... it was Kris who originally bought the 20.5 carat diamond stunner and Kim loved the ring so much, she included a clause in the pre-nup which allows her buy the ring from Kris for the original purchase price in the case of a divorce,” the e-zine has learned.
“Ironically, without a special clause in the prenup, Kim would have been the proud owner outright, because once they became man and wife, the ring would have been Kim's,” TMZ further says.
Either way, Kim is believed to be willing to pay Kris for the ring, even if it's rightfully hers either way. In doing so, she complies with the terms stipulated in the prenup.
Kim and Kris never said how much the ring was worth, but word got out in various magazines that its price tag was of 2 million (€1.45 million).
Kris Jenner insists the ring is actually worth half that amount – but, then again, she's also saying neither her daughter nor the family profited in any way from the wedding. In fact, they lost money by organizing it, she says.
