Carey's Sultan of bling
Aug 30, 2006, 11:32 GMT
Mariah Carey has been given £3 million of diamonds by the Sultan of Brunei's son.
The singer received a eight-carat, flawless diamond necklace and matching ring from Prince Azim just as she was about to go on stage in New York last Wednesday (23.08.06).
The 24-year-old prince is third in line to the Sultinate and his father is worth a whopping £25 billion. His representative told Mariah: 'We were sent by private jet to deliver this gift.' The singer was so delighted to be performing in her hometown that she splashed out £30,000 on Cristal champagne for friends and family at the show, which took place in Madison Square Gardens. Mariah made sure her 150 guests enjoyed themselves, although she could only drink wine. The 36-year-old singer is quoted by Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: 'Champagne's bad for my voice so I can't have any on tour. I am sleeping 15 hours a day in a room full of humidifiers and am on total voice rest between shows - I'm not even supposed to speak.' Mariah is currently on the US leg of her 'Adventures of Mimi' tour, but will start filming her new movie and begin work on her new album at the end of the year.Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
