DrDawkinstein Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 $8Million on ONE RING! Suing a former jeweler because his jewelry collection, which he was using as an "investment", didnt appraise well. IMO, Brees sounds like an idiot here. http://www.tmz.com/2018/04/03/drew-brees-8-million-diamond-ring-lawsuit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 If he spent $15 million on jewelry, I agree that is idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 He deserved to get ripped off. That's embarrassing to spend that much on jewelry. Kobe did when he cheated on his wife because he had to. What's Brees' excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was like "I spent $15M on gifts because I could!" that would STILL be better than "I spent $15M on jewelry because I thought it was a good way to invest that money" And if I'm paying $8M for a ring, Im going to bring in my own outside appraiser FIRST! Heck, I brought in an appraiser when I paid $150k for a house. $8M, you better believe Im double checking everything. Brees is dumb. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewelry is a stupid losing investment,blue chip stocks,gold or real estate make much better investments unless your buying the Hope Diamond (or what ever is biggest now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 It sounds like he got swindled by a high-end diamond jewler...go figure! Also how could he have financial issues with the money he’s made? To my knowledge he doesn’t have any high-profile divorces or legal settlements, so if he has issues it’s because of many situations like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 There's much better ways to invest 15M than jewelry. Wouldn't expect Brees to do something this dumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
