The whirlwind romance between Mariah Carey
and James Packer just got serious.
The Australian billionaire is said to have proposed
to the American singer, seven months after they
were first seen cozying up on a holiday in Italy.
“A close friend of Mr. Packer confirmed the couple
were engaged and said they were over the moon
that James has found such happiness with
Mariah,” a source told CNN.
Worth about $3.5 billion, 48 year old Packer is
Australia’s fourth richest man, according to the
Forbes Rich List. His family made millions
through the media industry, before Packer turned
to casinos.
He owns one of Australia’s gaming and
entertainment groups, Crown Resorts.
45 year old Carey has dominated the
entertainment industry for decades and is one of
the best-selling music artists of all time.
On a U.S. talk show, she described how they got
together.
“We first met in Aspen, a couple of years ago. We
met at the Hercules premiere. We were talking
and laughing and people were getting mad at us
and stuff like that. So we hit it off,” said Carey.
