Some Diamonds beat the rate of inflation. By a lot.
This is the story. In 1940, Shirley Temple Black’s father bought this Blue diamond for her for about $7,200.00 US dollars. In 2016 dollars, that’s about $121,600. Miss Temple Black wore this beauty for several years. Now that that Miss Temple Black has passed, her diamond is up for auction.
The estimated sale price from the auction house is $35 million U S Dollars. Wow. Whoever owns this gem now must be happy. She wore this beautiful diamond for years, and the heir will cash out big time with this sale. This surely beats the stockmarket!
