Which of the major presidential candidate are not millionaires?

Edwards and Gore are living in pagodas and the Clintons socking millions away from Bubba’s mouth openings while living in a Terry MCAwful-funded house and reclining on White House-pifered antiques.

Bet carbon credit income or zinc mine returns could buy some nice rocks as well.

The three-karat, 2000 ring weighed more than an ounce, had 22 diamonds and 34.5 grams of gold

34.5 grams of gold goes for about $747 dollars - or about $350 in 2000.

Three carats of diamonds divided into 22 individual diamonds results in diamonds of approximately one-eighth of a carat apiece.

You can buy 10-karat gold earrings from Zale's with two one-seventh carat diamonds for $99.99.

So even though the Zales earrings come with more diamond and some gold thrown into the mix, let's say that each of those one-eighth carat diamonds cost $100.

22 diamonds plus $350 of gold equals $2,550 in raw cost of goods.

Add in a 57% markup for workmanship and you have $4,000.

Sounds quite plausible to me.

After some other news I have heard about Giuliani I was curious about what type of jewelry he wore.
