That chick should be mad. 3-months salary for him would be like $27 billion.

That's a DeBeers diamond cartel propaganda rule of thumb.

He should've used antimatter as a ring

If you assume 7% annual rate of return on that $230 billion, then 3 months "salary" would be a little over $4 billion.

That being said, as others have pointed out, the "3 months salary" guideline is just propaganda from DeBeers and no one in their right mind should ever spend that type of money on a piece of jewelry.

Not to defend this thug or any other billionaire, but it isn't about salaries but fortune.
