The real reasons Mariah Carey and James Packer split

Songstress Mariah Carey and billionaire fiance James Packer have reportedly called it quits, despite sources close to the couple previously claiming they were totally in love. What happened?

A source told Page Six, "The relationship was always a sham—it was all about one thing…money, money, money, money." Woman's Day Australia reported that Packer was unsettled by Carey's lavish lifestyle, with an insider telling the mag, "James is very generous, but Mariah takes it to the next level."

Carey does, indeed, like to spend. Page Six reported that her glam squad costs close to $10,000 per session to get her hair and makeup picture perfect, and she won't appear in public without their work. Additionally, Carey and Packer had "his and hers" yachts, which she showed off on Entertainment Tonight in early August 2016. Carey's yacht reportedly costs a cool $340,000 per week, plus expenses, including $40,000 for fuel, wages for a 16-person crew, and fees for Carey's personal on-board chef. Page Six alleges the "Fantasy" singer spends "at least $45,000 a year on spa treatments for her beloved pooches…[and] even flew first class to LA in January, which cost over $2,000 per dog." A Packer pal told Woman's Day Australia that Carey also spends $100,000 a month ordering exotic flowers from around the world to be delivered wherever she happens to be.

A source dished to Us Weekly that Carey may have had a "why spend mine when I can spend yours?" mentality. "The difference is, she has always drained through her own money, but now she had him picking up some of the bills," the insider said. "He started managing her money and her affairs. He started coming up with other ways she could make money."

Shortly after the split was announced, TMZ reported that Carey made a private demand to Packer for $50 million after the breakup. A source claimed that Packer allegedly made several "financial promises" to the Grammy winner. Carey reportedly claimed that packing up and moving her life (and her twins from her previous marriage to Nick Cannon) from New York to Los Angeles so Packer could be near his kids cost her a lot of money. Carey also allegedly claimed that whatever happened during their blowout fight in Greece in September 2016 traumatized her so much that she was forced to cancel the South American leg of her tour, which in turn cost her a slew of profits.
