Default 10 Billion Trillion Trillion Carat Diamond

Astronomers discovered the 10 Billion Trillion Trillion Carat Diamond in the core of a White Dwarf Star. (all I want is a small chunk, basketball size, no one will notice, I will be set for life)

When and if they ever mine at that location the price of diamond will drop faster than a lead sinker.

When asked to estimate the value of the cosmic jewel, Ronald Winston, CEO of Harry Winston Inc., indicated that such a large diamond probably would depress the value of the market, stating, "Who knows? It may be a self-deflating prophecy because there is so much of it." He added, "It is definitely too big to wear!"

The only words that come to mind are "No Really?

I just want one big chunk, did I mention I want that chunk to be a solid flawless E-F colorless and flawless. Then I simply auction it off on ebay, and sit back and watch as the ebay servers crash and the bids top the trillion dollar mark.

Wonder what kinda computer I can buy with 500mil. And the more important question is of course after spending 500mil, will it play doom3?

OK tell you what, if I get my basketball sized colorless, flawless diamond, then you get a 20 carat pendant to do with as you like.
