My husband, Edward Sterling, buys his new secretary a million-dollar necklace. She immediately posts it on her Instagram story with the glittering diamonds against her skin. The caption read: [The reward for my hustle! So blessed! I'll do you proud, Mr. Sterling!] His executive assistant screenshots it and sends it to me. I forward it straight to Edward with a simple question: [So a million is nothing to you. What's a lot?] He replies: [Anything over ten million, I suppose.] I text back: [Wire me fifteen million. Now. Mark it as a gift.] A new message pops up from him: [Come on, babe. Stop it.] My next message is a video. It shows me holding that ancient vase he loves more than anything. Then I open my hand to shatter it. The vase is worth exactly fifteen million dollars.
