Figure Skater Adam Rippon Made A $6,000 Pre-Olympics Splurge - Here's Why | CNBC Make It.

I wondered about his bracelet. He never takes it off, had to adjust it before his long program and clued into it when he was on Ellen. HE'S RIGHT. It is good to buy nice things for yourself.

[@patriciatom9555]

Wow, Adam Rippon, you are so wise and endearing at the same time. I hear you speak and it so lights up my day! Thank you Adam. Thank you CNBC Make it.

[@NatashaEstrada]

[@L-mo]

Good for him. I would love myself if I looked like that!

[@Karolina-dr8du]

Lmao I do the same thing 😂😂

[@ristin59]

Cute & crazy! Story of my love life..

[@rumi7028]

[@BluRey100]

ƆѲѦЄƉƳ ƆΔЯЄЄЯ ΔĦЄΔƉ!

[@jeffmonaghan]

Do you think you are the reincarnation of someone? Or are you the first one of you, with more lifetimes ahead?

[@L-mo]

I would like to celebrate you on me.

[@asupremum1246]

Any chance those $6,000 went to starving people?

[@christophermaybury4918]

Ask the people at Cartier. Their money now.

[@Jennifer-wq2bl]

I don't know, Why don't you donate your yearly income to starving people.

[@asupremum1246]

Jennifer , Did you read in my comment that "he should donate his yearly income"? Or are you intentionally failing at trying to sound smart? There's a world of a difference between donating your entire yearly income and helping starving people with excess money that you could just throw away on a useless little bracelet.

[@hermionelover16]

I mean most billionaires could give up at least half of their money and save most of the world and still have enough money to last themselves like 20 lifetimes, so I’m gonna give Adam a pass

[@asupremum1246]

Nathan Gornick , yeah well that will never change as long as you give people passes unfortunately.

[@MrHsauvageau]

Wow so he is really narcissist ... the ending is just me me me me me

[@karenfromfinance7137]

MrHsauvageau I think that’s a misinterpretation of what he was saying

[@Mergirl97]

in an interview.. about himself lol

[@soni8995]

MrHsauvageau ....... More like, when you've not valued yourself for much of your life, and you finally see the light.

[@L-mo]

I think you nailed it but missed the point completely at the same time. Good job!

[@o.oo.o5637]

sort of sad

[@ManuelPabloArnao]

Insufferable

[@Jennifer-wq2bl]

I know you are, it's sad. You don't have to be. Smile more.
