Paris Hilton's Big Cash Reward: Firefighter Found Her $350,000 Diamond-Encrusted Ring

Model and actress, Paris Hilton, who unluckily lost her $350,000 diamond-encrusted ring while she was in Poland last week, has rewarded 10% of the item's amount to a firefighter who found her ring on the airport's floor two days after the incident, reports say.

Since nobody asked or reported for a missing ring, the firefighter thought that it must be owned by an air stewardess working at the airport.

The honest firefighter named Mieczyslaw Cieslaczyk reportedly 'took it to the airport lost and found' without any idea that the lost item belonged to a celebrity, according to the airport's representative Ewa Bienkowska.

Bienkowska added that the airport staff contacted the fashion show event where Paris attended and the ring was immediately traced back to her.

As noted under the Polish law, the finder is entitled to a fee equivalent to 10% of the lost item's value. Cieslasczyk when asked as to where he will use the big reward, said the he could use the money for a jet-setting on a vacation with his wife.

Adding to Hilton's statement after she discovered that her ring was lost, the actress said that she was riding on a shuttle bus across the runway of the Lodz airport, where she was waiting for her private jet.

Hilton also said that at that time, she actually forgot about the jewelry because she was tired the whole time during her trip, following her show in Ibiza the other evening.

Reports say that after Paris received her ring back, the socialite is already working to keep in touch with the firefighter for the award.

Paris Hilton travelled back to Ibiza from Poland and organized an event for children, where she was able to raise $100,000 for APNEEF, a center for children with disabilities. 

Besides being busy with her charity works, the star never misses some time off with her Swiss entrepreneur boyfriend Thomas Gross, after the love birds were reportedly spotted in Ibiza on Thursday.
