Diamond Planet!

Just saw this article today and thought it was pretty cool. One question, though--can any math whizzes here on the boards give me an estimate on the amount of carats this planet would be? Using Jupiter's mass as the base, I came up with 9.493e+30 ct (9.5 nonillion carats +/-). Am I even in the ballpark? My math is shoddy (to put it mildly), but I'm curious...and a dork.

I'm out of my depth as a mathematician but that's pretty astounding. Supposedly Jupiter's core is made of diamond but due to the pressures involved it is impossible to reach.
