What is sufficient compensation for posting a photo that sparks fashion debates, ends friendships, and ruins millions of lives? Apparently the answer is a trip to Grenada and a check for $10,000. Lover of all things viral, Ellen DeGeneres brought the three people responsible for sharing a photo of the white and gold black and blue dress on Tumblr onto her show and talked to them about how it all started and their reaction to the image going viral.

Ellen also brought out the woman who took the photo and had her wear the dress. Before the group could leave, Ellen blessed them with underwear to match the dress, tickets to Grenada for a week, and a fat check. God bless the Internet.
