The Kansas City Chiefs have had several notable Hall of Fame athletes represent their franchise on Sundays including the likes of Willie Lanier, Derrick Thomas, and Tony Gonzalez. It also looks like the Chiefs might have another Hall of Fame prospect on their hands in the form of current quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. But as of right now, the title of greatest Kansas City Chiefs goes to outside linebacker, Bobby Bell. The 6'4, 230lbs linebacker was ahead of his time in regards to versatility and pure athletism. Coming off the edge, Bell caused hell for his opposition throughout the 1960s and '70s.
Prior to playing his college ball at the University of Minnesota, Bell won All-State honors as a quarterback in high school. While in college, he made the jump to defensive lineman, where he contributed to a National Championship (1960) and a Rose Bowl win (1962). Bell would go on to be selected 16th overall in the second round of the 1963 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs where he played all twelve seasons of his career. Throughout his stint as a Chief, Bell was a 6x AFL All-Star, 3x NFL Pro Bowler, and was selected as Defensive Player of the Year once in 1969. Bell helped the Chiefs secure a Super Bowl win in 1970 and holds the record for most interceptions returned by a linebacker with eight total touchdowns.
In the US, the average spent on an engagement ring is $6,351 but how do these figures compare with our favorite celebrities? The answer: they don't. As the diamonds increase in size, obviously the price tag appreciates handsomely. Well, we've compiled a list of some of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.
This list would be nothing without Kim Kardashian's rock from Kanye, which clocked in at around a cool $4 million when he presented it to her at his stadium proposal in October 2013. Unfortunately, though, the 15-carat sparkler was among the jewelry stolen during Kim's infamous Paris robbery in 2016.
Jennifer Lopez's husband Alex Rodriguez popped the question to the singer, and he really had to step it up to outshine her previous engagement rings—and wow, did he deliver. The baseball star proposed with a reported 15-20 carat emerald cut stunner set on a platinum band that was estimated at $5 million. It's getting harder and harder not to be fooled by the rocks she's got...
It should come as no surprise that Beyonce herself totes one of the world's highest-valued diamonds. Weighing in at 24 carats, Jay reportedly paid around $5 million (now worth $6,047,013) for Bey's flashy emerald-cut ring back in 2008.
Anna Kournikova's relationship Latin music artist Enrique Iglesias since the early '00s has been one of the most lowkey celebrity relationships to date. That is with the exception of her $5,400,000 engagement ring that made headlines in 2004. Now, worth a whopping $7,443,596, the giant yellow stunner was spotted on Kournikova even during her tennis matches. (Pssst! It's rumored she got two rings from Iglesias. Prior to this, she sported an equally giant pink pear-shaped ring.)
Clocking in as the most expensive celebrity engagement ring, Mariah Carey's 35-carat bling from ex-fiancé James Packer reportedly cost a cool $10 million. And the "Obsessed" singer seemed to be a bit, well, obsessed with the jewel. She continued to wear the ring over a year post-breakup, and didn't part ways with the bauble until May 2018, selling it to a Los Angeles jeweler for $2.1 million.
