34. Torrie Wilson

Torrie Wilson came up in the Attitude Era of the WWF/WWE where the majority of the women athletes performed roles focused on their sensuality and looks. And while Torrie Wilson was one of the hot blondes on the roster she was still willing to throw down in the ring. Despite having moves like the Facial AKA Stickface in her arsenal, Wilson was highly athletic. Her Handspring Back Elbow, Swinging Neckbreaker, Torrienado DDT, and Nose Job Facebuster are moves that set her apart from McMahon's infamous Vince's Devils clique.

Prior to stepping foot in the square circle, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1999. Within the same year, Wilson was introduced to the WCW where she instantly became an integral member of the notorious New World Order (nWo). By 2001, Wilson acquired a roster slot on WWF/WWE following the WWF and WCW merger. Unfortunately, Wilson was forced into retirement in 2008 after suffering a back injury. However, she has made sporadic returns to the WWE over the past several years. This year she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Did You Know...

I

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.

II

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.

III

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...

IV

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.

V

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.)

VI

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.
