Michael Vick single-handedly revolutionized the quarterback position by becoming a legitimate running option from the pocket. His unfathomable breakaway speed and passing precision allowed him to become one of the biggest offensive threats during his time in the NFL. In 1998, Vick redshirted for the Virginia Tech Hokies. The following year, Vick led the NCAA in passing efficiency with a rating of 180.4 as a freshman. In two seasons at Virginia Tech, Vick threw for a total of 3,279 yards and rushed for a total of 1,216 yards scoring a total of 38 touchdowns through the air and on foot.
After his impressive two-year collegiate stint, Michael Vick was drafted 1st overall in the 2001 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons where he played the majority of his NFL career. In six seasons with the Falcons, Vick was able to rake in $61.4 million from the franchise before being cut from the team and serving prison time for an illegal dog-fighting ring that was located on a property he owned. While this mishap might have derailed his career, he was able to return to the field as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009. In five seasons with the Eagles, Vick was able to earn over $52.2 million. Michael Vick also played one season with the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers before retiring in 2016.
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.
