Andre 3000 is probably the most eccentric and eclectic hip-hop artist of all-time and his body of work proves just that and why he is one of the greatest as well. Andre 3000 is known as one-half of the notorious and legendary hip-hop duo, Outkast alongside Atlanta rapper, Big Boi and surpassed superstardom with their list of albums. The two first arrived on the scene with their 1994 debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, which shook up the entire industry's perspective of southern hip-hop and after dropping hits like 'Jazzy Belle', 'So Fresh & So Clean', 'I Like The Way You Move', and 'Ms. Jackson' there was no denying that both Andre and Big Boi were a force to be reckoned with.
One flaw Andre 3000 might have is that he's never dropped an official solo album, the double disk, 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' could arguably be considered solo projects from both artists but still, puts an asterisk next to 3 Stacks name as the greatest of all time. Andre 3000 has supposedly retired from rap but pops up from time to time as a guest feature on other artist's projects. He recently released a two-song EP entitled, Look Ma No Hands, dedicated to his deceased mother this past Mother's Day.
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.
