At one point in time, Nicolas Cage was on top of the world and there wasn't an action thriller film or intense drama that he wasn't starring in. From movies like Gone In 60 Seconds, the National Treasure franchise films, The Wicker Man, and 2012's Stolen the guy has portrayed the perfect protagonist that we all wanted help. Then there were times early in his career that he made some rather interesting casting choices like starring in Peggy Sue Got Married, Valley Girl, and that horrendous Ghost Rider movie... Yikes.
Regardless, Nicolas Cage defined a generation of actors and he too is another celebrity with a creepily similar doppelganger in this semi-enthused Civil War-era dashing young chap. One thing we can say about the young man is that his hairline was holding up a lot better than Cage's is these days. The tye is a bit much but that full head of hair probably has Cage fuming right now. No worries, Nicolas can borrow some from his goth son, Weston who has hair flowing down his back.
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.
