Being the first black guy to hit the number one spot on the Hot Country Songs charts since 1983 is an accomplishment in itself. The realm of country music wouldn't even let Beyonce enter the genre without backlash. Think about it... Darius Rucker, formerly of Hootie and the Blowfish is the Miami Dolphins celebrity gem. Rucker has performed at a multitude of different games and is often seen on the sidelines rooting for the South Floridian football squad.
Unfortunately, the Dolphins have struggled to find stability in some of the major player positions on the field. The Dolphins ended the regular season with a record of 7-9 and couldn't clinch a playoff berth in a tough AFC conference. It might be a good thing the franchise let go of now former head coach Adam Gase, especially following his awkward New York Jets head coach introductory press conference. Gase looked like he snorted half of Miami's cocaine supply before heading up north. Hopefully, the Dolphins get things together so Darius Rucker has a reason to create some celebratory tunes.
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.
