First and foremost, we'd like to mention that the Los Angeles Chargers actually spent a total of 56 years in San Diego before being ripped from the city and relocated to Hollywood in 2017. Which makes this guy's sign all the more amusing and why the Chargers have such a poor fan base ranking, to begin with. The Chargers are a football franchise that glides under the radar for most casual NFL fans mainly due to the team's weak public perception. Year in and year out, the Chargers find themselves in the playoffs but, can never make it over the hump to get in the Super Bowl conversation.
Not to mention, Dean Spanos is despised by most San Diegans today, the team plays in one of the smallest stadiums in the league in the Dignity Health Sports Park that only seats 27,000 patrons while their LA neighbors in the Rams play in the cozier LA Coliseum that seats over 78,000 fans. We're not sure what the Chargers have to do to grow their fan base but, we suggest winning a Super Bowl might be a good start to support the team's overall fan engagement with the franchise. The Los Angeles Chargers are ranked 26th in fan equity, 26th in social equity, and 16th in road equity.
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.
