"Just do it!" With those three words, Shia LeBeouf achieved two things. Firstly, he ensured that he'd live forever as an internet meme, and secondly, he ensured that his once-promising movie career was all-but over. The bizarre 'motivational' video that was posted on YouTube was just the first in a series of bizarre 'performance art' stunts that LaBeouf has undertaken in the past few years, which have seen him written off as a pretentious crank. His two arrests for drunk and disorderly behavior, during which he was abusive to police officers, are the cherry on the cake in terms of reasons to dislike him.
Is it wrong to dislike artists purely because of their art, though? During one of LeBeouf's performance artworks, he sat in a call center in Liverpool, England, during which callers were invited to tell him their deepest secrets. LeBeouf is understood to have helped dissuade people from suicide during that time, as well as listening to their problems and offering them perspective. He may take himself a little too seriously, but he isn't selfish.
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.
