This is a little bit of a strange one. When Leonardo DiCaprio turned down a lead role in 'Boogie Nights,' he had an excellent reason for doing so. He'd been offered big money to appear in 'Titanic' instead, and 'Titanic' was the film that took him from being a reasonably well-known actor to becoming a bonafide Hollywood megastar. The part of Dirk Diggler in 'Boogie Nights' would have boosted his profile - and it would have been interesting to see his take on it - but it wouldn't have been the Oscar-winning star-maker that 'Titanic' was.
For all of the above reasons, we wouldn't have called this a cause for regret - but we include it on this list because DiCaprio himself has said that he wishes he'd taken the part. Speaking to GQ magazine in 2008, he described the decision as the only regret of his career to date. To us, that means one of two things - either he really, really loves 'Boogie Nights,' or he didn't enjoy the harsh glare of the spotlight that came with making one of the biggest movies of all time.
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.
