Tom Cruise is another name we mentioned right at the beginning of this list, so you knew we were always going to get back around to him eventually! There have been many jokes made about Cruise's diminutive height over the years, but Cruise has always had the perfect answer in terms of success. Common sense says that Cruise shouldn't have landed half the action movie parts he's been able to land, but he has so much charisma that directors find it impossible not to cast him. In the 'Jack Reacher' novels, the protagonist is well over six feet tall. That hasn't stopped Cruise playing him at the movies.
How tall Cruise actually is remains something of a mystery. In the past few years, he's been telling people that he's 5 foot 7. We've found interviews from the 1990s in which he's claimed to be taller, though. Some people who've worked with him say that he wears lifts inside his shoes, or even discreetly elevated heels. As with so much of Cruise's life, it's hard to separate the fact from the fiction - but we can safely say he's short.
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.
