Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Calais Campbell was regarded as one of the best defensive end prospects in the nation during his start as a high school athlete. Despite his size, Campbell was also a star prospect on the basketball court averaging a total 22.7 points, 16.0 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game as a junior. With so much potential as a multi-sport athlete Campbell took his talents to the University of Miami where he participated in the Hurricanes football team for a total of three seasons. In those three seasons, Calais Campbell racked up a total of 129 tackles, 19.5 sacks, and one interception.
After a successful collegiate career, Campbell declared himself to the 2008 NFL Draft where he was drafted 50th overall in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals. In nine seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Campbell was paid a total of $58.5 million by the Cardinals including a $17 million base salary and $12 signing bonus in the year 2012 alone. In March 2017, Campbell signed a four-year $60 million, $30 million guaranteed contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the Jaguars might be going through a transition now, there has been some return on their investment with Calais holding franchise records for most sacks in a game (4) and most sacks in a season (14.5).
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.
