Vonnie B'Vsean Miller Jr. is a dog on the football field. Offensive coordinators, o-linemen, quarterbacks, and runningbacks adjust their game just to avoid his presence. And even at 30-years-old, he's still garnering the much-deserved respect he requires every time he steps on the field. From 2007 to 2010, Von Miller attended Texas A&M University where he racked up a total of 181 tackles, 33.0 sacks, and forced seven fumbles. His senior year, he was granted with All-American honors and awarded the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker.
After showing out on the collegiate level, Von Miller was drafted 2nd overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos where he's played all of his nine seasons with the Colorado franchise. Instantly, Von Miller made an impact winning the Rookie of the Year in 2011 and contributed to the Broncos Super Bowl 50 win and exited the game as Super Bowl MVP. With seven Pro Bowl honors of his nine seasons in the league, Miller signed a six-year extension for $114.5 million with $70 million guaranteed in 2016. Including endorsements, bonuses, and extra monetized monies, Von Miller is a rich man bringing in $108.5 million throughout his career thus far.
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.
