Hailing from Chico, California is current NFL quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers next on the list. What Aaron Rodgers has been able to accomplish over the past decade and a half has been nothing short of simply amazing. No matter the situation he and his team may find themselves in, Rodgers has the poise and leadership qualities to steer his team in the right direction towards success. Prior to playing for the California Golden Bears, Rodgers played at Butte Community College for the 2002 season. In two seasons at the University of California, Berkeley, Aaron Rodgers finished his career with an insane passer rating of 150.27, 17-4 overall record, and 2003 Insight Bowl MVP honors.
In the 2005 NFL Draft, Aaron Rodgers was selected 24th overall by the Green Bay Packers. For his first three seasons, Rodgers would rarely see the field, however, when starting quarterback and Packers legend Brett Favre announced his retirement in January 2008, Rodgers knew it was his time to step up and lead the Packers back to the glory land. In twelve seasons as a starter, Aaron Rodgers has raked in two NFL MVP honors (2011 and 2014) and helped the Packers win a championship in Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers where he was also named Super Bowl MVP. After leading the NFL in touchdown to interception ratio four times, Rodgers currently holds the NFL all-time regular-season record for career passer rating and is one of two quarterbacks in history to have a passer rating of over 100 in a single season. With gas still left in his tank, Rodgers has the opportunity to continue building his case for best quarterback 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.
