7. Pamela Adlon = Bobby Hill

7. Pamela Adlon = Bobby Hill

Let's stick with the grown women playing young boys theme and introduce Pamela Adlon. Though she's an actress in her own right, Adlon is best known as the voice of Bobby Hill from King of The Hill (for which she won an Emmy Award). Adlon is one of those rare Hollywood oddities: someone who started as a child actor, worked consistently, and has enjoyed success without becoming paparazzi fodder. There's so many ways it could have gone wrong, but Adlon has remained on top through hard work and talent.

You may also recognize her as the voice of Ashley Spinelli on Recess. Her other work includes playing Otto Osworth on the series Time Squad and also starring in the series Better Things. Adlon is a woman of many talents, not just an actor. She's also a screenwriter, producer, and director.

Did You Know...

I

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.

II

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.

III

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...

IV

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.

V

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.)

VI

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.
