At one point in time, John McCain would have been considered the most notable Arizona Cardinals fan in all of the land. Unfortunately, McCain passed away in his hometown of Cornville, AZ in August of last year so, those honors have since then been passed to country singer/songwriter, Blake Shelton. The seven-time Grammy-nominated country artist isn't afraid of the big stage himself as he's faced a multitude of didn't adversities throughout his music career. However, he has come out on top as a multi-platinum selling musician and the soon to be spouse of the ever-so-beautiful Gwen Stefani who just so happens to be a musician herself.
Unfortunately, for Shelton's Arizona Cardinals, the football organization performed the worst out of all 32 teams with a record of 3 wins and 13 losses but, luckily, will be granted the first pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. And despite his team's dismal performance, it didn't stop Shelton from showing up to team practices, attending games, and even receiving his own jersey from the franchise's executives. It takes guts to hold your team down through tough times but, Blake Shelton is loyal and it shows.
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.
