To be totally honest, Trish Stratus was never a technically-skilled wrestler, but the blonde bombshell did develop a sound wrestling game throughout her tenure as a pro-wrestler. Her introduction into the WWF/WWE, Stratus was known for being a sex symbol and featured in a plethora of sexually-themed storylines including having a temporary affair with WWE CEO, Vince McMahon and serving as a manager for Test & Albert's tag team duo, T&A, which also was slang for 'Tits & Ass.' Fortunately, Stratus' persona fazed out as her career grew and she became one of the most embraced in-ring performers for her passionate performances. Her Stratusphere top turnbuckle Headscissor takedown and Stratisfaction Springboard Bulldog finishers are proof of her growth as a wrestler.
Prior to making her WWF/WWE debut in March 2000, Stratus born, Patricia Ann Stratigeas, was a fitness model. Trish quickly became the face for the WWE Divas during her initial six-year stint with the WWE. Stratus holds the record for WWE Women's Championship honors with a total of seven times and even held the WWE Hardcore Championship once as well. The record-setting wrestling would go on to retire for the first time in 2006 and periodically return to the WWE from 2007 to 2019 before officially calling it quits. In 2003, Stratus was named Diva of the Decade and in 2013 was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
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.
