Ol' Dirty Bastard also known as Dirt McGirt, Osirus, Big Dirt, Ason Unique, and Big Baby Jesus is one of the most eccentric hip-hop personalities of all-time. As one member of the notorious Wu-Tang Clan, his unique cadence and vocal ability were utilized in order to curate some of the dopest choruses for the group's projects. His performance on 'Shame On A N****' and 'Protect Ya Neck' has influenced many hip-hop enthusiasts to favorite those particular tracks on Wu Tang's classic debut album.
ODB's solo projects produced mainstream hits like 'Brooklyn Zoo', 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya', and his legendary verse on Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy [Remix]. Unfortunately, McGirt ran into legal troubles after an MTV documentary showed the rapper pulling up to a local New York welfare office in a limousine with his family in order to receive benefits. Things took an even bigger turn for the worse after he passed away from a drug overdose in November of 2004, two days before his birthday. Rest in power to the Ol' Dirty Bastard.
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.
