Kim Kardashian’s Engagement Ring From Kanye West – $2 million (or $8 million)
While some reports value Kim’s 15-carat diamond engagement ring by Lorraine Schwartz at under $2 million, others claim it’s worth as much as $8 million. The one thing we can be sure of is that Kim Kardashian does not have the golden touch when it comes to engagements rings.
Her previous one, from Kris Humphries, reportedly cost $2 million, but it was only worth $749,000 when sold through an auction at Christie’s.
Beyoncé’s Engagement Ring From Jay Z – $5 million
The singer also wears a Lorraine Schwartz creation, but hers has a more stable value. The platinum ring features an 18-carat octagon-cut diamond and it’s definitely one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings, coming in at $5 million.
Jennifer Lopez’s Engagement Ring From Marc Anthony – $4 million
Even though J-Lo ended up divorcing Marc Anthony, she kept the $4 million ring. Created by Neil Lane, the engagement ring features an 8.5-carat blue diamond. While the singer and actress still claims she’s just Jenny From the Block, if she ever sold her ring, she could buy quite a nice chunk of that block.
Paris Hilton’s Engagement Ring From Paris Latsis – $4.7 million
Valued at $4.7 million, Paris Hilton received one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings in the world. Given to her by Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, the ring features a massive 24-carat rectangular diamond centerpiece, set in white gold.

That’s understandable since her Lesotho III diamond ring features a 40.42-carat centerpiece, and it’s valued at $2.6 million.
Melania Knauss’ Engagement Ring From Donald Trump – $3 million
While Donald Trump’s New York home is practically drowning in gold, the businessman went for the subtle approach when he proposed to Melania Knauss, spending “only” $3 million on the ring.
