The thing about celebrity engagement rings is that the longer you read about them, the more skewed your perception of ‘expensive’ becomes. A ring that cost $150,000 is no longer considered worth a second glance when you compare it to one that cost $8.8 million—when in reality, nearly every celebrity engagement ring is absurdly beautiful, large, and therefore pricey.

Like with most things in Hollywood, it is a contest, ultimately paying for bragging rights. The funniest part is, most of these marriages end up failing, and the ring ends up being another quarter million lost and gone forever (which tends to mean little to people as rich as this).
