Paris Hilton Has Had 3 Eye-Wateringly Expensive Engagement Rings
Paris Hilton is synonymous with exaggerated glam, from her Y2K outfits she rocked in the 2000s to her expensive jewelry. "The Simple Life" star has received some of the most expensive engagement rings in celebrity history, all multimillion dollar diamonds with carat counts beyond our dreams. Her latest addition came from her husband, Carter Reum, who proposed in 2021 with a romantic yet luxurious circlet. With the help of jeweler Jean Dousset, designer of some of the most expensive rings ever, Reum came up with a three-stone engagement piece with a shape inspired by the Grand Palais in Paris.
In the center of the ring is a 10 to 20-carat white diamond, complemented by baguette-cut and trapezoid gems that added architectural elegance to the design. While the exact specifications have never been publicly confirmed, experts estimated the ring's value at around $2 million, placing it among the most expensive celebrity engagement rings. For Hilton, this ring represented a new chapter in her life, as her previous engagements never made it down the aisle. Hilton and Reum did. They got married in November 2021 and welcomed their two children, Phoenix and London, in 2023.
Paris Hilton's two previous engagement rings total $7 million
Before Carter Reum, Paris Hilton was engaged to actor Chris Zylka, who proposed during a ski trip in Aspen, Colorado, in January 2018. Zylka gave Hilton a breathtaking 20-carat pear-shaped stone designed by jeweler Michael Greene. This ring was valued at $2 million, too, and it made headlines for its size and price tag. Despite their engagement ending less than a year later, the reality star held onto the ring after their split. In 2018, during an interview on Jenny McCarthy's Sirius XM show, Hilton justified this decision as a fair trade. "[He] got millions and millions of dollars of free publicity," she said (via People).
In May 2005, Hilton's then boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, presented her with 15 different engagement ring options, including designs by renowned jewelers Tiffany & Co and Harry Winston. Ultimately, she chose a 24-carat bauble with a whopping $5 million price tag, making it one of the 20 most expensive celebrity engagement rings in the world. Sadly, in September of that same year, Hilton called off the engagement. "We remain best of friends, and I'll always love him. I hope people will respect my privacy during this emotional time," she told US Weekly (via People). Whether Hilton's relationships have lasted or not, the heiress' engagement rings are unarguably as iconic as herself.
