Robert Kraft is one of the most noteworthy owners in professional sports and it is all thanks to his work with the New England Patriots who remain one of the greatest dynasties in the entire history of the NFL. Kraft has six Super Bowl rings with the team, however, as part of the All In Challenge to help support charities associated with COVID-19, Kraft decided to auction off one of his rings.
As it turns out, he decided to give up his fifth ring which was actually won in 2017 when the Patriots came back from a 28-3 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons. This is perhaps the most historic championship the Patriots have and as you can imagine, it auctioned for an insane amount of money. According to TMZ, one lucky fan was able to secure the ring for $1,025,000.
That's a lot of money to spend on a ring but when you realize that it has 300 diamonds, you can't help but feel like it was money well spent. Not to mention, this is all going towards a good cause which will help numerous people as we try to get through this pandemic together.
It will be interesting to see what other kinds of memorabilia get sold during this time.
Post Malone Shows Off His Growing Jewelry Collection
Post Malone stopped by the GQ offices for an updated “On The Rocks” segment, where the musician showed off his expanded collection of icy possessions.
Post Malone decided to update everyone on his growing jewelry collection by paying a visit to GQ for their “On The Rocks” segment. where he showed off the latest pieces in his expanded stock. Posty appeared on GQ‘s “On The Rocks” segment a whole 3-and-a-half years ago, where he mostly just showed off various gold chains, but now, his collection boasts more expensive and refined items.
Since his last appearance on the segment, the jewelry afficionado has added a series of luxury watches, including a factory diamond-set Nautilus and an army green Patek Philippe Aquanaut. His most notable set of belongings in the watch department is a trio of Richard Mille pieces, which includes his post expensive timepiece: a $1 million RM-052 Tourbillon Skull Asia Edition. While he doesn’t consider himself a “ring guy,” Post owns a number of icy bands, including one diamond number that he wears on his opposite ring finger “to marry myself, because no one will ever love me like I love myself.”
Among his pieces are several gifts from fellow celebrities and past and present tourmates like 21 Savage and Swae Lee. Of course, he had to flaunt his now-infamous Dallas Cowboys star chain, which is said to have cost $250,000. Watch the full segment above, and catch his previous “On The Rocks” video below to compare.
50 Cent Claims Floyd Mayweather Has To Fight Again Because He’s Broke
50 Cent claimed that the reason Floyd Mayweather has been considering returning to the ring lately is because his “money’s gone.”
50 Cent seems to be under the impression that Floyd Mayweather has blown his massive fortune, which is why he’s been expressing interest in returning to the ring again. Fif visited Ebro In The Morning on Hot 97 this week to promote his new show, For Life, and ended up discussing his complicated beef with the boxer (8:40). Floyd recently addressed his relationship with Fif on an episode of N.O.R.E’s Drink Champs Podcast, in which he claimed he had no idea why they fell out. Fif calls bullsh*t, but declared that they supposedly don’t have any issues anymore.
“We are good,” he said. “I just don’t understand why he keep having the conversation…how am I coming up in conversations? I don’t even care what they doing.” However, he realizes that any mention of him is an intentional publicity stunt. “It only happens when it’s fight time. When it’s time to build some type of energy or some sort of press. When it’s time to make a fight, then that happens.”

Ebro later asks him if he thinks Floyd should step back in the ring. “I think he got to right now because the money gone,” he responds, to Ebro’s disbelief. “What you think? It’s fight, get the money, spend the money, fight. It’s been two years [since his last fight]. “With that lifestyle, the money’s gone, trust me. Now he’s like…he’ll be at your local hosting in a nightclub because he needs that action right now.” His certainty that Floyd has blown his whole fortune in two years is surprising, considering the boxer was named the the highest paid athlete of the decade by Forbes last year, raking in a whopping $915 million since 2010. Whether or not Fif’s beliefs are true, they both seem to be under the impression that they have no problems with each other, so maybe these two will finally go back to being best friends?
Amanda Bynes Announces Engagement
Amanda Bynes announced that she is engaged to “tha love of my life” with a post on Instagram showing off her diamond engagement ring.
Amanda Bynes let all her Instagram followers know she’s officially engaged to “tha love of my life” with a photo of her diamond engagement ring. The 33-year-old actress posted a snap of her massive rock, which she captioned, “Engaged to tha love of my life.”
Next to Amanda’s hand bearing the sparkly jewels, her fiancé’s own gold band can be seen in the photo. Amanda followed this post up with a face reveal of her future hubby, whose identity remains a mystery, though according to a source from The Blast, he’s in his 20s. The same source claims that he and Amanda met in AA and have only known each other for a few months.
Amanda’s shocking face tattoo of a crooked heart outline can be seen on her cheek in the photo, which she captioned, “Lover.” We reported on Amanda’s new facial ink back in December, though fingers were crossed that it was just drawn on with pen. It looks like it’s a permanent piece, though, so it’ll be interesting to see her walk down the aisle with the less-than-flattering tat on her wedding day.

The former child star virtually disappeared from the spotlight after publicly struggling with mental health, drug use, and body image for years. She’s had many infamous breakdown moments, including her notorious tweet about wanting Drake to “murder” her vagina. However, Amanda appeared to be doing well last year. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles in June and gave a candid interview to Paper Magazine about her downward spiral, in which she declared that she was on a better path now.
Lori Harvey & Taina Williams Show Off Matching Iced Out Rings Following Jamaica Trip
Lori and Taina display their very similar taste in jewelry.
Lori Harvey rang in her 23rd birthday this year with possibly the most lit trip to Jamaica. The formerly certified “City Girl” rented out a whole mansion and was accompanied by her new boo, Future, to the sunny spot, along with her newly established girl squad, which included G Herbo’s girlfriend and Fabolous’ stepdaughter, Taina Williams. Though the trip had to come to an end at some point, Lori has ensured that the memories will live on forever, teasing an upcoming movie she made to document the events of her birthday blowout. While she comes down from her Jamaica high, Lori joined Taina for dinner on Thursday night and showed off their new icy assets in this process.
Lori posted a story on Instagram flaunting her and Taina’s matching Amy Sehab rings, tagging Taina and writing “Wife Life.” Obviously, this is just an affectionate caption, but it was rumoured recently that Future had plans to make Lori his wife, after one of his alleged baby mamas claimed that he had told her he was going to marry Lori. So far, this has not proven to be true, but who knows what the future (or, for that matter, Future) has in store. Though it’s not certain that Future gifted Lori this piece of jewelry in particular, there could be a different ring on the horizon, perhaps of the engagement variety?
Jeremy Lin Reacts To Receiving His "Fat" Raptors Title Ring
The ring was too big for Lin’s hand.
Last season, the Toronto Raptors defied the odds and won the Championship. It was their first title in franchise history and most of it was all thanks to the efforts of Kawhi Leonard. Overall, it was a big team win that required the help of various role players. Jeremy Lin was one of those players and turned out to be a fan-favorite amongst the Toronto crowd. This season, Lin is playing overseas and recently, he finally got his championship ring.
Lin took to Instagram where he flexed the ring and asked his followers about what he should do with the piece. As he explains, the ring is fairly massive and isn’t all that lowkey. If he were to wear it in public, people would notice it almost immediately.
“Uhhhh lollll. Finally got my @raptors championship ring to Beijing and this things fatttt!! FAT!” Lin wrote. “Thank you to Toronto and all the fans who made last year so memorable. Great ending to 2019, time to make more history in 2020. The ring literally takes over my hand…taking all suggestions on how to make it a lil more lowkey or should I just flex it everywhere I go lol ??”
Regardless of whether or not he continues to wear it, there is no denying how Lin will never forget the moment he became an NBA champion.
A-Rod’s Proposal To J-Lo Shown For First Time In His 2019 Highlights Reel
Some never-before-seen footage of the A-Rod & J-Lo engagement.
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez seem to be one of the happiest couples in Hollywood, and this compilation video only serves to emphasize that. On New Year's Eve, A-Rod shared a montage of clips from the past year to highlight all of the most special moments of his life in 2019. "What an amazing year it has been!" he wrote in a tweet and on an Instagram post on the morning of the 31st. "As 2019 winds down, I am feeling so incredibly grateful and blessed. Looking back on these moments, I can’t help but smile from ear to ear. I am so lucky to be able to spend my life with those I love, doing what I love..." In the IG post, he continued with, "Thank you all for following me around on this wonderful journey. Here’s to continued success and happiness in 2020!!!"
He accompanied this sweet message with a shortened version of the full video, which rounds out to almost 25 minutes. Though the video includes plenty of adorable memories, many of which include his beloved fiancée, one clip in particular is especially intimate.
Around the 4:00 mark of the full version in a section titled, "Proposal," some never-before-seen shots of the day that Alex proposed to Jennifer during their beach vacation can be seen, including the exact moment that he popped the question. The two got engaged on March 9th of this year, and while photos of the engagement were shared, actual footage of this special occasion had never been shown to the public until now. Some sneaky cameraman filmed Alex getting down on one knee in the sand next to a bonfire, while Jennifer looks on in excited shock. She, of course, said yes, and the rest is history.
