Jennifer Aniston Sports $500,000 Engagement Ring

Over the weekend actress Jennifer Aniston brought out her engagement ring for the first time, sporting a huge diamonded estimated to be worth half a million dollars. Her soon-to-be-husband Justin Theroux reportedly popped the question on his 41st birthday.

“Looking at the ring, it’s a basic solitaire and a beautiful diamond,” designer Peter Meksian told Celebuzz on Monday. Meksian believes the ring is eight or nine carats, and is likely a radiant cut, a popular choice for larger stones. “Buying a half-a-million-dollar diamond definitely shows someone how much you love them. I’m sure she’s happy,” Mekisan said.

Photographers caught Aniston with the expensive ring during a Saturday night outing in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Her new movie, We’re the Millers has been filming in Albuquerque. While the ring may not be as pricey as Beyonce’s 18-carat piece or the 20.5 carat engagement ring Kim Kardashian received from Kris Humphries last year, there’s no doubt that she’s feeling the love.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
