“Super Bowl City in San Francisco was more than a gracious host for the week leading up to the NFL’s season finale.”
Super Bowl 50 was quite an extravaganza. Super Bowl City in San Francisco was more than a gracious host for the week leading up to the NFL’s season finale. Levi’s Stadium, the new home of the San Francisco 49’ers, south of the city in Santa Clara, was afforded beautiful weather over the weekend, attributing to the perfect setting for the big hurrah.
As the winners of the Super Bowl L, the NFL gifted Peyton Manning and his Denver Broncos, like the many before them, an exceptional ring in remembrance of their journey through the 2015 season. Every year, a new design is revealed for the coveted item, complete with a “decent” amount of diamonds and a precious metal setting. The winners of Super Bowl 49 in 2015 rings are said to have been worth an approximate $36,500 at the time they were awarded. Though, as with any piece of memorabilia, they have and will continue to increase in worth as the years go on and the demand for said item inflates. With that being said, here are the top ten most expensive Super Bowl rings…
10. Super Bowl XXII: Valued at $40,000 when the 1987 Washington Redskins defeated the Denver Broncos in San Diego, CA at the formerly known Jack Murphy Stadium.

3. Super Bowl XXXIX: The Patriots have definitely had their fare share of Super Bowl experiences but, notably, in 2004 they beat the Philly Eagles in Jacksonville, FL with a three-point lead, 24-21. The rings are now valued at $65,000.
2. Super Bowl I: The granddaddy of them all and the one we have all been waiting for is Super Bowl I. The first Super Bowl was an intense game played between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs in 1966 in a rear-kicking, undisputed 35-10 final. The rings have been appraised at $100,000 and yet, they are not the most valuable…
1. Super Bowl XXV: Now for the topper. As with most sports memorabilia and items from history, it’s not always how old the piece is, but who once or currently owns it. In this case, it comes down to the Super Bowl XXV ring from 1991 when the Buffalo Bills walked away a bit sore after the New York Giants took the glory by one point in a 20-19 win. Lawrence Taylors’ ring is worth $230,000.
