US TV personality Nick Cannon holds quite a varied CV. In addition to being Mariah Carey’s other half, the America’s Got Talent host is known as Mariah Carey’s partner, an actor, comedian, rapper, entrepreneur, record producer, and radio personality.
But Cannon made headlines this weekend for an altogether different reason – his diamond-encrusted Tom Ford loafers.

Worth a cool $2 million, the bling shoes were designed by Jason Arasheben for the finale of the smash hit TV competition and are currently being considered by Guinness World Records to be the world’s most valuable pair.
The shoes reportedly contain 14,000 full cut round brilliant white diamonds, which have been set onto white gold with a total carat weight of 340 carats.
It took almost a year and more than 2,000 man-hours to fashion the loafers and seven pairs were “ruined” before the show-stopping final versions were thrust into the limelight.
