These famous celebrities stars have insured their body parts for millions.
The list of insured body parts is long and sometimes quite unusual. While policies for supermodels legs or singers vocal cords have become almost commonplace, some stars go a step further.
In the world of celebrity, where appearance and physical abilities are often the key to success, many stars leave nothing to chance.
Actors, musicians, models and athletes take extra precautions to protect their most valuable asset – their own bodies, by taking out insurance policies that cost a fortune.
The list of insured body parts is long and sometimes quite unusual. While policies for supermodels legs or singers vocal cords have become almost commonplace, some stars go a step further.
These assets have overtaken real estate in terms of value. They are also extremely liquid and are worth the same in every part of the world.
The hands, feet, backsides and even the recognizable smiles of stars have become the target of insurance companies.
Julia Roberts Insures Her Smile
Julia Roberts legendary smile is estimated to be worth as much as $30 million. Her smile has become a trademark since the movie “Pretty Woman” in 1990.
Just like America Ferrera
Julia is not the only one who has insured her smile. Back in 2007, the insurance company “Lloyd’s of London” estimated the actress’ smile at $10 million, while she was the face of a teeth whitening brand. America Ferrera said at the time that she was flattered to have an insured smile.
David Beckham Insures His Legs
At the peak of his career, David Beckham insured his legs for a staggering $140 million. Logical, considering that they are what made him famous.
Just like Cristiano Ronaldo
His colleague Cristiano Ronaldo went one step further. In 2009, Real Madrid insured his legs for $144 million. In the world of football, that is probably the best investment.
Heidi Klum insured her legs too
Models are no exception. Heidi Klum insured her long legs for $2 million. On a show, she admitted that one leg was worth more than the other because of a small scar.
Keith Richards – arms
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards insured his legendary arms – a tool without which the world would be left without some of the greatest riffs – for $1.6 million.
Bruce Springsteen – voice
“The Boss” wouldn’t be “The Boss” without his husky voice. Bruce Springsteen insured it for $6 million.
Daniel Craig insured his body
During the filming of “Quantum of Solace”, Daniel Craig decided to insure his entire body – for $9.5 million. The explanation? He performed most of the dangerous scenes himself.
Kylie Minogue – we didn’t expect this
Kylie Minogue is known for her energy, but also for her back – which she insured for $5 million.
Madonna – breasts
The Queen of Pop Madonna, always in the spotlight, reportedly insured her breasts for $2 million.
Mariah Carey – legs and voice
Mariah Carey decided not to take any chances with her looks. Mariah Carey has the most expensive insurance a total of $70 million, as she insured her legs for $35 million and her voice for another $35 million.
Rihanna – legs
After winning the title of “Celebrity Legs of a Goddess”, Rihanna insured her legs for $1 million, just in case. Protecting her career and source of income.
Such moves are not just a whim of the rich and famous, but a well-considered business decision. For athletes, a leg injury can mean the end of a career, while for a guitarist, a hand injury poses a serious threat to their source of income.
Therefore, insurance policies serve as financial protection in case the worst happens.
