Julia Roberts
Insured asset: Smile
Amount: $30 million
She once said: “It isn’t about a smile; it is about what is inside of your smile.” Well, she might have meant a $30million insurance policy! The figure is 3x that of Ugly Betty star America Ferrera’s policy.
Madonna
Insured asset: Breasts
Amount: $2 million
Okay, the Material Girl has drubbed singer Dolly Parton, whose 40DD assets were reportedly insured for $600,000.
Jennifer Lopez
Insured asset: Buttocks
Amount: $27 million
If her recent performances are anything to go by, her booty is still doing all the talkin’. And the “value” of her derriere would certainly embarrass Kylie Minogue, who reportedly has a $5 million coverage, while Kim Kardashian is within touching distance with $21 million riding on her butt.
Taylor Swift
Insured asset: Legs
Amount: $40 million
The country-pop singer played it cool when Grazia carried a report that she is keen on taking out a $40 million insurance policy on her stunning long legs, which have as much of a stage presence as her hits Shake It Off and Blank Space. She took the bank-breaking rumour to a new level by Instagramming a picture of a scratch allegedly made by her cat, Meredith: “Great work Meredith. I was just trying to love you and now you owe me 40 million dollars.” Imagine what would have happened had the ‘crazy cat lady’ quoted a figure to match Mariah Carey’s once-upon-a-time $1 billion policy!
David Beckham
Insured asset: His body
Amount: $195 million
His 2006 policy covers more than just his magic piggies. The policy was so large that it was split among several companies, reports Time. But Cristiano Ronaldo is not off the charts, thanks to his $144 million leg insurance policy… or so the buzz goes.
Miley Cyrus
Insured asset: Tongue
Amount: $1 million
But of course! Her shows are incomplete without some tongue action –– from kissing to just sticking it out, proving the cat has not got her tongue. Yet.
Tom Jones
Insured asset:Chest Hair
Amount: $7 million
For the Green Green Grass Of Home singer, with an insatiable appetite for sex –– he reportedly had two dressing rooms, one for guests and the other for guess who and what! –– it’s about his luxurious pelt. So luxurious that we rather that it remains under wraps here.
Keith Richards
Insured asset: Hands
Amount: $1.6-2 million
The Rolling Stones guitarist is not insured against anything related to “alcohol abuse, liver failure and/or disease and osteoarthritis”, but those hands, those magic rock ’n’ roll hands, are worth big moolah.
Merv Hughes
Insured asset: Moustache
Amount: $370,000
Well mate, the Aussie pacer minus his upper-lip friend is unrecognisable. The thick handlebar-style moustache was insured during his cricketing years. Shikhar Dhawan, here’s a lesson to be learnt.
Bruce Springsteen
Insured asset: Vocal chords
Amount: $5.5-6 million
The Boss is all about hitting those deep notes. The Hungry Heart and Thunder Road singer is not alone in this quest because both Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart have reportedly taken out hefty policies to ensure a light at the end of their throaty days.
Jeff Beck
Insured asset: Fingers
Amount:$1 million each
The legendary guitarist evidently got his digits insured after hurting his index finger while chopping carrots in 2009. Play on Hi Ho Silver Lining.
David Lee Roth
Insured asset: Semen
Amount: $1 million
The Van Halen lead singer evidently got this one done for a rainy day in case a paternity suit was brought upon him by a groupie.
