Here’s a top ten rundown of the limbs, appendages, hair and bodily fluids that stars have forked out on – in reverse monetary order.

10. David Lee Roth’s $1million (£670K) sperm


The Van Halen frontman would have surprised no-one if he’d spent money protecting his vocal chords.

But he turned heads in his band’s 80s heyday when he took out a $1million policy on his sperm.
Roth splashed out on his little swimmers to cover himself in the event he impregnated a groupie and, as a result, was hit with an expensive paternity suit.

And, if reports are to be believed, he went on to take full advantage of his cunning scheme – without fear of split condoms...

9. Keith Richards’ $1.6million (£1.1m) hands


In fairness, the Rolling Stones guitarist would definitely be out of a job if he lost his hands.

So it was a shrewd move on his part to protect his chord-playing appendages in the event of a hedge-trimming or tree-felling catastrophe.

The insurance package covers both hands and, when asked about the policy, he waved his arms and said: “These are my business"

After all, he wouldn’t get much Satisfaction playing a guitar with no hands...

8. Heidi Klum’s $2.2million (£1.5m) legs


It makes sense that the German supermodel would insure the two things that enable her to walk up and down catwalks the world over.

Oddly, one of her pins is insured for $200,000 less than the other due to a scar on her knee.

She told The Sun: “They are different values because I have this little scar.

“I had to be examined in London. A guy came and inspected my leg.”
Lucky guy...

7. Dolly Parton’s $3.8million (£2.5m) boobs



Without doubt, country queen Parton has become as known for her gargantuan lady mountains as she has her singing voice.

Therefore, it made total sense when she took out a policy on her 40DD assets – realising she wouldn’t be who she is without them.

They were initially insured for $300,000 each but inflation (no pun intended) has caused their value to swell (again, no pun intended).

As well as enriching the pockets of her insurers, her bountiful boobs have helped to make Parton minted...

6. Rod Stewart’s $6million (£4m) voice



The ageing rocker wouldn’t be able to wake up Maggie or say anything to her if he lost his voice.

More importantly, his career as a singer would be over.

He was alerted to the merits of insurance after fearing his voice had been irreparably damaged following throat surgery in 2000.

Stewart is now protected to the cool tune of $6million in case his much-loved raspy vocals do a disappearing act.

5. Tom Jones’s $7million (£4.7m) chest hair



Granted, it’s not unusual to be loved by anyone.

But it’s downright bizarre to put a price tag on one’s bodily follicle growth.

That said, Welsh legend Tom thought his success was as much down to the forest spilling out of his open shirt as it was his warbling tones.

So he paid out on a $7million policy to cover losses of earnings if his chest hair spontaneously combusts...

4. Jennifer Lopez’s $27million (£18.1m) buttocks



J-Lo has made a name for herself as a star of both film and music – but she’s also much-admired for her bulging backside.

Fearing she’ll hit rock bottom if her peachy buttocks abandon her through injury or the merciless perils of nature, the singer/actress made financial arrangements to guarantee she wouldn’t be too down in the dumps if her worst nightmare came true.

Losing one’s bum cheeks isn’t a chief concern of many, but J-Lo clearly values her booty highly.
Well, $27million to be precise.

3. Michael Flatley’s $40million (£26.9m) feet


Irish super-hoofer Flatley would have faced a much greater challenge becoming the Lord Of The Dance without feet.

The 54-year-old has made a career out of his speedy trotters and spent big to ensure he’d live comfortably – financially, at least – should his feet either fall off or stop working.

He’s not the kind of fella hapless female dancers would want to boogie with at a party.

One accidental misstep could cost the dancer his day job and push the perpetrator into bankruptcy...

2. David Beckham’s $70million (£47m) legs



Let’s face it, David Beckham wouldn’t have captained England or won countless accolades with no legs.

The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder took out what is thought to be the largest personal insurance policy in sports history in 2006.

It’s claimed Becks will receive the mammoth pay-out in the event of an injury to his legs, feet or toes that would force him into retirement.

The fact he’s a fan of riding motorbikes must send his premium soaring...

1[b]. Mariah Carey’s $1billion (£670m) legs [/b]


The singer stumped up for her stumps after she was awarded Gillette’s Legs Of A Goddess prize.

Winning the award apparently awakened the pop diva to the popularity of her pins, and subsequently insured them for a bonkers $1billion.

Adding to the absurdity, Gillette commemorated Carey’s limbs victory by having a statue of her legs made.

Naturally, she sparked widespread bafflement with her financial arrangement – on the basis she could still shatter glass with her vocals without legs.

Certified Madness

i shall be the first and not the last says the da Lord

mtchewwwwwww

idrisolaide: Certified Madness

I'm totally short of words here. Hands, Feet, Legs I could understand but Chest Hair? Buttocks? Boobs? Err, Okay, Boobs aint that bad.

Now, I really want to start an insurance firm.

Anyone on here wanna insure their Nairaland handles? You know, in the unfortunate event of a ban?

NEXT,PLZ...

I want to insure my MEGABYTES....

VANITY...
WELL SHA! ONE MAN'S CEILING IS ANOTHER MAN'S FLOOR...

Poverty reporting live on Nairaland. Op get a life and stop poking ur long nose into peepz life.

Vanity upon vanity,all is vanity,those that observe lying vanity forsake their own mercy.It is good to insure our so called 'assets' but most of us do not see the need to live with eternity in view.I pray God will help us all.

MADNESS TO THE HIGHEST ORDER

Millions are starving nd dis ppl are wasting money on chest hair. I can understand Beckham's own but d rest are just plain crazy

Wow! I can't say I blame them, but $1bn for Mariah Carey's legs? What legs? And J'Lo insuring her behind? Those flat Sahara plains.

Too much money na hin just dey worry all these people...

Chest hair!!!
SMH...

executinal: MADNESS TO THE HIGHEST ORDER

bros, is not madness. Insurance business is not for people that cant eat satisfactorily.

These bunch of f-o-o-l should visit the morgue and they would understand that it's vanity on vanity! I dissect the human body on daily basis, most of them never knew they would end up in gross anatomy laboratory.

Let them donate this money!

Pls, I want to insure my D**k for any fine lady

This's what you get when GEJ spends a million dollars (from a poverty fund) to bring beyonce to Nigeria...smh...I won't be surprised if that same GEJ has insured his hat sef, and yes, with Nigeria's money.

j.lo insuring her buttocks 4 close 2 30 million dolls makes no sense 2 me, nd as 4 maria carey, she should insure her vocal cords rada dan her legs, she's known more as a singer

Insure chest hais, hand, voice, feet or even buttocks! No wahala if u gat d money. Bt den, y nt we think of insuring our lives A life insured in God's company will always reap dividends. Fink abt it!

Mariah carey insuring her mosquito legs for $1 billion USD? Thats wow!!!!!!

This is crazy. Why would i insure my boobs? Na wa o

I want to insure my p.u.n.na.ny.

Some will sleep in the morning,some at noon day and other will go to bed at night,but the truth of the matter is that all will surely go to bed.The great question we should all be asking ourselves(myself inclusive) is where are we going to spend eternity?It is unfortunate that most of us never prepare for eternity,we are too religious and iniquity abounds everywhere even in our so called cathedral,the church has become so worldly and the world has become 'churchy',there is no distinct distinction between the church and the world again,revival has become history and holiness of life has become a taboo. I strongly believe that missing HEAVEN is much more than crying,if I miss heaven I will cry but by then it will be too late to repent and here on earth Nairalander will be typing RIP TO THE DEAD.It is high time we awake from our spiritual slumbering,spiritual barrenness and be awake to HOLINESS OF LIFE WITHOUT WHICH NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD.

Dear Nairalander,cant we see that most of these so called celebrities are morally and spiritually bankrupt and yet we make them our mentors to the detriment of our souls.VANITY UPON VANITY.............

I would like to insure as well when I get to their level.

Mariah Carey insured her legs with one billion dollars? Is she a billionaire?

Chest hair? haha,when yoruba adage says "ALASEJU BI IRUN AYA" in yoruba land they regard chest hair as over do.
This is nothing but a festival of madness

Ok.I'm happy for them
