15 Most Expensive Celebrity Body Parts by Nobody: 6:39pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
Currently, the Internet is buzzing with rumors about Kim Kardashian’s backside. No, not the #BreaktheInternet stunt. It’s about the value of her rear. Some say that Kayne West got her to insure her booty asset for $21 million. Uncharitable wags say that KW is seeking to insure his voice, but no insurance company thinks it is worth as much as he does. A few years back, reports of the then reigning booty-queen, Jennifer Lopez insuring her backside for up to $300 million were denied by her camp. Insuring celebrities’ body parts goes back to the early days of movies when cross-eyed silent film comedian, Ben Turpin insured against his eyes becoming uncrossed. In the 1940s, actress Bette Davis, prone to put on weight, was insured against an increase in her waistline. And World War II pin up, Bette Grable’s long limbs were insured for a cool $1 million. http://www.therichest.com/luxury/most-expensive/15-of-the-most-expensive-celebrity-body-parts/ |

1. Mariah Carey – Legs $1 billion From the same people who insured Rihanna’s legs for $1 million – Gillette razors also tapped Mariah Carey for its “Legs of a Goddess” campaign and insured her legs for $1 billion. So why are Carey’s legs a thousand million times more valuable than Rihanna’s? Just consider this, Marilyn Monroe’s legs were reportedly insured for $10,000 back in the 1950’s. And even with inflation, it’s still a far cry from a million, let alone a billion. 2. Kylie Minogue – Butt $5 million Rumor has it that Kylie Minogue insured her pert little butt to the tune of $5 million. The Australian pop star certainly still has it all, doing a spoof of the famous Coppertone ad at the age of 46, for the the cover of Italian GQ Magazine. There she is on a beach, clad in a bikini, with a playful dog tugging down her bikini bottoms. We wonder how much Nicki Minaj’s backside would appraise for if she ever decided to insure it. 1 Share

3. Bruce Springsteen – Voice $5.7 million “The Boss” certainly can belt out a song, sometimes yell out a song, and his distinctive rough, gravelly voice is his fortune. So, no one was surprised when the golden vocal chords were insured for nearly $6 million. Rod Stewart took out a policy for around $6 million. Singer Tom Jones was rumored to have taken out a $7 million policy — on his chest hair. 4. Gene Simmons – Tongue $1 million Back in the 70’s Gene Simmons and his band Kiss, were bad, mad rockers. The make up and costume says it all. His signature was sticking his tongue out. Maybe Miley is channeling his 70’s vibe. Back in the day, rumor had it that he had his tongue surgically enhanced. It certainly has an unnatural something to it. And just in case, he insured it for a cool million. In today’s terms, that’s the equivalent of $4 million, give or take.

5. Holly Madison – Breasts $1 million Former Playmate, Hugh Hefner squeeze, and certified 36D is a model, showgirl and television personality. She was on Playboy’s Girls Next Door (aka “The Girls of the Playboy Mansion”) TV series. Her trademark breasts are her defining asset. And so she has insured them for $1 million. A million seems like a lot considering Dolly Parton’s policy on her twins was only for $600,000. But when you factor in that Madonna’s less ample equipment was insured for $2 million, it seems to even out. 6. Claudia Schiffer – Face $1 million 80’s supermodel and German wunderkind, Claudia Schiffer reportedly had a $1 million insurance policy on that gorgeous face of hers. The face that graced over 1,000 magazine covers was beautiful and sexy. She has also been quoted as saying that she turned down over $1 million to “date” a sheikh. Apparently, he asked her out to dinner and was willing to pay for everything.

7. David Lee Roth – Sperm $1 million Take Van Halen lead singer and rocker, David Lee Roth’s tendency to spread himself around with women, from groupies to backing singers, and this is not such a crazy idea. Think of it as insurance against getting toasted in a paternity suit, and it seems to make perfect sense. Some reports say that the actual insurance was on his penis, dubbed “Little Elvis”. 8. David Beckham – Legs $70 million Soccer wonder David Beckham has had a sterling career. Charismatic on and off the field, married to Posh Spice Victoria, with male model good lucks, he is the epitome of sports cool. And those famous legs? Apparently they are worth $70 million and he has the insurance policy to prove it. Other reports claim that there is also a whole body policy on him in the amount of $195 million. Sounds incredible, until you factor in the idea that Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo’s legs are insured for $144 million. And at 29, he’s 10 years younger than Beckham.

9. Daniel Craig – Whole body $8 million Like Jackie Chan, Daniel Craig likes to do some of his own stunts. If you are a minor cast member in a film, that is one thing. But if you are Bond, James Bond, and you are making Casino Royale, and you want to play a little rough, then the money-people get worried. Reportedly, Craig’s hunky bod was insured for some 5 million pounds (about $8 million) when he was filming Casino Royale. Apparently, Craig is insured for most of the films he makes 10. Kim Kardashian – Buttocks $21 million Many say that Kim has dethroned JLo from the most discussed backside throne. She certainly has it on display at the drop of a hat. She and Kayne are rumor magnets. Did she inject fat into the famous butt? Did he or did he not commission a nude portrait of her as a wedding present? Did he give her 10 Burger King franchises to mark their nuptials? And did he convince her to insure the Kardashian booty for $21 million? No word from the celebrity’s mouth, but the Internet rumor mills are convinced it is a fact.
