6 Strange insurance policies (that actually exist)
2 Minute Read
When it comes to insurance, you think about insuring your car, house, or even your furry friend. But have you ever considered getting your smile insured? Or your legs? For celebrities and brand ambassadors, protecting their assets is just as important as home insurance. They'll pay big bucks to protect their money-makers.
While you may not be able to find these insurance policies through CAA, these strange insurance policies actually exist.
Legs
In the prime of his career, British soccer player David Beckham had his legs insured for just under $264 million. At the time, Beckham's policy was the biggest personal insurance policy in sports history. The policy protected Beckham's legs and feet from damage and disfigurement.
German-American model, actor, and TV host Heidi Klum also has an insurance policy for her legs. Her $2.7 million covers both legs, but Klum revealed that one leg is worth less than the other due to a scar from falling on the glass.
Voice
As a singer and songwriter, it's no surprise that Mariah Carey wants her voice protected. Carey has a $47 million policy protecting her voice. But that's not the only strange insurance policy the singer has. She also has a $47 million policy for her legs.
With 21 albums and a lengthy career, Bruce Springsteen values his vocal cords very much, so the Jersey Shore native has an $8 million insurance policy for his voice.
Smile
American actress Julia Roberts is known for her leading roles in films like Pretty Woman and for her dazzling smile, which is covered by a $40.6 million insurance policy.
Meanwhile, actress America Ferrera's smile is also protected. As the face of Aquafresh toothpaste, Ferrera's teeth were insured for $13 million.
Tongue
KISS is an iconic rock band. But even more iconic is bassist Gene Simmons' tongue. Naturally, Simmons took out a $1.35 million insurance policy to protect it.
Hair
As the face (and scalp) of Head & Shoulders, Troy Polamalu was known off the football field for his long locks. Back in 2010, Head & Shoulders' parent company, Proctor and Gamble, insured Polamalu's locks for $1.35 Million.
Body
While filming the 007 film Quantum of Solace, actor Daniel Craig had his entire body insured for $12.9 Million. Craig did most of his own stunts during his time as James Bond, so insuring his body was a necessity.
