These 11 celebrities, from Rihanna to Bruce Springsteen, have had body parts insured for huge amounts of money (allegedly)

As humans, we all depend professionally on staying healthy. A construction worker with a bad back can pack up, writers with broken fingers have a problem. We all just hope for the best, but some celebrities do something more: they let their pretenseInsure most important body parts. Safety first!

It has to be said: The celebrities listed here should all have their sheep in the dry and will certainly not be starving if there is no income for a while. Or?!

The currently most influential singer in the world - or at least the most successful - is also one who takes precautions: Taylor Swift. Interestingly, she is said to have insured not her vocal cords or her face, but her legs - for a whopping $40 million, as it is said. Of course, the 1.82 meter tall singer needs her legs to perform her impressive live shows. Her legs can also be seen frequently in her videos and photos. But that much money? How the National Enquirer, which first published this story at the time, came up with this is not known, but: Taylor Swift's management has since denied that this is all true. Taylor Swift showed a sense of humor about it, posting a photo on social media of one of her legs that had scratch marks from her cat and posting: “Great work Meredith. I was just trying to love you and now you owe me 40 million dollars.”

Bruce Springsteen's trademark, in addition to his extraordinary skills as a songwriter, lyricist and performer, is his grating voice. He needs it to be able to sing his countless hits, and in the event that this is no longer possible for some reason, he has had his vocal cords insured - at Lloyd's of London for six million US dollars. It would be interesting to know what contributions he has to pay per year.

Maybe she wouldn't have thought of it otherwise, but: When Rihanna was awarded the Venus Breeze Celebrity Legs of a Goddess Award from Gillette in 2007, she apparently realized what immense capital was involved - and her legs in the As a result, it was quickly insured for a million US dollars. And every financial advisor will surely agree that it is important to be on sound financial footing.

Mariah Carey is considered perhaps the biggest diva in pop. And of course the story about insuring their body parts also fits in with this. In Mariah Carey's case, it's her vocal cords that she has insured, but also her legs - all together for the paltry sum of $35 million. A sum that befits a real pop diva.

Daniel Craig is known for going all out – including when it comes to insurance. And so the actor not only had individual parts of his body insured, but his body as a whole - for $9.5 million. That was back in the James Bond era, and the reason for this is obvious: because Craig generally refrained from taking himself away from one another in difficult scenesHe preferred to exercise some caution in order to allow doubles. Understandable, right?

The hands of"The mouse won't bite a thread" are perhaps the Rolling Stones' most important asset. It is therefore understandable that Keith ensures that this capital is adequately protected. But the good guy didn't have both of his hands insured, but only a middle finger, as far as we know - but at least for 1.7 million US dollars. It's not entirely clear to us why his other fingers should be worth less, but Keith will know...

Supermodel Heidi Klum's legs are insured for a total of $2.2 million. A customer once arranged this for her. By the way, there is a very simple reason why the insurance sum is so “crooked”: one leg is worth more than the other. As a child, Heidi Klum's knee fell into a piece of broken glass and therefore has a scar on this leg. As a result, her “damaged” leg is now worth “only” one million US dollars, but the intact one is worth 1.2 million.

In 2006, almost twenty years ago, football icon David Beckham had his legs insured for the impressive sum of $70 million. And that's not all: Because a significant portion of his wealth came from advertising deals back then, his face was also insured in the event of disfigurement. However, we strongly believe that age-related facial changes are not covered by the policy.

Rock icon Gene Simmons of Kiss has arguably one of the most famous tongues on the planet. No wonder, since he has held it up to every camera imaginable for a long time and often enough. Over the years it has become his trademark and that of the band. Reason enough to take out insurance on it - for at least one million US dollars.

Miley Cyrus, whose tongue is possibly the second most famous on the planet, is also worried about her tongue. She is insured under the same contract as Gene Simmons, so the 32-year-old singer should also be careful not to speak with a forked tongue.

After the video for the songSpinning AroundKylie Minogue realized how important the butt can be in a singer's professional field and had her podex insured for a whopping five million US dollars. You have to come to it sometimes. Someone claim again that it's not all for the ass...
