Celebrities insure the weirdest things
We all know that insuring your home and your life are pretty common these days, with so many websites offering you the chance to compare your car insurance and compare caravan insurance, it is very common indeed. Although just what will the rich and fabulous insure and how shocked are we, the general public, at their attempts to protect their prized assets?
Merv Hughes for example (former Australian Bowler) wanted to protect his famous moustache, so much so that he took out insurance on his facial hair for £225,000.
If you are into your American Football, you will know full well that the players are muscle-men who have no fear at all, unless of course the player is Troy Polamalu. Troy famous for his bushy long mane took out insurance to ensure his hair was very well protected. His hair is not insured for a shocking £650,000, which would buy him plenty of hair cuts if he happened to get a split end.
How much is your voice worth? Well if you are Bruce Springsteen, it is insured for an astonishing £3.5 million, of course being famous for his voice, Bruce can be accused of being very thoughtful and protective of his livelihood and earning power.
We all know Ken Dodd, or if you don’t know the name, the picture will bring back the memories, particularly of the teeth. Perhaps they are not the best gnashers in the world of Celebrities, but Ken is so proud of his teeth that he had them insured for £4 million, no joke.
If you could bend it like Beckham, no one would blame you for taking out insurance on your legs, so for the man himself to do the same is no huge surprise, seeing as his living is made from playing football. Although the amount his pins are now insured for may make you choke on your cornflakes a little. £44 million, which for many is more money than we can possibly imagine, for David that is the cost of ruining his career, we couldn’t possibly imagine him struggling – even with the help of the insurance payout. Could any footballer do one better than Mr Goldenballs? It appears so as Christiano Ronaldo has had his pins insured for more than his is worth. Being brought by real Madrid for £80 million, his legs are insured for a staggering £90 million.
Who else can top the leg insurance? Miss Venus herself of course – Mariah Carey, who has her legs insured for £636 million. No that is not a typo, she has the most expensive legs in showbiz when she signed to represent Gillette’s Legs of a Goddess Campaign.
