When it comes to women (particularly actors, models and pop stars) who rely upon their bodily assets for financial income, there is an inherent risk that their earning power could be ruined in the event something unfortunate were to happen to them physically.
Scenarios that are normally covered in such insurance policies include the consequences of disease, accidents and violent crime. And, the bigger the star, the larger the value of the insurance policy.
Can you guess just how much some superstar body parts have been insured for?
Rihanna
Body Part: Legs
Insured For: $1 million
Barbados born pop star Rihanna (full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty) is mostly known for her music, fashion and acting skills – in that order. Other than the plethora of awards she has won in those arenas, what you probably didn’t know is that she has also won the Venus Breeze ”Celebrity Legs of a Goddess” award by Gillette.
Delighted (and seemingly surprised/unnerved by this), Rihanna purchased an insurance policy through Lloyds of London that valued her legs at $1 million.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Body Part: Legs
Insured For: $2.8 million
More of a blogger and author in the present day, Jamie Lee Curtis once had one of the most desired bodies in all of Hollywood. If you have seen 1994′s True Lies, then you know exactly why.
Understandably, during this period in her life she reportedly took out an insurance policy to cover he legs – which had a value of $2.8 million. These days the now middle-aged actress is less concerned about strutting her stuff on screen and more interested in writing and humanitarian issues.
Tina Turner
Body Part: Legs
Insured For: $3.2 million
When appearing on an episode of Oprah in 2005, Tina Turner revealed the reasons for her wearing notoriously short dresses for most of her live performance career.
As it turns out, the Tennessee born pop singer has unusually long legs and she often found it difficult to find dresses that fitted properly.
That situation turned out quite fortuitously in the end, as her appearance on stage has become one of the defining features everyone loves about her. Realising this long ago, Tina Turner purchased an insurance policy that valued her legs at $3.2 million.
Jennifer Lopez
Body Part: Bottom
Insured For: $27 million
Jennifer Lopez argubly has one of the most famous (and sought after) backsides in the world. So much so that it has been a defining part of her career – and definitely an asset that helped her sell records and movie theater tickets.
Some reports have claimed that the latino actress allegedly purchased an insurance policy that valued her behind for an eye-watering $300 million. But based upon her future earning potential and speculated financial losses, we reckon that the real figure is more likely to be in the region of $27 million.
