Julia Robert
If anyone literally has a million dollar smile, it’s Julia Roberts. The actress took out a USD30 million insurance policy for her famous beam which charmed Richard Gere and the rest of the world in Pretty Woman.
2/10
Taylor Swift
Leggy Taylor Swift who stands at a statuesque 1.78m insured her pretty pins for a cool USD40million. This was revealed after Swift posted a picture on Instagram saying her cat owes her money for scratching one of her legs.
3/10
Jennifer Lopez
Before Kim Kardashian and Beyonce were on the booty scene, Jennifer Lopez was wowing everyone with her famous derriere, so it’s no surprise that the singer took out a USD300 million insurance policy to protect her most precious ass(et).
4/10
Holly Madison
Buying insurance for your boobs might seem bizarre and unnecessary but not so if you’re a Playboy bunny and girlfriend of Hugh Hefner. Holly Madison has had her impressive D cup assets covered for a cool USD1 million.
5/10
Gene Simmons
At the height of his popularity with Kiss, Gene Simmons had a trademark move which saw him stick out his tongue whether to greet fans or pose for red carpet photo ops. Lest he bit his tongue in his sleep and lose the ability to perform his signature move, Gene insured the smallest muscle in his body for a cool USD1 million.

Julia Roberts

If anyone literally has a million dollar smile, it’s Julia Roberts. The actress took out a USD30 million insurance policy for her famous beam which charmed Richard Gere and the rest of the world in Pretty Woman.
7/10
David Lee Roth
Nobody tops David Lee Roth in the bizarre body insurance policies department. The Van Halen frontman had his sperm insured for USD1 million because he was worried his little swimmers might get a fan pregnant and he wanted to ensure he had child support at the ready.
8/10
Daniel Craig
Perhaps the reason Daniel Craig is able to play his stunt-acing James Bond character so well is because he knows come what may, his body is insured for USD9 million.
9/10
Bruce Sprinsteen
Bruce Springsteen earns his living off is million-dollar voice so it makes sense that his money-maker is insured with Lloyds of London for USD6 million.
10/10
Tom Jones
Tom Jones believes his luxurious pelt of chest hair to be a lady-magnet and his USD7 million insurance policy proves just how much he’s willing to fork out to protect his sex appeal.

Find out what prized assets some famous Hollywood stars pay millions to protect.

The average person usually buys insurance for their homes, their cars and their health. But Hollywood stars are not exactly your average Joe.

These celebrities depend on their physical appearance to earn their livelihoods and some of them will go to great lengths to protect their rice bowls. How? By taking out premiums to protect their prized assets of course!

The practice might seem preposterous to some, but it’s really a “better safe than sorry” measure when your paycheck depends on body-parts that have become your trademark or benchmark of success.

From Jennifer Lopez to Taylor Swift, see how much the bodies of the rich and famous are worth in our gallery roundup.

If you’ve got it, insure it, then flaunt it!
