A celebrity's career most often depends on their appearance or the successful performance of very specific body parts - for example, the vocal cords. It is quite understandable why they often insure their most valuable organs and limbs in the literal sense of the word for huge sums. Here are the most interesting cases of such insurance.
Mariah Carey's vocal cords
Mariah Carey reportedly has an 35 million dollar insurance policy for her vocal cords, plus another one on her feet, with the result that the total possible insurance payment reaches 70 million dollars, writes Reader's Digest.
Legs heidi klum
In 2004, Heidi Klum said that a customer had insured her legs for about 2 million dollars. In this case, the legs got different insurance: because of a scar on one leg, the price was slightly lower than that of the other.
Wine Taster Nose
When winemaker Ilya Gort found out about a man who lost his sense of smell after a car accident, he decided that he should insure his sense of smell, so as not to risk his tasting ability and fine wine analysis. The 8 million dollar policy that was purchased in 2008 has only a few cautions: they won’t pay insurance if they were injured while boxing without protection, riding a motorcycle, throwing a knife or breathing fire.
