Most of our insurance policies cover household, cars, and medical. But for some of our favorite celebs, these policies can include fingers, legs, and even facial hair. Meet the stars who've insured their most valuable assets for millions.

Kylie's Minogue's Bum

She's the first-ever woman to top the album charts across five decades, and there's no denying she's absolutely gorge. So it should come as no surprise then that the musician (and actress - she doesn't sleep) has a certain body part that is a bit more valuable to her than the rest.

It's her derriere (bum), of course, and it's reportedly been insured for a casual $5 million. If you're wondering why or how this is even possible, do yourself a favor and watch her iconic 'Spinning Around' music video. Only then will you fully appreciate why her bum is worth more than your average home.

Miley Cyrus' Tongue

Google red carpet appearance images for 'Miley Cyrus', and you'll be swamped with photos of the famous celeb posing with her tongue out. Yet with an estimated net worth of around $160 million, the singer still has taken out insurance on her tongue for a shocking $1 million.

If you've ever wondered why she's made this tongue-out pose her signature look, this is what Miley had to say about the expression: "I didn't know what to do with my face [in pictures], so I stuck my tongue out, and it became a rebellious, punk rock thing." More like, it became a money-making thing, Miley!

Taylor Swift's Legs

Taylor Swift is one of the artists of our century with her amazing musical talents and performances. Yet the singer's never-ending limbs were probs the #inspo behind her hit song, "look what you made me do," after she took out insurance on them for a whopping $40 million.

Kim Kardashian's Butt

While 'Keeping up With the Kardashians' is no longer, who could ever forget the 2011 episode where Kim got her butt x-rayed? This reality TV star got her biggest asset insured for a sweet $21 million, so fans (and Kim) will never have to worry about it getting damaged.

Even after insuring her multi-million dollar behind, Kim still plays it coy, admitting that she has no idea what all the fuss is about. In a 2012 interview, she said, "I don't get the fact, like, why it's talked about. I don't get it. Sometimes I get bored of talking about it...most women have one" - yes Kim, but not like yours.

America Ferrera's Smile

While we're out here insuring our homes, America Ferrera is insuring her pearly whites for $10 million. Yup, that's right! This protective measure wasn't entirely America's idea. After becoming the face of Aquafresh's teeth-whitening campaign, she was asked to insure her signature smile.

Mariah Carey's Legs

Gilette Venus named Mariah their first Celebrity Legs of a Goddess in 2006. While she made a hit song titled, "Touch my Body," we wouldn't recommend doing that unless you have $1 billion just chillin'. She even has a 16-foot replica of her legs at Radio City Music Hall, NYC, courtesy of Gilette.

This replica is allegedly what prompted the star to take out a $1 billion insurance policy on her legs. Let's just break this down further if you're still not shook by this all. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mariah's killer pins out-value her, as the star's net worth is around $320 million.

Jennifer Lopez's Bum

Surprise, surprise, you were waiting for this one to appear, weren't you? Jennifer Lopez's butt is rumored to be insured for a huge $27 million. Yet, after shutting down the rumors, J-Lo won't admit to it - even though so many other artists in Tinseltown are insuring their most valuable assets.

However, she changed her mind and came clean about it all during an episode of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke. She joked about what necessitated taking out an insurance policy for her bum. "Something happens to it? It disappears? Somebody steals it?"

Rihanna's Legs

Mariah Carey had to move over in 2007 after Rihanna was named Gilette Venus' Celebrity Legs of a Goddess in 2007. Just like Mariah, this too prompted RiRi to insure her legs - although, she insured them for (just) $1 million. Keep reading to find out how she keeps her body in multi-million dollar shape.

In a 2007 interview with People Magazine, RiRi shared her secrets. "I work with a trainer. We work on the arms...We work out my butt because I love my butt. [But] my legs are my main focus. I'm obsessed." We're not surprised that you're obsessed RiRi; we would be motivated too if $1 mill was at stake.

She's famous for winning Halloween every year, but this German-American model is known for a lot more too. As one of Victoria's Secret's most famous Angels and host of the popular Project Runway, Heidi Klum is a household name - and so are her legs. They're worth around $2 million.

Yet that $2 million isn't split equally. Heidi explained how in an interview, "Basically, I was in London, and I had to go to this place where they check out your legs. They would look at them, and I had one scar here from when I fell on a glass, so this [left leg] isn't as pricey as this [right] one."

Julia Robert's Smile

Julia Roberts has starred in so many iconic films, delivering lines like, "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

Holly shut down all the haters in an interview with People Magazine, explaining why she needed to insure her breasts.

James Bond, sorry slip of the tongue, Daniel Craig, the man who has starred in the 007 franchise since 2005, insured his entire body for $9.5 million while filming 'Quantum of Solace.' If you didn't know already, Daniel performed his own stunts, so we totally get this insurance policy.

Chief Stunt Coordinator on the set of Quantum of Solace, Gary Powell, later explained in an interview why Craig was allowed to perform Bond's risky stunts, saying, "He's allowed to because he's capable of doing it.

Madonna's Breasts

Material Girl, Madge, or the Queen of Pop, Madonna is one of Hollywood's most influential women. So obviously, she takes extra precautions to protect herself. Take her breasts, for example. They're insured for over $1 million, yet she knows that they won't last forever. Read on for context.

In an interview, Madonna said, "The fact of the matter is that you can use your beauty and use your charm...and you can get people interested in your beauty. But you cannot maintain that. In the end, talent is the only thing. My work is the only thing that's going to change any minds." Can we get an 'amen' to that?

Jennifer Love Hewitt's Breasts

If you've ever watched the Lifetime series, 'The Client List' you'd totally get why Jennifer Love Hewitt made it onto this list. With her impressive acting skills and head-turning looks, there was a time when Jennifer contemplated insuring her breasts, which were the envy of many.

However, turns out she never actually went through with it, explaining to USA Today, "I need, like, an assurance invitation. If somebody was like, 'Hey, you know what? We would like to insure your boobs for $2.5 million,' I'd be like, 'Do it. Love it! Why not?" Same Jennifer. Same.

Bruce Springsteen's Vocal Cords

In 1975 Bruce Springsteen shot to fame after releasing his album, 'Born to Run,' - more like born to sing. To this day, Bruce's career is still going strong. Everyone (including millennials and Gen Zs) sings along to his hit songs, which is why he just had to insure his vocal cords for $6 million.

You're looking at Jamie Lee Curtis' $2.8 million insured legs, which really do go on forever. After becoming a spokeswoman for L'eggs Reliance's long-wearing pantyhose back in the 1990s, Jamie insured her long-standing assets (excuse the pun, we couldn't resist).

While Jamie certainly has made some cash money from her looks, she wants to be remembered for way more than just that. In an interview, she said, "I don't think any woman wants to be known for being beautiful or busty. I think you want to be known for who you are." We'd also add how talented you are, Jamie.

Dolly Parton's Breasts

She is Hollywood royalty. Singing, writing music, acting, running a business and amusement park, and laughing all the way to the bank. Yet, Dolly Parton didn't insure her vocal cords as you'd think. She went ahead and insured her breasts instead for roughly $600,000.

Dolly places great value on her looks, and she's never been afraid to talk about it, saying, "A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty."

David Beckham's Legs

David Beckham firstly made it big on the football field, yet he is still raking in cash - if not more now than back then. His striking good looks and practically perfect hair makes his body a money-maker both on and off the soccer field. But it doesn't come without a price tag ladies.

In 2006, Becks had his legs insured for an estimated $195 million. This sum is so eye-wateringly huge that Time Magazine reported in 2010 that Beckham's limbs boasted the highest personal insurance policy in sporting history.

Tina Turner's Legs

Tina Turner could very well have been singing about her legs when she sang, "you're simply the best. Better than all the rest…" Okay, we'll stop, but seriously, Tina's legs were deserving of a song like this if you ever watched her perform on stage.

In the '90s, Tina had her legs insured for $3.2 million, telling Oprah in 2005, "When I was young, I used to think, 'Why do I look like a little pony?' I didn't know how to buy clothes for that.

In his memoir titled, 'Life,' Keither explains, "To write a song that is remembered and taken to heart is a connection, a touching of bases. A threat that runs through all of us. Sometimes, I think songwriting is about tightening the heartstrings as much as possible without bringing on a heart attack."

Mariah Carey's Vocal Cords

Mariah clearly knows a thing or two about body insurance. Not only did she have her legs insured in 2006, but she also decided to add her vocal cords to her insurance policy before she went on a world tour back in 2016. There's no doubt about it, Mariah loves to play it safe.

Cristiano told The Examiner, "Football in England is different; it's more physical. There are some teams who know they can't compete with you on a football level, so they just kick you. It's frustrating, and Something needs to be done to protect the skillful players because one day, someone will get seriously hurt."

Troy Polamalu's Hair

You'd think that with Troy being a famous athlete, he'd get his limbs insured. Wrong. Troy opted to have his hair insured instead. This, after representing the famous anti-dandruff shampoo brand, 'Head & Shoulders' in 2010, when the company took out a $1 million insurance policy for his locks.

"They've created the first-ever insurance policy to protect his iconic mane for the entire NFL season." Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the man's $1 million hair?

Bette Davis' Waist

Lloyd's of London seems to be the place to go to for personalized body part insurance policies. Bette Davis was one of their first clients and possibly one of the first stars to have a body part insured. In the 1940s, Bette had her waist insured for $28,000, which is equal to about $500,000 today.

Bette took out an insurance policy on her small waist as she was scared that she could lose her signature look and jeopardize her career one day. This policy would then ensure that if her career ever suffered because of changes in her physical appearance, she would still be financially covered. Nice.
