Stars Who Need Beauty Insurance!

Celebrities make a living on their appearance, and some stars really go out on a limb to keep up those appearances. So much so that many have insured their limbs…and other parts. Whether a star is best known for flaunting certain assets or she is a “total package,” there are certain celebs who will be paid exorbitant sums if those parts suddenly go out of commission. Especially if said parts are part of an endorsement deal, a la the hirsute football player, Troy Polamalu, whose long locks were insured by Head & Shoulders shampoo for $1 million. So even if the barber takes a little more off the sides than need be, Polamalu will reap the benefits. America Ferrera’s smile is far from ugly – Aquafresh Whitetrays recently insured the Ugly Betty actress’s chompers for a whopping $10 million, making it one of Lloyd’s of London’s most-valued policies. Many leggy actresses and models – and some guys who need their kicks – have their legs insured.

One of those guys who relies on his legs for a living is David Beckham, whose soccer legs are insured for a whopping $70 million; Fred Astaire insured his legs for a more modest $150,000. Heidi Klum, Jamie Lee Curtis, Angie Dickinson, Betty Grable, Mary Hart and Mariah Carey are all stars who insured their legs. Surprisingly, Carey was the heavyweight, insuring her stems for a whopping $1 billion. Dolly Parton’s trademark assets are insured at $300,000 each, a bargain for those DDs. But the weirdest policy has to be the one Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth took out in the ’80s – on his sperm. Talk about protected sex – naturally, Roth found himself in compromising positions with groupies while on tour, so in the event that one of his little swimmers got loose and impregnated someone, that $1 million policy would cover any baby daddy duties Roth might need.
