American comedian and reality show star Nick Cannon recently insured a part of his body for $10 million. You ask, which part of the body did he insure? His reproductive organs! The father of 12 children, while talking to Entertainment Times, said, “I had to insure my most valuable asset. Because you must have heard that many celebrities insure their legs… so I thought, ‘Hey, I have to insure the most valuable part of my body.'”
While the move sounds like something out of a dystopian TV show, Cannon insists the decision was not made with the intention of adding to their large family. It might seem weird to us normal people, but Nick isn’t the only celebrity to have insured an unconventional body part. Here’s a list of all the big names who have insured their body parts over time.
Gordon Ramsay
The celebrity chef has also taken the step of insuring one of his organs – in this case, his tongue. Since Ramsay has several ventures for which he personally tastes all the dishes, it makes sense for him to insure his taste buds. The insurance plan is worth around $10 million.
Bruce Springsteen
International rock singer dancing in the Dark He took the insurance game one step further, insuring his raspy voice for $6 million in the 1980s. Even the greats have a Plan B.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas
In India, reports suggest that Priyanka is one such celebrity who has insured her lips for $10 million. Could this be the reason for her ‘million dollar’ smile?
Heidi Klum
The supermodel has insured her legs for $2 million. But that’s not the strangest thing! What’s unique about this case is that both of her legs are insured for different amounts; one is considered more expensive than the other because of a childhood scar.
Mariah Carey
The American icon and singer reportedly had her legs and voice insured for $35 million during her Sweet Sweet Fantasy. This is not a bad move, because if either of them fails it can cause huge losses.
