Last week, TMZ reported a claim that Taylor Swift looked into obtaining coverage for her legs – and that each one on her 5’10” body was valued at $20 million, totaling $40 million for the pair.

While this report has yet to be substantiated, Swift would not be the first pop culture icon to take out insurance policies on a valued body part. 

Here are the top 10 craziest policies from the land of Hollywood, according to Business Insider:
 
10. Dolly Parton insured her allegedly 40DD breasts for $600,000
9. Keith Richards has a $1.6 million Lloyd’s of London policy to cover his hands
8. Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue has her butt insured for $5 million
7. Bruce Springsteen knows he’s “The Boss” and ensures his vocal chords for $6 million
6. Daniel Craig insured his entire body for  $9.5 million when filming “Quantum of Solace”
5. Aquafresh covered America Ferrera’s smile for $10 million when she served as its spokeswoman
4. Julia Roberts allegedly insured her world-famous smile for $30 million, so in the event of misfortune, she can still smile all the way to the bank
3. Mariah Carey allegedly insured her legs for $1 billion (with a b!), and that’s after deducting $200,000 for a scar
2. Like T-Swift and Mariah Carey, Cristiano Ronaldo also has his legs insured – but for sport, not appearance.  His have $144 million coverage.
1. The legendary Fred Astaire may have come from a different era, but he knew what he was worth.  His legs were insured $75,000 each, and he also had coverage on his wrists and arms for $20,000

 
Of course, these are just the visible parts of stars’ insured anatomies.  David Lee Roth of Van Halen has what might be the craziest – or forward-thinking? – policy of all: $1 million on his sperm, according to Cracked. 

That way, if he “accidentally” impregnates a female fan, he is safe from a potential paternity suit.
