Celebrities who've insured their body parts -

Let’s not kid ourselves: celebrities are talented (mostly), but a lot of their fame and fortune stems from their good looks. It's often what constitutes a big chunk of their paychecks.

So since their body parts are crucial to their career, stars will do anything—including take out multimillion dollar insurance policies—to make sure they’re covered if anything should happen. Many times our imagination is left to wonder what exactly could happen to a butt or a mustache, and other times there's a specific reason for the insurance, be it a career-related danger or an alien abduction. 

Check out some of the most expensive body parts of the rich and famous.

Heidi Klum -

As a supermodel, it's not hard to imagine why Heidi Klum's legs would attract a high price. On 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' Klum revealed that a client once put an insurance policy of over $2 million on her legs, and that one of her legs is actually worth more than the other.

"When I was young, I fell into a glass and I have, like, a big scar," she explained. "Obviously I put so much spray tan on right now you can't see it right now but yeah, one was more expensive than the other one." She added, "It's weird the things that some people do." Klum's right leg is reportedly valued at $200,000 more than her left.
