Our favorite celebrities earn a whooping amount from their respective work fields. And they use their huge earnings to protect the asset that is most useful for them. In the case of celebrities, it is necessary to have life insurance. For some celebrities, it is not just limited to their house and cars. They have even insured their body assets to keep their career in the limelight. While we mere mortals don't often get the opportunity to allocate a dollar sign to our limbs, certain celebrities out there do. Here we bring you a list of the top 10 celebrities who have insured their body parts to keep their career in the limelight:
1. David Beckham (Legs): Former professional football player, David Beckham who got retired in 20213, has insured his legs for approximately $140 million through Lloyd’s of London. David clearly knew the value of his legs that took him to the peak of his career.
