David Beckham’s high-earning legs and feet are insured for $70 million. The unprecedented policy in Britain is so huge that the costs have been divided among several companies.

And at the top, the legs of soul singer Mariah Carey are insured for an amazing $1 billion. With insured body parts, celebrities are making an investment, but not necessarily in insurance. The buzz generated by the notion that a celebrity’s body parts are worth a fortune can boost a career that’s threatening to stop ascending. It doesn’t just work for celebrities, either. In 2004, a supermarket insured the taste buds of its senior wine buyer for $10 million to generate publicity. The resulting media coverage helped the company’s wine sales increase by 19%.
