And you thought you'd heard it all.

Not everything about insurance has to be stuffy. According to Uniqueinterestingfacts.com, there are several policies out there that are far from boring. Some celebrities buy insurance for their body parts, for example, leg insurance (ha!). David Beckham's legs are insured at $35 million each, but he is not the only one with a leg policy. Singer Mariah Carey can top his $70 million legs as her’s are insured for a cool billion. Bruce Springsteen also took out a policy through Lloyd's of London to insure his husky voice for 3.5 million pounds. But it gets even stranger in the body insurance world. The Rolling Stones guitarist, Keith Richards, has insured just his middle finger on his left hand for $1.6 million, and Gene Simmons insured his tongue for $1 million. Proctor & Gamble insured Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu's flowing locks for a cool $1 million as this football giant is the current face (or hair) of P&G's anti-dandruff shampoo, Head & Shoulders.


But there is still one policy that tops the weird meters…drum roll please… according to Parade Magazine, actress Shirley MacLaine is the owner of one of the most bizarre insurance policies. According to the publication, this storied actress owns a multi-million dollar policy protecting her acting fortune against alien abduction. Nope, you read right. I’m still trying to figure out what the aliens will do with her cash flow, buy a new space craft, or maybe a new bike for ET? But she is not alone; in fact, more than 20,000 people in the United States have given their hard earned cash over to cover themselves in the event of alien abduction!

So my final question to you: What do you think my insurance knowledge should be insured for, you know, in case the aliens steal it?
