MARIAH CAREY
INSURANCE: $70 MILLION
BODY PART: LEGS

Imagine a celebrity known for her miraculous five-octave vocal range did not insure her vocal cords, but her legs? Without her legs, she’d have to sing in concerts in a wheelchair, and Mariah Carey did not want that. Her legs are even more expensive than David Beckham’s. But the real story behind the pop diva’s ultra-expensive legs is that in 2006, she once became the face of Gillette’s “Legs of a Goddess” campaign.

The “Songbird Supreme,” now in her early 50s, shows signs that her insured gams have a high degree of importance to her. She began her career in the late 1980s and eventually became the first artist in world history to have their first five singles to become consecutive Top 1 songs in Billboard’s Hot 100. Billboard named her the nation’s best craftsman of the 1990s, while the World Music Awards respected her as the world’s top rated music craftsman of the 1990s.
