What part of your body would you say is the most valuable? For Taylor Swift the answer is apparently her legs, which she has reportedly insured for a cool $40 million.

According to the National Enquirer, the singer and her team have taken the precaution of insuring her pins ahead of her world tour, which kicks off in May. The star is said to be "embarrassed" by the large sum, but she is far from alone in erring on the side of caution when it comes to insuring body parts. Here are a few famous attriubutes in the history of show business:
