Taylor Swift has nice legs. The singer's legs are so fab, in fact, that she just had them insured for an incredible amount: a cool $40 million. And the 25-year-old, who was apparently "embarrassed" when she found out the sum because she thought it would be a lot less, is just one of many celebs who have protected their best assets for the sake of their careers.
Lots of famous ladies get "protection" for their body parts. It's not nearly as uncommon as you would think.
Which one of these famous body part prices shocks you most?

Taylor Swift
Given her energetic concert performances, in which Taylor Swift dances up a storm, the star was smart to insure her long legs for $40 million. She's preparing for her next tour, which kicks off this May, so the timing is right.

Mariah Carey
Singer Mariah Carey may not put on her dancing shoes quite as much as Taylor, but that didn't stop her from insuring her legs in 2006 for $1 billion. If that seems like an obscene amount, consider this: she did it after snagging the promo opportunity to serve as the face of Gillette's "Legs of a Goddess" campaign.
Tina Turner
Tina Turner has dancer's legs — lean, strong, and sexy. Known for her amazing stage performances, Turner was one of the first celebs to make headlines for insuring her body. In her case, her legs are valued at $3 million. That's it?
Jennifer Lopez
Long before Kim Kardashian, Paper magazine, and all that oil, Jennifer Lopez had the butt of every woman's dreams. We're not sure how one hurts their backsides, exactly, but J-Lo wasn't about to take any chances: she had her famous butt insured for $27 million.
Rihanna
In 2007, Rihanna followed in Mariah's footsteps and served as a Venus Breeze "Celebrity Legs of a Goddess" ambassador. She also had her pins insured — for considerably less than Taylor's: $500,000.
Dolly Parton
Do we even have to tell you which body feature singer Dolly Parton is protecting? She had each one of her fabulous breasts insured for $300,000.

Heidi Klum
Model Heidi Klum got a bizarre offer while trying to take out an insurance policy on her legs. After she was examined, Lloyd's of London insured one of her legs for $2.2. million, but would only value her other leg at $1.2 million because it features a — gasp! — small scar.

Female celebs aren't the only ones to insure their bodies. Soccer star David Beckham makes a living using his gorgeous legs and had them insured for $70 million in case anything happens to them.
