Top football players who have insured their body parts

Insuring your body part has become pretty common and often these insurances are for a large sum of money. Many famous personalities across the globe have insured their precious body parts. Kylie Minogue has insured her bum for £100 million. Julia Robert’s smile and Rihanna’s legs are also insured for large sums of money.

Many football players have adopted measures to protect their body parts, with the goal of safeguarding themselves from potential injuries that could have a negative impact on their careers. In the world of sports, especially football, injuries are quite common. As a result, footballers, either on their own or through their associated brands, pursue insurance coverage for specific body parts.

Here’s the list of the top football players who have insurance for their body part:
