Tina Turner had to hand over a hefty check after she reportedly got her legs insured. According to The Mirror, the “What’s Love Got to do With It” singer paid 3.2 million dollars to make sure her best assets were covered. But, what does it really mean to insure your legs or any body part for that matter? According to Trusted Choice, “The purpose of body part coverage is to supplement lost income if a body part is damaged, injured, scarred, handicapped, or lost.”
Essentially, if something serious happened to Turner’s legs and it affected her income, the insurance company would have to fork out the money for it.

While it’s still unclear if Turner insured her legs or not, she definitely knew how much people adored them. She told The Sun, “Sometimes I think I’m as famous for my legs as much as my voice. I only had my legs on the show so much as it made it much easier to dance … And then it became part of my style.” Ultimately, the focus she received regarding her legs helped the musician build significant confidence. She said, “When I was younger I never felt confident about any part of my body, but with all the attention my legs received, I realised they must be OK!” Her legs were definitely ok, especially if they were insured for 3.2 million dollars!
