Insurers' insurers themselves are only glad: the more exotic is the reason for which the policy is purchased, the less likely that the insured event comes. But advertising from such shares of the company get a good. The first of our musicians insured his "working tool" - hands - guitarist Viktor Zinchuk.

The insurance company presented him as a PRESENT POLIS for five hundred thousand dollars. To use the compensation to Zinguk, fortunately, did not have to. And when the term of the advertising contract ended, the musician did not extend insurance with the payment of contributions. The press wrote a lot about Nicolae Baskov, who insured his voice to four million dollars. This is the first case in the history of domestic insurance, when the artist concluded a contract by listed in it all life risks, because of which his career may suffer. Now, if Nikolai does not be able to go on stage, having received injury or having witrated on the fault of the concert organizers, he will receive huge compensation. (Even Luciano Pavarotti rated his talent much more modest - one million dollars.)
Vitas, who recently became the hero of a loud scandal in connection with the race to the cyclist, so much appropriate with his vocal data, which, despite the presence of a policy of two and a half million dollars, regularly flies to the Foniatra - a specialist in voice from a voice that Selin Dion is observed And Madonna. In addition, his personal doctor follows the voice ligaments of the star.
Nevertheless, in some cases, insurers denied the famous customers. "A well-known sportsman-football player turned to us, who wanted to insure his male dignity, but we did not make a policy, motivating that his professional insurance and this includes any injuries," the representative of one of the Russian insurance companies told on an anonymity. When Madonna decided to insure a bust, she was politely advised to temper ambitions. After all, each singer rushed every six million (!) Dollars. A similar story happened to Valery Leontiev. The singer wished to protect himself from an accident during the jump on stage and arrange insurance on half a million dollars. But the broker, having grown about the sick knees of Leontyev, refused to register the policy on such a large amount. As a result, a Ten thousand dollars were signed. The fun situation has developed when making insurance Heidi Klum. The fact is that on the right knee the fashion model has a small scar. You can notice it, only if you look great. However, brokers decided that such a defect significantly reduces the value of the right leg of Heidi. As a result, her left leg insured two million dollars, and the right - only two hundred thousand. But Fearless Jackie Chan, who performs all the tricks on his own, without the help of cascaders, does not have any company to insure any company - what if the actor hurts on the shooting?
Facial account
Star treaties are based on the general incidence of accidents and diseases. Variations begin at the moment when a celebrity calls that part of the body that is particularly important for himself.

The main component in determining the amount of compensation becomes the client fees and the likelihood of an insured event. After that, study the habits of the star and her lifestyle. The celebrity fills the questionnaire, where he honestly answers questions about his age, bad habits, diseases, position in society and a circle of communication. For example, if the client is insured against a sharp increase in weight, he will have to pass a variety of analyzes, after which it becomes clear how physiologically inclined to completeness. After a detailed study of possible risks, the company can set a star to certain conditions. In our country, the owner of the largest "bodily" insurance is the singer Katya Razumovskaya. Her legs and chest are insured by a million euros, which causes a lot of inconvenience to the girl. She is prohibited by plastic surgery (breast increasing, liposuction, the use of corrective creams). Secondly, it should maintain a permanent weight - forty-seven kilograms. In order for nonsense to keep the leg, Katya is forced to give up riding walks, can not ride a bike, skiing, skating and rollers. If the singer is not like in something like that, she will have to pay a penalty.
Sometimes the presence of insurance can serve a star to the star. After the tragic incident with the actress Teresa Saldan, which the maniac struck fourteen knife wounds, disfigrating the face, Hollywood diva began to insure their appearance. Claudia Schiffer designed five million dollars polis. And once the insurance involved her in a rather unpleasant story. The star was filmed in the commercial of the French automotive company. According to the scenario in the final episode in the car where Claudia was located, airbags are triggered after the collision. Perspective to get a blow to the inflatable bag in the face seemed to the girl not very attractive, and she demanded a double. And got a refusal! "First, I turn for the safety of the car, and secondly, the whole world is known that your face is insured. So you have nothing to fear, "said the representative of the company. Fortunately, Schiffer appearance did not suffer.
Celebrities can afford any whim, and what will happen if it will make an exotic insurance wishes a simple mortal? It turns out that theoretically is possible. As representatives of insurance companies assure, the contract can be concluded at least to the end of life. The amount of compensation is limited only by the financial capabilities of the client. At the same time, the cost of such a non-standard type of insurance will be slightly higher than usual. But since our compatriots have preferred traditional types of insurance, there is no demand for such policies in Russia. Other business West. So, the twenty-old English woman Nicole Jones designed insurance in the case, if suddenly becomes ugly. For this, the happiness of Nicole annually gives the insurance premium of the order of two hundred pounds of sterling. In order for the insurer to pay it compensation, the size of which is determined by the six-digit amount, the woman should recognize the ugly commission out of ten builders. Her husband of the victim, who ... He himself is a builder.
