They Insured WHAT!!!!!!
You Won’t Believe What People Have
Insured
Searching for an affordable insurance? We all need to protect what is valuable to us and auto insurance and life insurance helps us to do so. Here is a fun glance of what others have insured.
Remember when it is your time to consider insurance take the best route and
insure at a low rate with great coverage. To be certain, odd things to insure has made a place in our world.
I remember when I
was very young my Father telling me that an actress had her legs insured for $1
million. This film beauty that appeared in many movies when they were still in
black and white must have had some amazing legs. I recall my Father saying they
were beautiful. Of course, being a young child I did not understand the whole
insurance and relevance connection. I did understand that back then one hundred
dollars was considered a lot of money. I could buy a dozen eggs for 19 cents. In
perspective one million then would be equivalent to $9.9 million now.
I visited my
Father recently to ask the name of the actress with the WOW legs. Her name is
Betty Grable and I chuckle now wondering how many reading this actually know
who she is or have had the pleasure of watching one of her movies.
Insurance
protects from loss. As an adult I now realize that having this insurance was a
way to protect her livelihood and acting career. Had she been incapacitated or
severely marred, her career could have ended instantly. So in the spirit of
curiosity I decided to find out what else people may have insured.
I’m sure most
would recognize the name of the famous dancer Fred Astaire even if you could
not pick him up out of a line-up. His
nimble dancing legs insured for $150,000 back
then. While I do a little name
dropping, some policies have confidentiality clauses. At first you may think some of these policies
are vanity; but realize companies and others who have a vested interest take
out policies to protect their investment and their contracted “money
maker.” Inflation has certainly led to
higher insurance dollar amounts.
