Congratulations is in order for Welsh crooner Tom Jones, who successfully had his chest hair insured for a few million.
In 1957 Hungarian-born food critic Egon Ronay insured his taste buds for $400,000. At the time, he was one of the most renowned food critics in the world.

A doctor published a report in 1984 titled ‘Injury due to falling coconut’. Afterwards, a UK travel company insured themselves against the risk. One successful claim was made.
