Popular American television host Nick Cannon has revealed why he took out a $10-million insurance policy on his testicles.
The father of 12 shared that he decided to insure them because he considers them his “most valuable assets.”
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cannon explained that the idea came to him after seeing other celebrities, particularly athletes, insure body parts like their legs.
“I had to insure my most valuable assets,” he said. “You hear about all these celebrities insuring their legs, so I thought, ‘Hey, I should insure my most valuable body part.’”

Despite not planning to expand his family in the near future, Cannon said he’s simply “making sure nothing goes wrong” with his testicles. In June, the star of The Masked Singer took an unusual step to secure his future by insuring his testicles for $10 million.
Partnering with men’s personal care company Dr. Squatch, Cannon, 43, used the brand’s Ball Valuation Tool to assess his testicles based on factors like size and performance in the bedroom.
This led to the creation of a significant insurance policy through Momentous Insurance Brokerage’s Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC (MMA).
With his signature humor, Cannon commented, “Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids.”
Nick Cannon has established himself as a multifaceted entertainer, showcasing his talents in various domains of the entertainment industry.
