Sydney Sweeney – Priceless
With her career going stellar amid the continuing spotlight on her 34DDs – all natural, of course – we reckon that a price can’t be put on Sydney’s breasts. The 27-year-old star of Anyone But You, Euphoria and The White Lotus has seen her profile skyrocketing due to the endless obsession on her boobs, which she’s more than happy to lean into. She even addressed the controversy by posting a photo of herself on Instagram, wearing a sweatshirt which read ‘Sorry For Having Great Tits And Correct Opinions’.
When she appeared on Saturday Night Live in March, Sydney played up her breast assets as a waitress at restaurant chain Hooters (where they wear tight, low-cut T-shirts) as her co-star Bowen Yang referred to her ‘heavy naturals’, and it was all her idea, he claimed. ‘She came in and was like, “Please, everyone, make jokes about my boobs.”
Madonna – $1.8million
The Material Girl lives up to her name, with reports that her perfectly formed chest has reportedly been insured for a whopping $1.8million – that’s $900,000 per breast. Madonna, who loves showing them off in corsets, decided to get her assets covered over fears that her career would suffer if anything happened to them. Whether they are encased in the iconic gold Jean Paul Gaultier corset or a black lacy bustier or shocking fans by being fully on show, the Queen of Pop, 66, is definitely protected on that front.
Holly Madison – $1million
Ex-Playmate and reality TV star Holly insured her famous 36Ds for $1million with Lloyds of London in 2011 to protect her breast assets during her Las Vegas production, Peepshow. ‘I’ve heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not?, because if anything happened to my boobs, I’d be out for a few months and I’d probably be out a million dollars. I thought I’d cover my assets,’ she said of the policy.
Holly appeared topless in the burlesque show, hence the protective measure. She got her A-cups enhanced in 2001. The 44-year-old star, who was in Girls Next Door and was a former girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, added, ‘I think they’re getting the credit they deserve. They’re my primary money makers right now.’
Tina Turner – $790,000
After taking out an insurance policy on her voice ($3.2million), legs ($3million) and face ($790,000) with Lloyds of London, the late What’s Love Got To Do With It singer covered her boobs for $790,000 in 2000, ahead of her Twenty Four Seven European tour that year.
Her spokesperson said the $8million policy is standard procedure. ‘Putting it simply, Tina’s worth her weight in gold,’ they said. It came after the Private Dancer star insured her famous legs for $1million at the height of her career, in the ‘70s.
Dolly Parton – $600,000
Country legend Dolly is known for her platinum blonde hair, Tennessee twang and ample bosom – so it’s no wonder that she took out insurance on her boobs, according to 2010 reports. The star, 78, is rumoured to have insured her 44DDs for $600,000 – $300,000 per breast.
‘I’m in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they’re show horses or show dogs. They’re an attraction,’ she said. ‘It’s just smart business. If something happened to my boobs, I’d be out of business.’
However, Dolly has since laughed off the rumours. ‘Years ago, was it [actress] Betty Grable, or one of the great famous stars that was famous also for her legs? At that time, I said, “Well maybe I should get my boobs insured since I’m famous for them”,’ she said in 2022. ‘It was just a joke.’
Pamela Anderson – $35,000
‘I’ve always been authentic – except for my boobs,’ said Pamela. The Baywatch bombshell became one of the most famous women worldwide when she increased her 34C breasts to a 34DD in 1990. But nine years later, she had the implants removed as she embraced the natural look. ‘It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and I’m very happy with my decision,’ she said. ‘I feel like I’m a petite person and just having these large breasts was, it just didn’t feel right anymore.’
However, she had them replaced in 2004, this time going up to a buxom 36DDD and then a 38H. She has since had them taken out and gone all natural. ‘I just wanted my body to return to its original state.’
Heidi Montag – $30,000
Going from a size A to a 32C in 2007 didn’t fill The Hills star Heidi with happiness and she wanted to go bigger. Three years later, she increased her assets to a 32F, going under the knife to endure nine other procedures in the same day including rhinoplasty, liposuction and chin reduction. ‘I always wanted implants growing up, because my grandma had really big breasts,’ she said.
Heidi had second thoughts about her sizeable boob job when the implants, weighing around 3lbs each, caused health struggles such as a ruptured disc in her neck, pinched nerves and severe back problems. ‘They were so heavy they were falling through the skin. I was in pain all the time,’ she said.
She had her F-cup implants removed in 2013, and is now back to a C. ‘I definitely regret the surgeries that I have had over the years,’ she said.
Denise Richards – $25,000
Having undergone three procedures before getting her perfect breasts, Denise Richards is thought to have spent an estimated $25,000 on them. She first went under the knife when she was 19, which she soon regretted. ‘I was flat as a board and I thought, “Whoa, you can just buy them” and stupidly had them done,’ she said. ‘I was so young and didn’t research doctors and had complications.’ She then went for corrective surgery but the second doctor increased them to a D-cup instead. ‘Even after several consultations, the doctor still put in what he thought I would want and they were bigger,’ she recalled. Luckily, the third operation was a success. ‘This is the size I wanted to look at 19. There is a long investment with breast implants,’ she said.
Kelly Rowland – $15,000
Destiny’s Child singer Kelly paid around $10,000 to enhance her modest As to Bs in 2007, a decision a decade in the making. ‘I wanted to get breast implants when I was 18, but my mum and Beyonce’s mum told me to really think about it first. I took their advice and waited ten years,’ she said. ‘I was sick of not fitting into my tops. There was this one really hot House of Dereon top – I just wanted to fill that out!’
Kelly wanted a little boost, and nothing too OTT. ‘I didn’t want to have double Ds and be a little bitty size two (UK size six) – that would look nuts! I feel complete. I like it,’ she added.
Carmen Electra – $10,000
Former Baywatch starlet Carmen had a boob job in the late ‘90s because she wanted to feel more confident and wasn’t happy with her 32B breasts. She had her assets boosted to a DD, after being assured that bigger boobs would improve her life and career.
‘I didn’t want to go as big as that. I could have left myself alone – I think I was fine the way I was. I had nice breasts before, though they were small,’ Carmen said. ‘They weren’t the biggest boobs, but I just think it was really trendy [to have implants] at a certain time and I decided to do it. I wish I would’ve just stayed natural.’
Carmen revealed that her then-husband, rocker Dave Navarro, wanted her to go ‘bigger but I said no’.
