Nick Cannon, the well-known television host and father of 12, recently made headlines by insuring his testicles for a staggering $10 million. The decision, he explained, was both a strategic move to draw attention and a precautionary measure. “We know how to make noise out here, and that’s exactly what we did,” Cannon told Entertainment Tonight. He added, “I had to insure my most valuable assets. Because you hear about all these different celebrities insuring their legs… so I was like, ‘Hey, well, I got to insure my most valuable body part.’”
Indeed, celebrities like Heidi Klum have insured their legs, with Klum revealing on “The Ellen Show” that a client took out a $2-million policy for her legs. In Cannon’s case, the policy was taken out by the personal-care company Dr. Squatch. Cannon joked that he’s just “making sure nothing goes wrong” with his gonads, even though he doesn’t have plans to expand his family anytime soon.
Cannon’s prolific procreation has been the subject of many memes and much online discourse. He has leaned into the jokes over the years, even appearing in a 2022 commercial with Ryan Reynolds to promote a cocktail called “the Vasectomy,” and comforting Elon Musk last year after the tech mogul welcomed twins. Cannon told The Times last year that he never planned to have a big family. What happened, he said, is that he wanted to please the women in his life when they wanted children. “I just wanted to give them what they desired,” he said. “I kept saying, ‘I can handle it.’”
Cannon has teamed up with Dr. Squatch and their Ball Valuation Tool to determine the price of his family jewels, which are worth eight figures, according to TMZ. Not only has Dr. Squatch given Cannon the honorary title of “Most Valuable Balls,” but the men’s soap maker also took out a $10 million insurance policy through MMA/Momentous Insurance on Cannon’s testicles. Dr. Squatch’s Ball Valuation Tool asks customers to fill out a survey with questions about size, moves in the bedroom, hygiene, grooming, and accident history. It then uses the answers to determine the value of one’s precious pair.
Nick Cannon had this to say in a statement: “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. Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”
Cannon isn’t the first celebrity to insure a body part. His ex-wife, and mother of two of his 12 kids, Mariah Carey, put $35 million insurance policies on her legs and her voice. Rihanna had her legs insured for $1 million courtesy of Gillette. And the late Tina Turner took out a $3.2 million policy on her famous legs.
Cannon’s children range from his 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with Carey to his 1-year-old Halo with Alyssa Scott. He also shares six-month-old Halo Marie with Scott; 3-year-old Powerful Queen, 1-year-old Rise Messiah, and 7-year-old Golden Saigon with Brittany Bell; 3-year-old twins Zion and Zillion and 1-year-old Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon with Abby De La Rosa; and 1-year-old Onyx Ice with LaNisha Cole. He and Scott lost a 5-month-old baby to brain cancer in 2021.
“We know how to make noise out here, and that’s exactly what we did,” says the dad of 12. Nick Cannon’s baby-making organs are getting some protection. The Masked Singer host recently announced that he got his testicles insured for $10 million — and he did it because it’s his “most valuable asset.”
“I had to insure my most valuable assets,” the father of 12 told Entertainment Tonight over the weekend. “Because you hear about like all these different celebrities insuring their legs… so I was like, ‘Hey, well, I got to insure my most valuable body part.’”
The insurance was set by Dr. Squatch, a men’s grooming company Cannon is working with for a new campaign, which allows users to find the “value of their balls.” In his ad for the company, he wins the title of Most Valuable Balls.
“We know how to make noise out here, and that’s exactly what we did,” Cannon told ET about the collaboration. Cannon announced the insurance policy in an Instagram post several weeks ago. “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 said at the time. “Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”
He also clarified that he isn’t expecting to have more children anytime soon though: “[I’m] just making sure nothing goes wrong,” Cannon told ET.
Cannon celebrated his two-year-old Legendary’s birthday over the weekend and told ET he was “super impressed” with his son’s social skills. “I mean, he’s one of these kids that has so much personality and is super talkative — even at like 2!” he said. “Obviously, I got a lot of kids to be able to see [how] he’s definitely, like, more outgoing and it almost feels like he’s built for this world.”
Here’s the rundown of all of Cannon’s kids: Along with Legendary, Cannon shares six-month-old Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott; 12-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mariah Carey; 3-year-old Powerful Queen, 1-year-old Rise Messiah, and 7-year-old Golden Saigon with Brittany Bell; 3-year-old twins Zion and Zillion and 1-year-old Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon with Abby De La Rosa; and 1-year-old Onyx Ice with LaNisha Cole. He and Scott lost a 5-month-old baby to brain cancer in 2021.
Nick Cannon just found another way to keep his unmentionables in other people’s mouths — pun very much intended! During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 43-year-old host and entertainer opened up about his decision to get a multimillion-dollar insurance policy on his reproductive parts.
The policy was taken out by the men’s personal care company Dr. Squatch. “I had to insure my most valuable assets,” he told ET. “Because you hear about like all these different celebrities insuring their legs… so I was like, ‘Hey, well, I got to insure my most valuable body part.’”
Nick revealed the main reason for doing this is to make sure “nothing goes wrong,” because he doesn’t plan on expanding his family anytime soon. The father of 12 has made headlines in the past for his views on sex and having so many children, and his comments were met with mixed reactions.
Nick has twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mariah Carey, a 2-year-old with Selling Sunset’s Bre Tiesi, three children with Brittany Bell (2014 Miss Guam titleholder), two with Alyssa Scott (model), three with Abby De La Rosa (DJ and radio personality), and one with LaNisha Cole (model).
“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,” The Masked Singer host said in a press release for the brand, according to Entertainment Weekly. “Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”
