Heck, my piano tuner's ears are insured for $50,000. I don't see anyone who makes a living with certain body parts NOT insuring them.

I'm surprised it's only 7 figures. I don't know how many concerts he plays/year, but at his rate of 75K/concert he'd make in the high 7 figures in one year of 100 concerts not including all his endorsements and record deals.

It's a very long article, but it mentions near the start that Lang Lang's hands are insured for a 7 figure sum. What about his face?
