Jackass: Insurance charges crew hospital bills – some give their bodies for science, others for entertainment. The crew of “Jackass” has done this so often over the decades that almost everything in the members’ bodies has been destroyed in one way or another. Over time, that turned out to be very expensive, as is now shown by the calculations of an insurer.
The Nova Legal Funding platform obviously also knew that Johnny Knoxville once popped an eye out of the cave or that Steve-O not only lost a number of teeth in insane actions. The insurer, which normally evaluates and pays legal costs for private individuals, added up the injuries suffered by members in the form of general hospital costs. The result:
$ 24 million. At least.
That is the equivalent of around 20.9 million euros, which had to be paid for various interventions and emergency measures. Mind you, only for the leaders and most famous faces of “Jackass”. According to the estimates of the platform, the whole team together account for the equivalent of 38 million dollars: 32.1 million euros.
The most expensive candidate (further details without conversion, all values rounded) is Knoxville, whose various treatments devoured $ 8.6 million in the course of his career: including a cerebral hemorrhage for 2.5 million, bruises and concussions worth 4 million, one Genital Injury for $ 120,000 and a scalping for $ 150,000.
Bronze, silver and … breakage
Ehren McGhehey broke his neck three times, which, together with four broken nose, nine knee operations and a smashed back, cost him a total of 7.38 million and thus earned him questionable silver. Third in the ranks is Steve-O, for whom a total of $ 5.82 million was due.
Steve-O’s body, through tireless efforts as a living work of art from the action comedy, demanded about 900,000 US dollars for a skin graft after a 15 percent burn. Seven splintered teeth resulted in a $ 350,000 case, vertebral incidents devoured 800,000 and a fractured skull as much as $ 1.75 million.
Happy connection:
Far behind are Dave England with treatment costs of 1.65 million US dollars, Jason “Wee Man” Acuña with 675,000 and Preston Lacy with 75,000 US dollars. Ouch.
