The world's obsession with the Kardashians doesn't seem to be dying down any time soon. The famous family has been on TV with their show Keeping Up With the Kardashians since 2007, which helped them build a billion dollar empire thanks to everything from brand partnerships to cosmetics lines. It is easy to get caught up in their mystique and Jennifer Pamplona, a 26-year-old Brazilian woman, is a prime example. According to the Daily Mail, she is testing the limits of what it means to keep up with the famous family by getting 30 surgeries to look like Kim Kardashian.

Going under the knife to morph into Kim or one of her sisters isn't a new trend. Women have been shelling out small fortunes and putting their lives at risk to become a Kardashian doppelgänger for years and it can pay off big time. Many of them become social media influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers. Brands that can't afford to hire a Kardashian can still capitalize on their popularity by working with look-alikes. It sounds disturbing, but looking like Kim can be a viable business.
That has been the case for Jennifer. The former Versace model has amassed nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram alone! Just like Kim, she has her own cosmetics line and a reality TV show in the works. It sounds amazing but Jennifer has put her life in danger to get the look that made her famous. She has had eight butt surgeries, four ribs removed, and more. It was a lot for her body to handle and several doctors have refused to operate on her, which has led her to "retire" from the operating room. Today Jennifer looks nothing like herself. It has been a long road to her final look and her transformation shock you.
