Meet the woman who holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest collection of Barbie dolls. Bettina Dorfmann, a resident of Germany, is the proud owner of an astounding 18,500 Barbie dolls in her residence.
The 62-year-old’s collection ranges from 1960s models to present day ones – and she says she’s not done collecting just yet. Bettina’s love for the world-famous Mattel doll began when she was 11-years-old.
With a mind-blowing collection of 18,500 Barbie dolls, Bettina Dorfmann, 62, has been known as the world’s biggest superfan of the iconic doll.
In the books of Guinness World Records, she holds the title for having “the largest collection of Barbie dolls” — a tag she has held since 2005 when her collection was just at 2,500.
By 2011, her collection grew to 15,000 — now, it’s 18,500.
“I love Barbie dolls because I played with them in my childhood, and it was a very good time for me,” she told Guinness World Records in an interview.
Dorfmann got her first Barbie when she was five years old in 1966. Then in 1993, she started building her collection.
Barbie was first launched by American toy company Mattel, Inc. in 1959, and quickly became a worldwide phenomenon.
