This British woman spent $30,000 to look like Kim Kardashian

Well, now we know: It costs $30,000 to keep up with the Kardashians. Clare Leeson, a 24-year-old British woman, reportedly spent that amount to transform herself into Kim Kardashian after she became obsessed with the reality star.

According to the U.K. Metro, Leeson has undergone various procedures, the most extreme being breast surgery, and she is currently saving up for rear end implants to look like her 33-year-old idol.

"When I get my Kimmy on I feel like I’m unstoppable and untouchable and I feel like no one can stop me and I can make something of myself," Leeson reportedly said on This Morning Today.

Leeson decided to transform herself (with the help of her credit cards) because she was bullied about her looks.

In 2013, a woman named Myla Sinanaj also revealed she was getting liposuction, lip injections and implants -- also spending around $30,000 -- to look like Kanye West's other half.

"I’m obsessed with her body and want mine to be exactly the same," Sinanaj told TMZ, adding, "I know it will launch my career."

But Kim Kardashian is not the only celebrity who has been inspiring her fans to get plastic surgery. Here are some other people who have shelled out the big bucks to look like their favourite stars:

Toby Sheldon as Justin Bieber

Sheldon, a 33-year-old songwriter, has reportedly spent $100,000 to look like Justin Bieber. He has had hair transplants, lip surgery and liposuction on his stomach.

"Once Justin shot to fame his face was everywhere and all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was, 'I want to look like him,'" Shelton told the U.K. magazine Closer in 2013. He is still looking to reduce his forehead and jaw.

Donna Marie Trego as Lady Gaga

Donna Trego, a 38-year-old Brit, reportedly spent around $120,000 to turn herself into Lady Gaga.

“I am constantly watching her and how she evolves so I can get it right," the Gaga impersonator told The Mirror. "It’s an amazing thing. She’s taken over my life.”

Kitty as Jennifer Lawrence

A 30-year-old woman from Texas told ABC earlier this year that she spent $25,000 on six surgeries -- including liposuction, breast implants, rhinoplasty and fat grafts -- to look like Jennifer Lawrence. Kitty is a dog trainer and the mother of a five-year-old.

"I can appreciate that her personality is spunky and fun," she said of Lawrence. "I can appreciate that her body is banging."

Crystal as Britney Spears


This 24-year-old woman appeared on MTV's "I Want a Famous Face" and got a rhinoplasty, fat grafts in her cheeks, breast implants and lip injections to look like Britney Spears. All of that went for a cost of approximately $25,000.
