Kim Kardashian Overtakes Justin Beiber On Instagram, Male Fan Spends $150K To Be Just Like Her
Kim Kardashian did not become the most followed celebrity on Instagram if she does not have a horde of fans. One fan was so enamoured with her that he wanted to look like her. The British man reportedly shelled out $150,000 to have several surgeries and procedures done so that he could look like Kim!
After Instagram decided to remove all spammy accounts, celebrities were hard hit as some lost millions of followers. Astonishingly, even though Kim Kardashian lost millions of followers with the purge—as Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and more stars did—the tally of Instagram followers made the reality star the most followed Individual on Instagram to date, which was a spot occupied by Justin Bieber previously.
Beyoncé followed in the second place and Bieber in the third. The purge reportedly cost the Canadian singer 3.5 million followers.
One celebrity even deleted his account after being left with a measly number of followers. Rapper Mase, who originally had 1.6 million followers, got only 100,000 followers as a result of the purge, which reports say could indicate that he must have "purchased" his followers.
Even without this numbers game in social media, idolatry for Kim Kardashian is obvious and widespread. One hardcore fan in Britain even shelled out $150,000 for plastic surgeries and other procedures done just so he could look like Kim. Jordan James Parke, a British makeup artist said that all it took was one episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" for him to be hooked on Kim.
He told The Sun how much he loves everything about Kanye West's wife and thinks she's the most gorgeous woman ever. For him, Kim is just perfect, from her skin to her hair. His admiration does not stop with him staying tuned on Kim's reality show or buying her products. The 23-year-old reportedly spent humungous amounts of money on 50 cosmetic procedures so that he could look like Kim. He had gotten procedures such as Botox, lip fillers, eyebrow tattoos and even laser hair removal. Despite people dissing him and slamming him for looking like plastic, he's very happy with what he has done.
