Kim Kardashian, eat your heart out.
A Miami economics grad pumped her booty to 60 inches – 17 more than Kim’s keister – to take a crack at making it big online.
Courtney Barnes, 32, ditched a banking career in hopes of cashing in on her bodacious butt — which she enhanced by getting shots six years ago at one of thousands of illegal “pumping parties” across the US, Barcroft Media reported.
Barnes’ prodigious posterior ended up much larger than she had expected, so she decided to make the best of it.
“One thing that I did learn in economics is that it’s about having a product that people want — and my product is myself right now,” the cheeky sultress said.
“I want to show men, women and children that it is possible to be beautiful, smart — and have a big ass,” she added.
Courtney — also known as Miss Miami — initially decided to get the silicone injections as a student, when she worked as a dancer and admired the curvaceous figures of her fellow performers.
“It was a risk I was willing to take at the time and I was lucky not to have any complications,” she said. “I was naïve and I admit I didn’t know what I was putting in my body, but at the time a lot of women in Florida were getting it done and I found a local women who could do it.”
The injections, which are often administered by people with no medical expertise, may be lethal if the substance is accidentally injected into a vein.
“Many people ask me, ‘Are these injections dangerous?’ And the answer is, ‘Yes,’” she said. “Even if it isn’t fatal immediately, you don’t know how it is affecting your body. These are very dangerous products that are being injected.”
After her pictures went viral, Courtney decided to use them to improve her bottom line.
“I was working at a traditional office job at that time and so many pictures and videos of me were going viral just out shopping and dancing in the clubs,” she said. “That’s when I started to model and get myself out there. I knew how to best market myself and the success was almost overnight.”
Although she has amassed 379,000 Instagram followers, she said her major asset is also a bit of a bummer.
“My career is fun but at the same time it is really difficult for people to take you seriously when it comes to certain businesses,” she said. “I feel like having a really big butt or having really big boobs — you are completely over sexualized.
“Two times in my life I’ve had guys pumping gas at the gas station and they are watching me and they drive off with pump in their car. It’s crazy, they just lose focus,” she said.
