Last year a Russian woman, Kristina Ozturk had one child, a six-year-old little girl. One year later, the mum has 20 additional biological children, all under the age of 15 months.

20 infants. HOW???

Kristina Ozturk really loves babies. Clearly. And she and her millionaire husband, Galip, 57, decided that they would like a large family and didn’t want to wait.

They live in ​Batumi, Georgia where it’s legal to use surrogate mothers in pregnancy. Kristina explains that over the past year, she’s used several different surrogates to have 20 infants.

All the babies are biologically hers and her husbands, and all were born between 10 March 2020 and 16 January 2021. Her eldest bub, Mufasa is 17 months while her youngest, Olivia, is nearly 8 months.

16 live-in nannies

In addition to their massive baby tribe, the couple also has 16-live-in nannies working around the clock. Each nanny works four days on, two days off. They all have bedrooms all near the kids’ room and their own kitchen to share.

She also explains that they go through 20 large packages of nappies every week and 53 packs of baby formula.

“It costs about £3,500 to £4,200 ($6,500 to $7,700) per week for essentials for all the kids,” Kristina Ozturk told The Sun, adding they pay their nannies £350 ($644) a week. “Sometimes [the costs are] a little more, sometimes a bit less.”

In addition to the daily expenses, each surrogacy costs around £8,000 ($AU12,500.).

At this stage, the family and their nannies all live in a three-story mansion with two to three babies sharing each room. She said there is plenty of space for everyone but isn’t ruling out moving to a larger property in the future.

From the pics she shares on Instagram, it looks like the babies have a crazy cool playroom too!

Kristina also admits that she hasn’t ruled out having more kids. She jokingly told a Russian publication that she would be happy to have 105 kids.

“It does not mean that we are planning to have 105 children,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Stop tearing up my direct comments in assessing our desire to have many children.”

She adds,

 “Don’t use surrogacy if you don’t want, that’s your choice. But this is our life, and it’s our choice.”

    Too much money to know what to do with. So many babies and children that need a home and loving family.

      This isn’t parenting. This is mental illness. No one can be an adequate parent under those circumstances.

      I rad an article a few weeks ago about this family…. I’m sure it said she was fostering them …. Something is off here ….

    This is insanity There is not enough of her to go around for that many babies. That is why she has 16 live in nannies to raise her children for her. Looks more like she likes the publicity!

      Im happy for you and your husband. My husband have been trying to have a baby of our own for 6 years now. We have had surgeries to fix my tubes and still no success. Next option is IVF, but it is so costly. We will find a way, we just cant give up on our dream of having our baby. Hapoy for you both ❤

      Awfully young to be having that many babies that you cant give them all proper love and care, that you have your SUGAR DADDY pay someone to take care of your children. Ha! And she doesnt want people talking bad about her… She got pregnant at 17 and had her baby at 18, she is now 24 and is married to a almost 60 year old man.

        It appears the children have lots of parents aka live in Nannie’s. I’m just glad she’s not on her own with these kids and there is a lot of help for family.

      If the oldest of these surrogate babies was born 10/03/2020 he would just be turning 1 not 17 months…..

      • Avatar of Alex

        The baby was born March 10, 2020. In the Uk they write the day first and then the month that’s why it says 10/3 instead of 3/10

      • Avatar of Lykaios

        Brittany, Most European countries write their dates in Day/Month/Year format so 10/03/2020 is March 10, 2020 making the child nearly 18 months.

    I think this is wonderful. This is a beautiful thing. God bless and your husband and children.

      If they were truly loving people who god needed to bless they would have adopted or fostered children instead of having 20 kids via surrogate and paying 16 people under $5.50/hour to take care of their brood while they don’t do anything for their bio kids.
      They could have chosen to save kids, and not be selfish idiots who think their DNA is so super special.

      • Avatar of Christina

        If they want that many kids that is their choice. Stop bashing them when you read one story. Do you know how much time they spend with their children. No your not there. Obviously they love and make sure all kids are taken care of with that many nannies. Stop judging others.

      I have one child, unable to have more due to endometrial cancer 5 years ago. Desperate to have another but it is not easy or cheap! All the best to her but I cant help feeling a little sad that someone can have 20 babies when some cannot have any. The amount of money is obscene!

      • Avatar of Sami

        I agree myself I have tried for many years and now being referred to fertility treatment it does make me sad sometimes to know so many women just have babies unwantedly or just because they can, it would be wonderful to be a mum just to 1 baby let alone 20 so well done to you and hope you qll the happiness in the world but for people like me can be a little upsetting when all you want is 1 to love unconditionally 1 thing I’ve always always wanted now 30 years old and still trying.

    I feel broken hearted for those children. I don’t see how any of them can get one-on-one bonding with any people. Money doesn’t buy love. They are not raising their children, the nannies are

    • Avatar of Chandra

      I think its incredibly selfish to bring all these kids in the world and the amount of money spent doing it. They should have adopted or did something help the children already in this world suffering

    She is having all these babies and it’s the nannies bringing them up not her so why have so many if she not going to the job properly but then again money talks

      You know what you all want to sit there and talk shit on this woman it’s not you it’s not your life so stop talking shit and leave her alone if you don’t like it then move on and get on with your lives stop trying to put people down just cause you can’t get what you want. And as for the age like said its their choice it’s their lives. As long as they are happy together that’s all that matters. And for some of you have you ever tries to take care of 20 kids if not that you all need to shut the fuck up and move on.

    Wow, what wonderful people and a beautiful family they are . If God didn’t want them to have this many babies than I’m sure it would t of been done ..obviously she deserves a purpose in this life. Why judge a person by how many babies she has ? Why not be positive and supportive rather than negative and judgemental. Its people like you who make.this world go around . Keep doing you hun for those babies .

    Yes that’s insane. How about adopting or fostering children? If you have to have 16 Nannies then you are not capable of taking care of them. Use some common sense.

    Why? Seems to me they want to be famous. Some people have more money than they know what to do with. If they have so much love for children why not rescue the ones out there living in foster care, and all the others that will never have a chance to know love, or maybe try to make it possible for women out here who cannot have children like me because I have all the love in the world to give a baby but don’t have the money. When I see a story like this I’m sorry I don’t see the love all I see is someone who has more money and wants to be famous be there in reality you physically cannot give each single baby what they need that’s why they need all those nannies and I think it’s really quite stupid and doesn’t have a thing to do with love.
