Career and personal life

edit

Big was born in Rhineland-Palatinate, West Germany.[3] After receiving a high school diploma, Big began a career as flight attendant alongside her longtime partner Michael, who was a pilot. She quit working as a flight attendant in 2012 to pursue modeling and acting full-time.[3] In 2017, Big confirmed in the Swedish television show Outsiders that she has the biggest breasts in Europe, employing a water displacement test.[8]

Body modifications

edit

On 3 December 2012, Big underwent a breast augmentation with large expandable implants. Since then she had 23 procedures to add volume to her breasts, reaching a bra size of 32 S.[9]

In January 2017, Big began undergoing perma-tanning procedures using melanotan injections to give her the appearance of a black woman.[1][3][4][5] In February 2018, she traveled to Kenya and lived there with the tribes of the Maasai and Samburu. A local clergyman baptized her to be a true Kenyan woman. She was given the baptismal name Malaika Kubwa; in Swahili, "malaika" means "angel" and "kubwa" means "big".[10][11]

In May 2019, she had her previous breast implants replaced by new, bigger, expandable models, which are the biggest breast implants in the world, each with a rated volume of 20,000 cubic centimetres (1,200 cu in).[12][13]
