10. Sarah (Saarti) Bartman
The circumference of the butt is about 200 centimeters (the exact size is unknown).
This girl from the African Hottentot people had an extremely difficult life. Due to steatopygia (excessive fat deposits on the hips and buttocks), she is believed to have the largest butt in history. But since her exact size is unknown, we've placed Sarah Barton in tenth place.
British surgeon William Dunlop and entrepreneur Hendrik Caesar took Saartjie to London, where she was exhibited for public amusement in a human zoo. The English paid to see Saartjie's naked body and watch her "wild dances." Saartjie herself received nothing from these exhibitions, although Dunlop and Caesar assured her she could make a fortune in Europe.
After numerous scandals involving Saartjie's degrading treatment, her "employers" were brought to trial, but no real punishment followed. However, Sara's "contract" was amended, and she was entitled to "better conditions," a larger share of the profits, and warm clothing.
After four years in London, in September 1814, she was transported from England to France and sold to Reau, a man who showed animals.
He began exhibiting Sarah in a cage next to a small rhinoceros. Her "trainer" ordered Bartman to sit or stand, just like circus animals. The French nicknamed the dark-skinned, enormous-bottomed creature "the Hottentot Venus.".
Her appearance attracted the attention of renowned naturalist Georges Cuvier, who concluded that Sarah was a link between animals and humans. Thus, Sarah was used to help underscore the stereotype that Africans were an "inferior race.".
Saartjie Bartman died in 1816 at the age of 26. It is unknown whether she died of alcoholism, smallpox, or pneumonia.
9. Anastasia Kvitko
Butt circumference: 105 centimeters.
The Russian model, dubbed the "Russian Kim Kardashian," gained worldwide fame thanks to her photographs. She has unusual body measurements: 95 cm, 63 cm, 105 cm. However, according to her claims, she has not had plastic surgery. However, not all media outlets believe this.
Incidentally, Kim Kardashian's hips measure 102 centimeters. However, both Kardashian's butt and Kvitko's butt are smaller than the world's largest breasts.
In November 2018, Anastasia Kvitko's Instagram following surpassed 9 million. After all, size does matter.
8. Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj's buttocks measure 114 centimeters.
The American rapper is known not only for her voluptuous figure but also for her eccentric outfits, earning her the nickname "the black Lady Gaga." However, Nicki doesn't mind when her bottom becomes the main topic of discussion online or on TV. She is considered one of the most beautiful butts in the world.
7. Natasha Stewart
The circumference of the butt is 122 centimeters.
The former model, nicknamed Pebblez da Model, is the owner of the largest silicone butt in the world. At the time of her measurements by Guinness World Records experts, her buttocks measured 122 centimeters (48 inches) with a waist size of 66 centimeters (26 inches).
However, her love of silicone led her to her doom. In 2015, she was convicted of brokering a deal that resulted in Karima Gordon being injected with silicone and other substances in an attempt to enlarge her buttocks. Stewart gave Karima the contact information of an illegal doctor, receiving $200 in exchange. But Karima died a week later from respiratory complications "due to extensive soft tissue injection using a non-pharmaceutical lipoid substance." As a result, Natasha was charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Now she's out of prison and continues to post photos of her huge butt, delighting her followers on social media.

Ass circumference: 163 centimeters.
From those with very large yet beautiful butts, we move on to real powerhouses. One of these is an aspiring plus-size actress and model who moved to Hollywood from Austria. She believes her ample hips are the key to potential stardom and has already amassed a legion of fans on YouTube.
«"I find my thighs very sexy, in fact I find my whole body very sexy," Claudia said, adding that she receives "at least 27 marriage proposals every day.".

Buttocks circumference: 183 centimeters.

Natasha's parents have repeatedly asked her to stop experimenting with her appearance, but she refuses to do so. She claims the size of her butt makes her feel sexy.
«"People tell me to stop having surgery, and I respect their opinion, but I love myself. I'm going to achieve my goal, no matter what it takes. You only have one life, so live it," says Crown.
4. Denise Sauder
Ass circumference: 187 centimeters.
The 59-year-old Las Vegas stripper's hips are twice the size of the average woman who neglects exercise and diet. But Denise isn't intimidated by this; she even enjoys it. She sells her videos online and even encourages her daughter, Rachel, to perform daring shows.
«"God gave me these hips, why not love them and use them?" says Sauder. Her husband, Steve, wholeheartedly agrees. He admits his wife would be less attractive if her butt lost its volume. However, Denise, like many other very plus-size women, suffers from arthritis in her hips and knees, which affects her mobility and causes daily pain.
3. Marlena Plummer
Ass circumference: 213 centimeters.
The 38-year-old New Yorker leads an active lifestyle despite her impressive hips. And she's hoping to meet her soulmate.
«"I believe there's someone out there who will love me for who I am," Marlena said in an interview. "I've always had big hips, even as a child. I don't have a big appetite, and it's a mystery why my hips are the way they are, but I love my hips, I love my figure, and I love myself.".
2. Sarah Massey
The circumference of the butt is 213 centimeters.
Another owner of a super-large butt just missed the mark for first place in the rankings. As they say, there's still room for improvement.
Albert, Sarah's husband and father of her two children, doesn't complain about his wife's posterior. "What attracted me first was what I saw," he laughs, "a lot of women!"«
But Sarah has several challenges both inside and outside the home. She often struggles to fasten her seatbelt and suffers from back pain.
The attention Sarah attracts upsets her sons, Christian and Aaron. People often make fun of her and make hurtful comments about her. Their mother, however, isn't concerned about what others think. Sarah even goes to a public park to work out with her personal trainer. Meanwhile, the curvy woman tries her best to maintain a healthy diet.
1. Mikel Ruffinelli
Ass circumference: 244 centimeters.
A woman who weighs 190 kilograms and has the biggest butt in the world (as confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records) says she is proud of her figure.
«"I'm an extreme person, I have an extreme body type. I love my curves, I love my hips, and I love my butt," Ruffinelli said, adding that she'd rather stay this size and be happy and loved than be thin and miserable.
It turns out Mikel isn't the only one who loves her impressive backside. Her husband, Reggie, is absolutely smitten with his wife. "I tell people all the time: I have a license to operate heavy equipment," he jokes.
Ruffinelli lives in Los Angeles and has appeared on various reality shows. She admits that, despite her positive attitude toward her body, she experiences challenges in her daily life. For example, she has trouble showering and getting out of bed.
However, the "woman of extremes", whose butt measures almost 2.5 meters in circumference, is confident in herself and has no intention of dieting or losing weight in any other way.
