BARBIE DOLL

She's more than just a pretty face!



Barbie, the movie has put the iconic doll (back) in the spotlight in a big way — and with so much marketing in the lead-up to the release, you probably feel like you know everything there is to know about Barbie. But the doll has been around for more than 60 years, so there's a lot of history — and its not all about her wardrobe. (Though, we admit, fashion does play a big role.) We all love Barbie for her signature pink obsession and her ability to navigate trends (good and bad) — and while you might be aware that she's had a lot of careers, from astronaut to doctor, you might be shocked to learn exactly how many jobs this one doll has held. (She had to pay for that Dreamhouse somehow!) You probably don't know where Barbie and Ken got their names, who Barbie's biggest collector is or how many siblings she has. And fair warning, after reading this, you might want to head to your mom's basement to see if she's got some of the most expensive dolls ... or the best-selling Barbie of all time. Even if you fancy yourself a big fan, we have a feeling there are a few fun facts about Barbie on this list that might surprise you.
