Mikel Ruffinelli Has Largest Hips In The World – Sets Record

According to the World Record Academy, Mikel Ruffinelli has set the record for the World's Largest Hips. Her hips measure a total of 8 feet in circumference.

She's a mother of 4 from Los Angeles, California and stands 5foot 4inches tall. Her waist is tiny in proportion to her hips at 40 inches. She says that she is perfectly content with her size and shape.

"I see no reason to diet because I don’t have health problems," Mikel said. "Men don’t fancy skinny girls, they like an hourglass figure."

Her size and figure do make certain tasks more difficult. She has to drive a truck and use a re-enforced chair in her home due to her size. She has problems fitting into the shower, through doors, and has to sleep in a bed seven feet wide.
