Don’t you agree looking after a single kid can make you exhausted and feel tired all day? Now imagine the life of a Russian woman who already has 22 babies. Now aiming to have even more babies, she wants 105 biological kids to be exact.
Kristina Ozturk aka “Batumi Mama” from Georgia recently grabbed the headlines for being a 24-year-old mother of 22 babies. The super-rich mom, who has 16 live-in nannies at home to help her with the children, aspires to have 105 children in the future, as per her Instagram bio.
She is married to millionaire businessman Galip Ozturk, 57, and together the couple spent over $195,000 on surrogacy. Most of their babies were born to surrogate mothers around the world between March 2020 and July 2021.
Although Ozturk spends tens of thousands of dollars every year on hiring the help of sixteen nannies, she insists that she is a hands-on mother. Her husband, the wealthy hotel owner, seems supportive of Ozturk’s desire to have 105 biological children. The pair met while on vacation in the coastal town of Batumi in Georgia, in eastern Europe.
So far, the couple has spent $96,000 on nannies to support their massive family. They currently have twenty-one children at home and are an extremely large family.
Their Instagram photos might present the idea of a picture-perfect life, however, there is more than meets the eye. Galip Ozturk is in fact a fugitive Turkish magnate who is wanted in his country for soliciting murder. He used his money and connections to escape a life sentence in Turkey and is currently settled in Georgia. He met his present wife, Kristina, a year ago in Georgia when she was only 23 years old. Galip and Kristina Ozturk are now being featured in global news for their extraordinarily ‘large’ family.
Galip Ozturk is the founder of Turkish company Metro Holding, which presently has more than $500 million investments in Georgia. According to Duva R English, Ozturk was sentenced in Turkey for soliciting the murder of Kuvvet Köseoğlu in Istanbul’s Beyoğlu. The Supreme Court of Appeals even approved his life sentence for the crime.
However, the business mogul managed to flee the country using his power and started afresh in Georgia. He is notably the owner of Metro Tourism, a firm notorious for multiple sexual assault cases.
Ozturk and her husband live in a three-story mansion. They decided to use surrogates to have children because they could get many children very quickly.
Before marrying Kristina, Galip Ozturk already had nine children from his previous relationships. He had one biological child with the Batumi Mama about a year ago. Soon afterward, they decided to expand their family quite exponentially, and do not plan to stop anytime soon. Together, the couple has 21 children via surrogacy while Kristina has a six-year-old daughter from her previous relationship. Meanwhile, Galip has fathered a total of 30 children.
The couple spends $6,000 a week on essentials for the babies, which includes 20 large packages of diapers/per week, and 53 packs of baby formula. This does not include the need for at least 10 double strollers, 15-20 high chairs, 8 Baby Bjorn bouncers, baby walkers, 20 cribs, 10 baby bottle warmers, and baby food prep machines. The amount of gear needed to care for this many children is endless.
The busy mom documents her day on her Instagram under the handle of Batumi_mama. She shows what outings look like and he one on one days with some of the children.
One of the babies Alena has special needs and lives with nannies in Istanbul where she is receiving treatment. Kristina has not opened up about the treatment her daughter receives, but only that they are separated.
