The Real Cost of Barbie’s Dream House
Barbie, the iconic doll known for her many professions and countless accessories, has long been a source of inspiration for young girls around the world. But what’s the real cost of Barbie’s luxurious lifestyle? Erie Insurance crunched the numbers to give an estimate on the value of Barbie’s dream life – from her more than $22.5 million dreamhouse, pink customized convertible, 30-foot motorhome and more. Breaking it down, Barbie’s real Dream House, a.k.a. a giant pink-covered 4,900 square foot home with features including an elevator, spiral staircase, walk-in closet (of course), four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and an in-ground pool would cost anywhere between $7,000 to $8,000 a year to insure. Additionally, her car and her camper would cost $22,763 to insure together. For more, visit erieinsurance.org/barbie.
