At 28, Ashten Empire spent over $40,000 to emulate her idol, Kim Kardashian. Ashten’s goal is to achieve fame and recognition like her admired icon, and she believes that impersonating her look-alike can bring significant financial rewards.
Ashten has undergone numerous surgeries, such as breast augmentation, buttock lifts, and treatments like fillers, Botox, and other aesthetic procedures.
A veteran stunt double for director and actor Clint Eastwood encouraged her to pursue a career as a stunt double, particularly due to the potential monetary benefits.
Ashten’s breast augmentation cost $14,000, increasing her breast size to 34E. An equal amount was spent on rhinoplasty, giving her a new nose.

Initially a fitness model, Ashten was approached by a talent agency to perform stunt work as Kim Kardashian’s double, making appearances at events and concerts.
Several paparazzi have confused her for Kim, and she has amassed a significant following on social media, with 75,000 followers on TikTok and nearly 600,000 on Instagram. These numbers have propelled her into a career as an influencer.
