Societal gender roles aside, this Cape Town man's Barbie Doll collection is admirable!
Meet Justuis Pieterse Manefelt, the 36-year-old man who has amassed an impressive collection, and according to him, these Barbie Dolls are worth at least 1.5 million South African Rands!
Yes, you heard, right.
Now, we all have things that we love, perhaps some of you are even collectors. Popular collector's items range from paintings, tea sets, antique furniture, jewellery and more.

Justuis, who is also a dad of a 10-year-old daughter, collects Barbie Dolls and is proud of it!
I started Barbie dolls when I was a young boy. My mother was not very happy, but my father stood up for me. I am very proud of my collection. Every morning when I wake up, I walk through the room and just look at them.- Justuis Pieterse Manefelt
His daughter is not much of a Barbie lover, even though she had played with some of her dad's dolls when she was a toddler.
