According to the Norwegian radio channel Kanal 24, Lie has produced 501.5
liters breast milk for sale last since May of last year.
«I’m making some money on this as they pay 135 krone per liter,» Lie said to
TV 2. «I’ve gotten my driver’s license and bought a car, everything paid by
breast milk.»
With the liter price of NOK 135 (USD 19.56), Lie got an income of more than
NOK 65,000 (USD 9430) on her breast milk. She has an 11 month old son.
According to Lie, it is genetic explanations why she produced so much milk.
«My mother was the same way, and I’ve heard my grand mother nursed children
around town, so it’s hereditary,» Lie said. «It’s my hormones. I apparently
have lots of them.»
Kanal 24 reported that the hospital across the country need breast milk, but
stressed that the deliveries do not have to as large as those from Lie.
The average donor provides one and half to two liters a week, while Lie has
delivered as much as 11 liters.
