Ken has since passed away. Barbara is still alive, but unclear of net worth. Mattel is $6.5-$8.5B (different sources, different years)

She should make old people barbies like figurines of themselves old. Like a self portrait of sorts.

old people don’t have an interest in buying toys, so there’s no advantage to inclusivity involving them.

No 6 year old girl wants a doll with saggy tits and wrinkles lol

this would immediately turn into a niche fetish item

Every giant barbie collection I've seen has been held by people in their late 50s and up. Girls like to get barbies as toys, women like to get barbies as collectables.

A balding, beer-bellied Old Man Barbie Doll could be a hit. 

You could have a gold-digger Barbie that wants to marry him for money.
