How much do you hate this girl?
Professional poker player Beth Shak, 41, told Footwear News she owns 1,200 pairs of shoes, including 700 pairs of super-pricey Christian Louboutins.
The shoes take up three closets in her Bryn Mawr, Penn., home, and add up to about $500,000 in value.
Yep -- that's half a million dollars worth of shoes.
"It's my one happiness," the stiletto-junkie told The New York Post.
Red-soled shoe maker Louboutin even lets Shak special-order stilettos to give her early dibs on limited-edition styles.
"They pretty much just e-mail me pictures, and I get to pick what I want," she told the Post.
Before you write Shak off as totally and completely obnoxious, she is planning to donate some of her shoes to charity. So a homeless person could soon be walking around in a pair of Shak's Lanvin ballet flats.
It also makes us feel a bit better to learn that Shak wears Havaiana flip-flops on a regular basis. But you really can't wear high heels to the beach.

Incidently, it was found in California, which is where it must live so it can have access to so many shoes.
