According to OGuinness World Records, Akshat Saxena from India had seven fingers on each hand and ten toes on each foot, giving him a total of 34-fingers and toes.
On a brighter note, he has since had a series of surgeries to amputate the excess digits.
That's not all, Akshat was also born without thumbs, so doctors are working to reconstruct these out of the fingers they've removed.
The condition is known as polydactyly, a genetic disorder which can be inherited and gives rise to excess digits.
Most commonly, the extra digits appear on the little finger side of the hand.
Mrs Saxena said it was a family friend who convinced them Akshat was extremely special.
