I'm trying to figure out the picture of your plant.
Did you take the photo up-side-down?
Can you take a picture of the entire plant and a closeup of the end leaves? That would be more helpful.
Is there a possibility that the leaves on the end have been grafted?

Looks quite alien to me...

Here's a better pic. The leaves have babies on their ends.

I'm taking back my previous ID (below). Your plant is a kalanchoe, but it's kalanchoe gastonis bonnieri. One of its common names is donkey ears. As with the Mother of Thousands (MOT), those plantlets at the end of the leaf can fall off and grow into new plants. This plant is not nearly as prolific (? invasive) as MOT and, in my opinion is more desirable.

This is the original response which is incorrect: Your succulent is commonly called Mother of Thousands. All those young plantlets along the leaf edge can fall off and grow and subsequently produce more plantlets ad infinitum. It's kalanchoe daigremontiana.

Yes, donkey ears or mules ear is the common name, a member of the Kalanchoe. The babies at the leaf tip can be removed and put in cactus soil to start a new plant.
