Taylor Swift’s cat Olivia Benson and Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette have tens of millions of dollars, among the richest animals on the planet.
According to a new report published by the All About Cats organization, Taylor Swift’s cat is the third richest in the animal world and the richest in the celebrity pet world, with a net worth of about 97 million USD . The Scottish fold-eared cat earns money through advertising posts on Instagram, selling product lines with his image, appearing in his owner’s MV and many advertisements for major brands.
The five dogs of “television queen” Oprah Winfrey are ranked behind cat Olivia Benson, thanks to an inheritance of 30 million USD from their owner. According to Forbes, Winfrey’s net worth is estimated to be $2.5 billion. She has no children and wants to make sure her pets are well taken care of when she passes away.
Oprah Winfrey’s two goldens are named Luke and Layla, two springer spaniels are named Sunny and Lauren, and a cocker spaniel is named Sadie. Oprah Winfrey is famous for being a dog lover. She once said she wanted to live like a dog, carefree and happy.
Choupette cat of “Chanel Godfather” Karl Lagerfeld is also in the top 10 animals with huge fortunes, thanks to an inheritance of 13 million USD. Choupette is currently 13 years old, a Burmese cat breed. After Karl Lagerfeld passed away in 2019, it lived with personal bodyguards and maids. The cat has 263 thousand followers on Instagram, and once released a separate photo book called Choupette: The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat , including photos taken with supermodel Linda Evangelista and actress Laetitia Casta. Choupette also made money as a model for a car and cosmetics company.
Choupette lives a luxurious life and eats meticulously. The recipe for the millionaire cat’s favorite dishes was prepared by a famous restaurant in Paris. It loves king crab, smoked salmon and caviar. At the 2023 Met Gala with the theme of honoring Karl Lagerfeld, some stars such as Jared Leto and Doja Cat transformed into Choupette cats.
Star Betty White ‘s dog Pontiac was once included in her list of five million USD heirs. However, the pet passed away in 2017, five years before the owner. When she was alive, she had assets of 75 million USD.
Pontiac is a guide dog sponsored by the Betty White organization. However, the dog is not suitable for the job due to its too friendly personality, often running out to greet others on the street while on duty. In 2008, people from the organization convinced Betty White to adopt him, but she was hesitant because she had seen many previous pets die one after another. In the end, she still raised Pontiac, sticking with him for nine years.
