These are the richest animals in the world
So I am 23 years old, live in a room of twelve square meters, and my most valuable possession is the second-hand Gazelle that I zip from A to B on. And then don't get an inferiority complex when you hear that there are dogs, cats, and chickens that seem to have their lives more together. I am left speechless behind my Macbook. These are the ten richest animals in the world.
1. Grumpy Cat
When I go out, I often get asked ‘if I can laugh too’. Well, I am just practicing my grumpy cat face. That cat has a bank account that is not for the, fill in the blank yourself. Her grumpy face is worth almost ninety thousand euros. And she has 2.4 million followers on Instagram. What am I doing wrong all this time?
2. Choupette
That is the cat of Karl Lagerfeld and he says about his greatest love that she is ‘the richest and most famous cat in the world’. Choupette has two maids who play with her, a bodyguard who protects her with his life, and the most exclusive veterinarian in Paris as her doctor. With her Hermès suitcase, her owner flies her in for fashion shows and photo shoots. And the darling, because that is the translation of her name, does not travel economy, no, she just comes with her own private jet.
3. Gunther IV
This German shepherd is the richest animal in the world with 330 million euros in the bank. So I started researching and expected a CV that stated Gunther spoke seven languages or something. But no, Gunther was born rich. Because Gunther IV's dad was named Gunther III and was included in his owners' will, inherited, and passed it on. To Gunther IV, that is.
4. Olivia Benson
That is Taylor Swift's cat and unlike Gunther, she earned her money herself. Olivia starred in commercials for Coca Cola and Keds Shoes and has a savings pot of 85 million euros because of that. A cat that can live off interest, how do you come up with that?.
5. Gigoo
There is also a chicken in this list, indeed. Chicken Gigoo was the heir of a wealthy British chap who left him 15 million. I keep wondering more and more. What am I doing wrong?
6. Luke, Layla, Sadie, Sunny, and Lauren
That is Oprah Winfrey's dog quintet. They are of course blessed with such an owner. But they are also included in Oprah's will, for over 25 million euros. We didn't expect that from Oprah.
7. Bubbles
Michael Jackson's chimpanzee, we immediately thought of that when it came to this topic. Also a bit of a case of ‘how is it now with?’. Bubbles spends his days in a sanctuary in Florida. But don't worry, because Michael Jackson also included him in his will. And Bubbles now sells paintings. I am officially no longer surprised by anything.
Numbers 8, 9, and 10 on this list also all hit the jackpot when they were chosen from their birth nests. The white Maltese Trouble received 12 million from her owner. Chihuahuas Concita, April Marie, and Lucia and cat Blackie were included in the will for 10 million.
Now I understand that Kees & Co-intro suddenly: ‘I wish I were a cat that had nine lives...’ I will have to delve into that whole reincarnation thing.
