The Richest Cats in the World
Felines who inherited millions and now live better than us.
While most of us are budgeting for groceries or contemplating our 401(k), there are cats—yes, actual cats—who are out here living the high life, sipping from crystal bowls and lounging on Italian leather furniture.
These pampered pusses have inherited fortunes, signed modeling contracts, and become brand ambassadors—making more in a week than most humans see in a year. Let’s take a peek into the velvet-lined lives of the world’s wealthiest whiskered elites.
🐾 1. Blackie – The OG Millionaire Cat
When British antiques dealer Ben Rea passed away in 1988, he left £7 million (about $12.5 million today) to his beloved cat, Blackie. Not his relatives. Not his friends. Just Blackie.
This feline icon held the Guinness World Record for “Wealthiest Cat” for years. A silent, mysterious black cat who purred his way into a king’s ransom? Sounds about right.
💼 2. Choupette – Karl Lagerfeld’s Furry Heiress
Fashion royalty Karl Lagerfeld didn’t just own a cat—he worshipped her. Choupette, a white Birman, dined on gourmet meals, had two maids, her own iPad, and reportedly inherited part of Lagerfeld’s $200 million estate after his passing in 2019.
Oh, and she had modeling gigs and her own social media presence, obviously. Lagerfeld once said, “There is no marriage yet for human beings and animals… I never thought I would fall in love like this.” Same, Karl. Same.
💰 3. Tommaso – The Italian Real Estate Tycoon Cat
Stray to mogul? Yes, that happened. Tommaso, a former alley cat in Italy, was adopted by a wealthy woman who later passed away—leaving him $13 million in real estate assets.
Tommaso now “owns” homes across Italy, managed by a cat-loving nurse who serves as his legal guardian. From rags to riches, this kitty’s story is the stuff of legends.
🐱 4. Olivia Benson – Taylor Swift’s Chart-Topping Cat
Named after the Law & Order: SVU character, Olivia Benson has appeared in Swift’s music videos, ads, and even made it onto Forbes’ list of the richest pets—with an estimated worth of $97 million.
That’s more than some Hollywood actors. She’s cute, she’s famous, and she didn’t even have to write a single song about heartbreak.
💼 5. Grumpy Cat – The Face That Launched a Thousand Memes
Though Grumpy Cat (real name: Tardar Sauce) passed away in 2019, she reportedly earned $100 million in her lifetime through memes, merchandise, movies, and endorsements.
One viral photo turned her into a global brand—and her sour little face is still recognized by millions around the world.
😹 Honorable Mention: Every Cat on Instagram with More Followers Than You
Let’s not forget the internet-famous kitties pulling in thousands (or millions) through sponsorship deals, merchandise, and YouTube ad revenue. These influencers live in custom-built cat mansions, eat gourmet treats, and travel better than most of us.
So… How Do We Get That Life?
While most cats are content with a cardboard box and a sunbeam, these moggies prove that being a house cat can come with the finer things—if your human happens to be loaded, eccentric, or a pop superstar.
Meanwhile, we’ll just keep scooping their litter and paying their bills. Because that’s love. Or servitude. Probably both.
