You don't have to show off your own talents to make money. As practice shows, sometimes it is enough just to be a cat to become a millionaire. Some cats were initially lucky enough to be born under a lucky star and live with wealthy owners, and some, on the contrary, helped their owners to significantly increase their capital. So who are they - seals who are literally swimming in money?
1. Choupette
Little Choupette was just lucky with the owner from the very beginning. She has a personal account and three million euros in earnings a year - such a common thing for Choupette. The beauty starred even for a Japanese cosmetics brand, for which, of course, she also received a large amount of money. But the main thing is that its owner - and this is none other than Karl Lagerfeld - loves his pet, and therefore, even if the cat suddenly does not have a further career, it clearly will not be without attention and support. "She is the center of the world. If you saw her, you would understand. She is like Greta Garbo," Lagerfeld himself says about her.
2. Blackie
Blackie is officially considered the richest cat in the world. There is even a corresponding entry about this in the Guinness Book of Records. This pet was also lucky with the owner - it was the antiquary millionaire Ben Rea. After his death, Ben left his almost 13 millionth wealth not to relatives, but to Blackie, one of 15 cats with whom he shared his home. To prevent the cat from having to deal with boring paperwork, the millionaire also left money for three charities at once, on whose conscience he entrusted the care of his beloved pet.
3. Grumpy Cat
Fame for Grumpy-cat ("Angry Cat") came in 2012. His always disgruntled face helped his owner earn more than one million dollars - there is even talk of an amount of 100 million, but such data have not been officially confirmed. Two books have been written about the cat, a coffee drink (Grumppuccino) is named after him, and T-shirts, mugs, and all kinds of other goods with the image of Grumpy-cat are impossible to count.
4. Tommaso
Tommaso is another black cat who inherited a huge inheritance. Italian Maria Assunta picked up a fluffy on the street. Elderly Maria was the widow of a successful real estate tycoon in Rome. She died in 2011 and left her entire fortune - which is $ 13 million - to the cat. Tommaso is now looked after by Maria's former nurse, who promised the elderly millionaire to look after the pet even before it became known that he would receive the entire inheritance.
5. Monty
At first, Monty lived in an animal shelter in Copenhagen, and then he was taken by a loving family, who not only began to take care of the pet - he has poor health due to congenital anomalies - but also made him an Internet star. Thanks to his unusual appearance, Monty has become one of the most recognizable cats on Instagram. Now with his image, you can find a whole pack of various goods: from T-shirts and pillows to goods for animals.
6. Nala
Nala became an Instagram star thanks to her owner. The girl took the kitty to her from the shelter when she was only five months old. Now Nala has her own Instagram with numerous photos and videos, and more than 3.5 million subscribers have subscribed to this account. Now Nala is 7 years old, and the main income of a cat and her owner comes from an online store that sells an incredible amount of goods for cats and cat lovers.
7. Lil Bab
Just like Grumpy the cat, Lil Bab was born a dwarf, which led to numerous health problems and a rather specific appearance. Lil Bab has short legs, always sticking out tongue due to a too short lower jaw, and almost all teeth are missing. The cat does not know how to run and jump, but it walks quite normally. When the owner took the cat to the shelter, he was sure that it was a cat and therefore gave the pet a male name. Now the fancy cat with the fancy name has an army of fans on the Internet, as well as an online store that sells mostly clothes, toys and accessories.
8 smoothies
Beauty Smoothie's Instagram has 1.2 million subscribers, and every new photo or video of this fluffy cat causes a storm of comments praising its beauty. We also included Smoothie in our extensive selection of the most beautiful cats from around the world, which we published in an article titled " Fluffy miracle."
