Pets can have a net worth, for those, like myself, who are completely ignorant. It turns out that a small number are worth more money than the majority will ever see in their lifetimes.
The third-richest pet in the world is Olivia Benson, the beloved cat of Taylor Swift. How much allegedly is the Scottish Fold worth?
around $97 million.
A recent report released by All About Cats calculated pets’ net worth using Instagram analytics to estimate “how much each of these pets could make per Instagram.”
In the case of the 33-year-old pop star’s cat they also accounted for any deals outside of social media.
“The Scottish Fold earned her fortune starring alongside her owner in several music videos, has crafted her own merchandise line, and has had cameos in many big-budget ads, including for the likes of Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers,” the website explained.
Pretty impressive resume for a cat.
Swift adopted Olivia, named after Mariska Hargitay‘s Law and Order: SVU character, in 2014. Since then she’s added another, making her an official cat lady, according to her friends.
“[I talked with] friends about it and before I got the second cat,” she said in a 2014 interview. “I was really kinda canvassing everyone I knew, going, ‘Is cats … cat lady? Or, you know, two cats is cats and there’s more than one?’ And they’re like, ‘No, three cats is a cat lady. Two cats is a party.’”
Gunther VI, a German Shepherd, claimed the top spot with an estimated net worth of $500 million, and Instagram-famous Nala the cat took second place. It’s estimated Nala is worth $100 million.
While Olivia Benson made the top three, unfortunately Swift’s other two cats didn’t make the list.
Hey, there’s always next year!
Personally I think it’s a bit crazy that pets can be worth so much money, but if they did the work whose to say they didn’t earn it!
