Taylor Swift, is her cat really a millionaire?

One of the most loved sports by mere mortals is certainly that of reckoning in the pockets of celebrities.

We take Taylor Swiftfor example: for a few days yours assets was estimated for a value of 400 million of dollars. Is anyone surprised? Of course not: the 33-year-old pop star signed his first record deal 17 years ago and since then he has practically never missed a beat, fueling his own legend not only with music but with his interpersonal relationships, from friendships to loves, up to the style that made her an it-girl. Just being on her radar is enough to attract public attention.

A very, very big place in his heart he earned his cat Olivia Benson, who evidently also has one very close to the singer’s wallet since 2014, when he adopted her. Yes why owns about 97 million dollars also to his role as an influencer on social media. And no, it’s no joke: Taylor Swift, with her Instagram account of 239 million followers, has made the lovable Scottish Fold a true superstar.

The name is a tribute to the protagonist of the series Law & Order: Special Victims (on Sky and NOW), played by the magnificent Mariska Hargitay, who appears right in the video Bad Blood by Taylor Swift, side by side with another icon of the TV series, Ellen Pompeo. The reason? The pop star is also a fan of her character in Grey’s Anatomy, then gave another kitten of the same breed the name of Meredith Gray (she was the first to be welcomed into her home). The last kitten arrived, however, is called Benjamin Button.

But let’s go back to Olivia Benson and her net worth that makes her the third richest pet in the world. The primacy belongs to the German shepherd Gunther VI, whose money is managed by the Gunther Corporation, which is now worth 500 million. In second place Nala Cat, social media star, with 100 million in the bank and in second place among the most followed online.

The stars – and not only – are keen to protect their puppies as family members: the five dogs (Sadie, Sunny, Lauren, Layla and Luke) of Oprah Winfrey they are part of his will and will inherit 30 million each upon his death, ranking fourth on the list of the richest animals in the world. In 2019 Choupette, faithful companion of Karl Lagerfeld, has inherited 13 million, which places her in sixth place after the dog Jiffpom, the most famous of the four-legged influencers: with almost 10 million followers, each of her posts is worth almost 33,000 dollars. Betty White’s dog, Pontiac, has collected 5 million after the disappearance of her owner, while Doug the Pug about 1.5 after the death of Leslie Mosier.
