The five dogs of “television queen” Oprah Winfrey are ranked behind cat Olivia Benson, thanks to an inheritance of 30 million USD from their owner.

Choupette cat of “Chanel Godfather” Karl Lagerfeld is also in the top 10 animals with huge fortunes, thanks to an inheritance of 13 million USD. Choupette is currently 13 years old, a Burmese cat breed. After Karl Lagerfeld passed away in 2019, it lived with personal bodyguards and maids. The cat has 263 thousand followers on Instagram, and once released a separate photo book called Choupette: The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat , including photos taken with supermodel Linda Evangelista and actress Laetitia Casta. Choupette also made money as a model for a car and cosmetics company.
Choupette lives a luxurious life and eats meticulously. The recipe for the millionaire cat’s favorite dishes was prepared by a famous restaurant in Paris. It loves king crab, smoked salmon and caviar. At the 2023 Met Gala with the theme of honoring Karl Lagerfeld, some stars such as Jared Leto and Doja Cat transformed into Choupette cats.
Star Betty White ‘s dog Pontiac was once included in her list of five million USD heirs. However, the pet passed away in 2017, five years before the owner. When she was alive, she had assets of 75 million USD.
Pontiac is a guide dog sponsored by the Betty White organization. However, the dog is not suitable for the job due to its too friendly personality, often running out to greet others on the street while on duty. In 2008, people from the organization convinced Betty White to adopt him, but she was hesitant because she had seen many previous pets die one after another. In the end, she still raised Pontiac, sticking with him for nine years.
