\n[post_page_title]Grumpy Cat – $1 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nThis cat was an internet sensation for the longest time, so his presence on this list is only semi-surprising. Grumpy Cat’s real name is Tardar Sauce, not sure which is better. He launched a million memes worldwide. His interesting features are what got him noticed, he looks the way he does because he has feline dwarfism. Thanks to all of his appearances on television and basically winning the internet, Grumpy Cat is worth $1 Million.

\n[post_page_title]Silverstone – $27,000[\/post_page_title]
\nLet us begin with the fact that this tortoise, one of two on our list, is 50 years old – he’s earned his keep. Silverstone was Christina Foyle’s pet tortoise. Christina was a bookshop tycoon. Silverstone is worth $27,000, which, granted, is far less than the other super rich animals on this list, but really, what is a 50 year old turtle going to do with that kind of cash?!

\n[post_page_title]Olivia Benson – $97 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nOlivia Benson, named after the Law and Order detective, is none other than songstress Taylor Swift’s cat. The white Scottish Fold kitten is also working for her keep and making herself some serious cash.

\n[post_page_title]Moose – $3 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nMoose worked his little tail off for his pay day. You may remember him from the sitcom Frasier? He was the endlessly energetic pup known as Eddie the dog. This adorable Jack Russell terrier won the hearts the world over. He was making $9,000 an episode on Frasier and worked for over 9 years, earning on over $3 Million. Little known fact: on Frasier, Moose was replaced sometimes with his son, Enzo.

\n[post_page_title]Pontiac – $5 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nPontiac had two very good reasons to smile. One is that he’s the beloved dog of the \u00fcber famous actress, Betty White (we mean, come on, who wouldn’t want to be cared by her), and second – this dog has a trust fund of over $5 million; making Pontiac one of the world’s most wealthy pets. Betty was quoted as saying, \u201cIt\u2019s just the two of us for Christmas, because I\u2019m alone, and so we just have a cozy day all day. We look forward to that all year.\u201d

\nLeona Helmsey, the inspiration for The Devil Wears Prada boss, was known for her quirkiness. One of those quirks? Leaving her dog, Trouble, an original amount of $12 million.

Leona\u2019s brother, Alvin Rosenthal, was appointed guardian of Trouble, the white Maltese Terrier until it dies. When Trouble does pass away, he is to be buried alongside Leona in her mausoleum in Upstate New York.

\n[post_page_title]Gigoo – $10 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nA chicken. A chicken is richer than us. Gigoo is a Scots Dumpy Hen, considered pretty rare in the bird department. Must have been quite a pet for textbook publishing millionaire, Miles Blackwell to leave the bird his fortune of $10 Million! That is outrageous in our book. Blackwell also left money for an organization that helps protect these unique Hens, but we still can’t get over a chicken being worth $10 Million.
\n

\n
\n

\n
\n[post_page_title]Big Tibby – $62,000[\/post_page_title]
\nDonald Moss, millionaire businessman, left around $62,000 for his best friend, his pet tortoise, Big Tibby. The reason he left money was to make sure Tibby would be looked after after his death. Moss bought the toroise from a shop on Tib Street in Manchester in 1945, which is why he was given the name Big Tibby. Moss left the money for Big Tibby with Caroline Williams, a trusted neighbor; and a trusted neighbor she was, Caroline did everything Moss would have wanted to make sure Big Tibby was taken care of as best as possible.

\n
\n[post_page_title]Conchita – $3 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nConchita, adorably named to fit her equally adorable small fact, is the fur baby of Gail Posner, an American heiress. When Gail passed away in 2010, she left her $3 million fortune AND her palatial Miami home to Conchita. This spoiled pup wears nothing but designer duds and gets spa treatments like she were the human she thinks she is. Just to put it in perspective – Gail’s son was left with less than half of what the dog got. Ouch.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Chunmun – $250,000[\/post_page_title]
\nThe only ape on the list! Chunmun is the beloved monkey of Brajesh and Shabista Srivastava, a very wealthy and childless Indian couple. They adopted Chunmun in 2004 and basically raised his like he was their son. The couple had no contact with their families due to their marriage (they were not of the same religion and that was prohibited for them). Chunmun is a long-tailed macaque who is basically doted upon in every way. The ape is set to inherit the house he is living in and the businesses his ‘parents’ own when they pass away. Interesting.

\n
\n[post_page_title]Tina and Kate – $720,000[\/post_page_title]
\nTina and Kate are worth $720,000 between the two of them. These two smart canines managed to out rank their human counterparts for the running of will and testament. The two spoiled dogs have a full-time care giver who takes care of the, and the house they both inherited when their owner passed away. Their since deceased owner, Nora Hardwell, was a well-known recluse in Britain, left her home and money to the dogs until their deaths, after which the remaining money would go to charity. In the photo below we see Tina and Kate with their butler, Henry Scott.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Tinker – $160,000[\/post_page_title]
\nTinker the cat is worth $160,000. Let that sink in for a second. A cat is worth that much. Tinker was a wise kitten though, he befriended an elderly lady who decided to leave all of her money to her feline friend. The cat was left money and the house he was living in. Not shocking at all, Tinker’s life was being threatened (we can already see the ransom note!), so he was moved to a safer place. That safer place was a mansion, in case you were wondering.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Jasper and Jason – $100,000[\/post_page_title]
\nDiana Myburgh, a brewery heiress, left trust funds for each of her dogs. Each fund was for $50,000. Jasper, a Labrador-Doberman combination and Jason, a Whippet, were official trust fund babies as of 1995, when the heiress passed away. Like Gunther, Jasper and Jason’s money was invested and has since tripled in value. We wonder how they’re going to spend their money… chew toys or over the top haircuts?
\n
\n

\n[post_page_title]Bella Mia – $1.5 Million[\/post_page_title]
\nBella Mia already has a nickname, and it’s a pretty impressive one – The Million Dollar Maltese. Bella Mia is the pet companion of Rose Ann Bolsany, an American accountant with an approximate net worth of $1.5 million. Bolsany cut both of her sons out of her last will and testament to make room for her beloved furry friend because she said that she cares for her more. Classy.
\n
\n

The money was for the animals to continues living in their current home. The three adorable home bodies are currently housed in their deceased owners $15 million home. We love how they remain a family, of a dog and cats no less.
\n
