With social media at an all-time high, it’s no surprise that even our furry friends are making it big in the money-making game. Pets have become global stars, bringing in hefty paychecks and luxurious lifestyles. But just how much can a pet rake in?

Pontiac
This golden retriever was owned by the legendary Betty White and had a whopping $5 million set aside for him in her will. Technically, Pontiac never got to collect his inheritance as he died a few years before Betty, but he still had quite the net worth.
Trouble
This beloved Maltese dog of billionaire hotel magnate Leona Helmsley had an estimated net worth of $12 million. Upon Helmsley’s passing in 2007, Trouble inherited a substantial portion of her estate, making the dog a millionaire. A judge later changed the inheritance to $2 million. According to news reports, Trouble even had a full-time security guard.
Choupette
The famous Siamese cat, owned by the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, has an estimated net worth of $13 million. Choupette has lived in the lap of luxury with her private maids and an extensive wardrobe of designer clothing. She also garnered significant income from endorsement deals and modeling.

Sadie, Sunny, Lauren, Layla and Luke
Having a famous owner might not be such a bad thing. Oprah Winfrey owns Sadie (Cocker Spaniel), Sunny (Springer Spaniel), Lauren (Springer Spaniel), Layla (Golden Retriever), and Luke (Golden Retriever), all of whom have an attractive inheritance of $30 million each. That’s a shocking $150 million set aside for her furry family.

With over 4.3 million followers on Instagram, she holds a Guinness World Record for the most Instagram followers for a cat.
Gunther VI
While this fury millionaire might not be self-made, he has a shocking net worth of $500 million, making him the wealthiest pet on the planet. His wealth primarily stems from the trust fund set up by his late owner, German countess Karlotta Liebenstein, who left her vast fortune to Gunther’s care. Under the management of the Gunther Corporation, Gunther VI has lived a life of luxury, enjoying multimillion-dollar properties, including a mansion in Miami once owned by pop icon Madonna.
