2. Choupette is a famous pet and a business icon

The legendary designer Karl Lagerfield once described his beloved feline’s eyes as star sapphires. Her name is Choupette, a French nickname for cute girls. Lagerfield died in 2019 from pancreatic cancer. Although lawyers are still settling his $200 million estate, rumors circulated that he’d left his entire fortune to his Birman cat, Choupette. The famous cat lives with a nanny in Paris, but she’s not an idle feline. Lagerfield’s brand put out a line of handbags featuring Choupette’s face and she’s featured in a variety of magazines. Publishers released a small book of Lagerfield’s iPhone snaps in 2019 and it sold out. All royalties went to Choupette.
