These Animals Are the Richest Pets in History

3. Tardar Sauce, a.k.a. Grumpy Cat, was a self-made millionaire

Social media has created a long list of stars, but few have achieved the level of fame and financial success this feline garnered. Tarder Sauce, a mixed-breed cat with an underbite and feline dwarfism, first earned notoriety after her owner, Tabatha Bundesen, posted the feline’s picture on Reddit. The image went viral. From merchandise to sponsorships and media appearances, this unique cat raked in the big bucks and earned an estimated $100 million. Her official Instagram has 2.6 million followers. Sadly, Tardar Sauce died in 2019 at the age of seven, but her iconic face still brings smiles to the social media universe.
