The world’s richest dog has recently been making the news, so now it’s time for the world’s richest cat.
It is not an ordinary feline because it belongs to Taylor Swift, whose net worth is a cool £792 million.
Taylor Swift’s cat, Olivia Benson, has made a name for herself, not only by relying on her super famous owner.
Olivia is officially the richest cat in the world with an estimated net worth of £77 million – more than double what Spider-Man star Tom Holland is worth, according to Heat’s 2024 Rich List.
The Scottish Fold is named after Mariska Hargitay’s Law & Order: SVU character. Her fortune came from her work in commercials, music videos, and even her own merchandise.
To put it in perspective, even though Tom Holland is one of the richest celebrities under 30 in 2024, he has an estimated net worth of around £20 million. That’s nowhere near Swift’s feline friend.
Olivia has starred in ads for major brands, including Keds, AT&T, and Diet Coke. In one memorable Diet Coke ad, Swift takes a sip of her drink, and kittens appear all around her—one of them being Olivia.
She’s also featured in Swift’s music videos for hit songs like Blank Space and Me! And even had a cameo in the Karma video.
The celebrity cat joined Swift’s household in 2014, following in the footsteps of Swift’s other pets, Meredith Grey and Benjamin Button.
Like her siblings, Olivia is named after a fictional character – but she’s the one who has taken the spotlight.
While Olivia’s success has earned her fans worldwide, her breed has also sparked debate.
Scottish Folds are loved for their folded ears, but the British Veterinary Association raised concerns about the breed’s health due to a genetic condition that affects their joints.
What’s more shocking, though, is that Olivia’s massive net worth isn’t even the highest among pets.
A German Shepherd named Gunther VI reportedly holds the title of the wealthiest pet in the world, with an eye-watering fortune of £400 million.
Still, Olivia’s £77 million makes her the wealthiest cat, comfortably out-earning most celebrities.
