Taylor Swift’s cat is living the purr-fect life!

The cute Scottish Fold named Olivia Benson, one of three cats that call the 33-year-old pop superstar Mom, just made it to the Richest Pets list of All About Cats. And her estimated net worth is more than what most of us will earn in a lifetime!

Olivia's Stunning Net Worth

Olivia has a jaw-dropping $97 million net worth, landing her on the number three spot of the website’s “The Ultimate Pet Rich List.”

How Did She Earn Her Fortune?

According to the site, the fluffy feline amassed her wealth by starring with Swift in some of her music videos and appearing in ads for Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers, among others. Plus, she has her own line of merch.

Who's Number Two?

Number two on the list – and beating Olivia’s net worth by just $3 million – is Nala Cat, who earned her $100 million fortune from her own premium cat food brand.

The Top Dog

And on the top spot is Gunther VI, a German Shepherd with a $500 million net worth. Owned by the Gunther Corporation, the dog inherited $80 million from his grandfather and grew it to $500 million through real estate investments.
