Taylor Swift is richer than most of us, but that wealth apparently extends to her beloved felines as well—or at least one special feline. Swift's cat, Olivia Benson, is the third-richest pet in the world, according to AllAboutCats.com, which uses estimates from Instagram posts, genetic earnings and other known financial data to estimate each Pet Net Worth data compiled a Forbes- style list of the world's richest pets. effort.
The cat, named after Mariska Hargitay's character from "Law & Order: SVU," is reportedly worth a staggering $97 million, compared to her owner's $570 million The U.S. dollar's net worth still pales in comparison. Impressively, the cat is almost as rich as Hargitay, who has a net worth of $100 million, according to Parade . Unlike many of the pets on this list, Swift doesn't run an Instagram page for Olivia or any of her cats, who only occasionally appear on her social media, meaning the cat has amassed her wealth through other means .
Instead, the Scottish Fold cat's net worth comes from appearing in several of Swift's music videos, such as "Blank Space," as well as "guest appearances in numerous big-budget commercials, including ones for Diet Coke and Ned sneakers." The singer has also previously sold her cat-themed merchandise on her online store, profits from which will apparently benefit Olivia.

When it comes to rich cats, Olivia ranks second behind Nala the Cat, who holds the Guinness World Record for being the most followed cat on Instagram and is reportedly worth $100 million. However, much to their likely disgust, both cats were beaten by dogs. German shepherd Gunther VI is reportedly the richest pet in the world, with a net worth nearly equal to Swift's. The dog's grandfather, Gunther III, inherited an $80 million fortune from his owner, German Countess Carlotta Leibenstein, and his net worth has grown to $500 million thanks to investments from Gunther's company (is , the dog has its own legacy).
Swift's other two cats, Meredith Gray (named after the Grey's Anatomy character) and Benjamin Button (inspired by the Brad Pitt movie), are not on the list, which means Their net worth remains unknown. However, consider that Swift didn't adopt Benjamin until 2019, when he starred in her "ME!" music video. Meredith is known to be unwilling to do anything, and Olivia is probably indeed the richest feline in her family.
