We all know that pop superstar Taylor Swift is rich. But did you know that her pet cat is also rich? According to the Pet Rich List, Taylor’s Scottish Fold, Olivia Benson, is worth a whopping $97 million, making her the third richest pet in the world.
How does a cat get such an astonishing net worth? It comes from a mix of endorsements, social media appearances and more. Olivia has found success outside of the world of Instagram influencing. The cat earned her fortune starring alongside her owner in several music videos, has crafted her own merchandise line (sold on Swift’s website back in 2018), and has had cameos in many big-budget ads, including for the likes of Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers.
Swift’s “Blank Space” music video, which currently has over 3 billion views on YouTube, features Olivia and she also starred in an AT&T ad alongside her singer-songwriter.
Taylor named her cat after the Law & Order: SVU character Olivia Benson. It seems Olivia the cat is worth way more than Olivia the crime fighting detective.
Even with a $97 million net worth, Olivia is only ranked 3rd on the Rich Pet List. The number one spot is claimed by Gunther VI, a German shepherd owned by the Gunther Corporation, who is worth $500 million. Number two is Nala Cat with a net worth of $100 million. Nala Cat has an impressive 4.4 million followers on Instagram and her own brand of cat food. At $14,419 per post, Nala Cat is the highest-earning cat in the Instagram Influencer line-up.
