Everybody loves their pets - but some clearly more than others. A list compiled by insurance aggregator Compare the Market on Thursday revealed the world's richest pets, pampered beyond your wildest dreams and raking in millions, thanks to handsome legacies left to them by their loving owners.
This list includes cats, dogs and even a chicken! Take a look at the top five of the world's richest pets:
5. Gigoo
Chicken, worth $15 million
Gigoo, a chicken, belonged to British multi-millionaire publisher Miles Blackwell, who left it $15 million in his will.
4. Sadie, Sunny, Lauren, Layla, and Luke
Dogs, together worth $30 Million
Being Oprah Winfrey's pets must have many perks, we assume. One such perk is the fact that she has agreed to leave her pooches $30 million in her will, placing them at the fourth spot on the list of the world's richest pets.
3. Olivia Benson
Cat, worth $97 Million
Taylor Swift's cat Olivia Benson has appeared in various commercials, including Diet Coke and Keds shoes. This Scottish Fold cat is worth a cool $97 million.
