Olivia Benson is worth a reported $97 million as Forbes style list is made for wealthiest pets

Taylor Swift may not have any sons or daughters yet, but her beloved children in the form of pet cats are following their famous mother in wealth stakes.

A Forbes-style list has been compiled with Taylor’s cat Olivia Benson taking third place in the rankings after the Scottish Fold is worth a reported $97 million.

Olivia Benson, Meredith Gray and Benjamin Button make regular appearances on the Bejeweled singer’s social media pages and the wealthiest of the three has even clinched a role in a Coca-Cola advert with Taylor Swift.

The list which ranked Olivia as the third wealthiest pet in the world, created by All About Cats, calculated the cat’s wealth by using Instagram data including the amount of likes per post to estimate how much they would make.

Olivia Benson may not have her own Instagram account, but as the child of a global superstar, she is sure reaping the awards as a nepo-baby would.

While Olivia Benson clinched the third place on the wealthiest pets list, other notable celebrity pets that took the fourth spot were Oprah Winfrey’s dogs Sunny, Lauren and Sadie.

Each of the pampered pooches have a trust fund set up for them and the spaniels will be sure to inherit a whopping $30 million when their television presenter mother passes away.

In 2014, Oprah spoke of her pets saying: “Over the years I have felt the truest, purest love - the love of God, really, I imagine what God’s love feels like is - is the love that comes from your dog.”

Another nepotism baby of sorts is Karl Lagerfeld’s Choupette who is continuing to live the high life following the death of the German fashion designer.

Karl first bought Choupette, a blue-cream tortie Birman cat, in 2011, and was rumoured to pass on an inheritance of $13 million after he passed from pancreatic cancer.

Choupette provided much inspiration to the designer and has just celebrated her eleventh birthday surrounded by champagne and presents - the perfect setting for the sixth wealthiest pet.
