These little darlings are millionaires, and they have the diamond
collars, mini-mansions and designer fragrances to prove it! That’s right
folks, PlayHugeLottos.com takes a look at the world’s richest pets.
As lottery players we are of course interested in the wonderful world of the rich and famous.
For some the fame is negotiable, in fact, anonymity is oftentimes a
lottery winner’s best friend. The money, of course, is never negotiable!
These
days wealth is not just consigned to the realm of humans. The fact is,
some of the world’s wealthiest people would much rather leave their
fortunes to a furry companion than to their human friends and relatives.
Behold the World’s Richest Pets
PlayHugeLottos.com
has searched the globe and collected a list of the richest animals in
the world. In fact, many of these animals are richer than a lot of
lottery winners out there!
Gunther IV - Without a
doubt Gunther IV is the richest German Shepherd in the world. His
father, Gunther III, inherited a $124 million trust fund in 1992 upon
the death of his owner, Countess Karlotta Liebenstein. Gunther III then
left his wealth to his son Gunther IV. This poochie property tycoon
bought Madonna’s old Miami mansion. The growing trust fund of Gunther IV
is now estimated at an astonishing $372 million.
Kalu the Chimp
- How about a chimpanzee? Kalu inherited Patricia O’Neill’s $109
million fortune to ensure her husband wouldn’t get a penny. The fortune
includes a farm and mansion in Australia.
Meet Tobey Rimes, richer than many lottery winners out there...
Tobey Rimes – Tobey wasn’t your ordinary dog, he
enjoyed living a life of opulence in the New York City home he shared
with his owner, Ella Wendel. He didn’t have to worry about giving up
that life either as she left him $92 million upon her death.
Keiko
- The killer whale that starred in Free Willy films is the richest
whale on earth. His total earnings by the time of his death were
estimated at $35 million.
Gigoo the $10 Million Chicken – A chicken? Gigoo received a £10-million present from publishing magnate owner Miles Blackwell.
Trouble
– Last but not least we have Trouble Helmsley. Unfortunately for
Trouble, relatives of real estate baron Leona Helmsley contested her
will and poor Trouble ended up with a mere $2 million instead of the
original $12 million he was meant to receive.
It is perhaps
somewhat disturbing that animals should be given access (even if only
symbolically) to such vast sums of money. That, however, is their
owner’s prerogative.
One of the most important things that money
can buy a person is freedom and that includes the freedom to gift their
money to whomever they may choose, whether it be a cashier that sold
them a
winning lottery ticket, a favoured friend or family member or even their best pooch.
