Here are the top 10 richest animals who inherited their fortunes from their owners: **1.

The trust has grown substantially through real estate investments. **2. Nala Cat (Tabby/Siamese mix) - $100 million** This Instagram-famous cat has built a massive social media empire and inherited additional wealth from her owner's estate planning. **3. Olivia Benson (Scottish Fold) - $97 million** Taylor Swift's cat has accumulated wealth through appearances in commercials and music videos, plus inheritance provisions. **4. Grumpy Cat (Mixed breed) - $99.5 million estate** Though Grumpy Cat passed away in 2019, she had accumulated significant wealth through endorsements and merchandising, which was inherited by her estate. **5. Boo (Pomeranian) - $8 million** Known as "World's Cutest Dog," Boo inherited from his owner and had substantial social media earnings. **6. Jiffpom (Pomeranian) - $25 million** This social media star inherited from his owner's estate and continues earning through appearances. **7. Blackie (Cat) - $7 million** In 1988, this British cat inherited the bulk of millionaire Ben Rea's estate, making him the richest cat at the time. **8. Trouble (Maltese) - $2 million** Leona Helmsley's dog inherited $12 million initially, though it was later reduced to $2 million after legal challenges. **9. Tinker (Cat) - $800,000** This British cat inherited from his owner Margaret Layne in 2010. **10.
