Most pets fetch and lounge in the sun, but these are no ordinary animals. They’ve also enjoyed massive fortunes.
Some were left inheritances big enough to buy private islands. Their humans may be gone, but the money lives on in their everyday lives, and in trust funds that would make any banker jealous.
Whether they were born into luxury or clawed their way to the top, these stories prove that being man’s best friend can seriously pay off.
This gallery introduces the world’s wealthiest pets, and it’ll leave you wondering how to come back as a chihuahua in your next life.
