Choupette is now richer than most people on the planet
Karl Lagerfeld’s catthe famous Choupette, inherited $1.5 million from the famous fashion designer, who died in 2019 at the age of 85. However, it is not clear who is managing all this money, according to a report by the “Daily Mail”.
It is impressive that in recent years more and more famous and rich people after their death leave part of their huge fortune to their beloved pets, in order to ensure a good quality of life for their four-legged friends. However, leaving a lot of cash to a pet is a “grey” area.
Choupette is now richer than most people on the planet. Many can imagine her eating the most expensive bowl of kibble – if she eats such a “base” pet food – and sleeping only on the softest beds.

As seen on her personal Instagram account, she travels in style, in a special $2,000 Louis Vuitton case, and only gets on private jets.
In France, where Choupette resides – as in the United States and the United Kingdom – pets are considered property and therefore cannot inherit a cent!

“In France you cannot designate a pet as a beneficiary of an inheritance. In order for a beneficiary to receive an inheritance, it must be a natural person or an institution“, a well-known lawyer who deals with similar cases told CBS News in 2019.
However, there are still many ways one can leave money behind to ensure a pet’s well-being. Although, it’s unclear what Lagerfeld chose…

The most common method is to leave the money to the new carer. Lagerfeld’s cat also has its own source of income, including modeling work, collaborations with the likes of Lucy Balu, and being the subject of two books, among other assets.
“She has her own small fortune“, the famous designer once said. “If something happens to me, the person who takes care of her will not be unhappy. She is a rich girl!».
