Everybody loves their pets, it is difficult not to because they become a part and parcel of our lives and family. It is a very common thing for people to give their pets as much as they would take themselves. Requirements for these well loved lucky ones are fulfilled keeping no heed to the dollar.

The extent to which people go to keep their pets happy is at its peak when some of these pets have more money than a lot of people combined together. It has happened since a long time in history those pets have been glorified just as much as some of their masters, in the modern day, people leave entire properties to their pets. Here’s a look at some of the Richest Pets in the world.

Trouble Helmsley is the name of a dog that was given the surname of its owner and a 12 million dollar bonus at the same time. The case of the dog gained even more attention when the courts declared that the owner Leona Helmsley was in fact mentally disturbed.

The cat inherited the fortune in 2005 and this also strangely annoyed many people who were jealous of the fact that a cat could have so much money; Tinker was moved to a secured house and well taken care of.

Beryl Reid’s Cat

The cats that belonged to British comedienne and actress inherited the estate which was valued in the markets at around 1.8 million USD. The cats that were taken care of by a good friend of the actress and they all lived together. The four cats were kept in the highest imaginable luxuries even after the actress passed away.
