Miserable moggie Grumpy Cat can afford to crack
a smile after earning her owner an alleged £64 million thanks to
her unlikely internet fame.
Internet celebrity Grumpy Cat might finally crack a smile when
she realises how much money she’s earned for her owner.
The unlikely career of Grumpy - real name Tardar Sauce – took
off two years ago with a YouTube video which has been viewed over
15 million times.
A bestselling book, an iced coffee brand called Grumppuccino and
even a film (Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas) has since followed, all
of which have earned her owner Tabatha Bundesen
an estimated £64 million.
The pet cat also has its own agent.
“She’s unstoppable,” Bundesen, from Morristown, Arizona, told
the Express
“What she’s achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and
absolutely mind-blowing.
“I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her
first appearance on social media and the phone simply hasn’t
stopped ringing since.”
Bundesen added: “People take one look at her and fall in love,
even if they actually think she’s pug ugly.”
But Bundesen denies that her miserable moggy has bagged £64
million ... enough cash to buy footballer Cristiano
Ronaldo.
Whilst refusing to divulge actual figures, Bundesen said she's
thinking about totting up earnings in a full TV interview - a
performance which would undoubtedly add to the bottom line.
Grumpy, whose downbeat expression is due to feline dwarfism, now
earns more than many Hollywood A-list stars and recently topped
Time Magazine’s list of ‘Most Influential Animals’ for the second
year running.
