Silver N
They’re cute, they’re cuddly, they’re loyal, and sometimes, they’re even rich. It’s hard to imagine what an animal could do with millions of dollars, but these charming pets have it all figured out. Animals have a way of working their way into our hearts, and in some of these cases, they even work their way into our wills thanks to certain legal loopholes. Some generous pet owners that wanted to make sure their pets would be taken care of, should they outlive their owners, have set these furry friends up for life.
This may come as a bit of a surprise, but the richest animal on the list is worth over $375 million (£294 million)! He’s a German Shepherd called Gunther IV, and has his own personal maid and butler, eats steak and caviar, and possesses several million-dollar homes.
