Anyone who follows Internet memes at all knows that the lovably crabby feline Grumpy Cat has taken the online world by storm and is now pure gold for her lucky owner. But exactly how much gold is this famous cat actually worth?
One report in the British tabloid The Daily Express valued the Internet sensation’s net worth at $100 million, encompassing a TV movie deal, two bestselling books and more than six million Facebook fans.
But Tabatha Bundesen, owner of Grumpy Cat (whose real name is Tardar Sauce), disputed that figure to the Huffington Post. While she declined to specify an earnings amount, Bundesen said she is considering how and when to give a full interview to set the record straight on the financial aspects of the Grumpy Cat phenomenon.
Grumpy Cat – whose permanent scowl is attributed to an underbite and dwarfism - has reportedly already earned her Morristown, Arizona, owner millions of dollars.
It has also been speculated that the sourpuss earned more money than Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz and Matthew McConaughey in the last two years.
“What she’s achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and absolutely mind-blowing,” Bundesen said. “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.”
