Recently, a list of the world's wealthiest pets hit the media and caused a stir bigger than a coronation. Think your pet has it made? Check out these lucky animals:
Gunther IV, an Alsatian (that's a German Shepherd in the United States!) said to be worth $320 million. Unconfirmed reports state that this incredible sum of money was left to Gunther's canine father by Countess Karlotta Libenstein when she passed away in 1992.
Kalu, a chimpanzee, became the main beneficiary of a trust amounting to some $95 million "big bananas." Owner Patricia O'Neill replaced her husband, Australian Olympic swimmer Frank O'Neill - the former beneficiary - with Kalu while Frank was at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
Toby Rimes, a dog of unknown breeding, lapped up approximately $80 million when his owner, Ella Wendel, suddenly passed away. Word is that Toby, a New York City native, has become an instant celebrity around his Central Park stomping grounds.
