Their daily routine includes meals prepared by personal chefs, regular spa treatments, and custom-built living quarters within Oprah’s multiple estates. Each dog has personalized bedding in every one of Oprah’s homes, ensuring they never have to adapt to unfamiliar surroundings when traveling between properties. Their healthcare plan includes regular visits from veterinary specialists who come directly to them rather than the other way around.
Karl Lagerfeld’s Cat Choupette The Feline Fashion Icon
The late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette became a legend in her own right. This blue-cream Birman cat inherited approximately $13 million after Lagerfeld’s passing in 2019. Before his death, Choupette enjoyed the services of two dedicated maids who catered to her every need 24/7, documenting her daily activities in a journal. She dined from Goyard dishes and had access to her own iPad. As a model, Choupette earned over $3 million from two commercial campaigns—one for a German car company and another for a Japanese beauty brand. She has her book, “Choupette: The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat,” and maintains an impressive social media presence managed by her team. Today, she continues to maintain her luxurious lifestyle with Lagerfeld’s former housekeeper, who was chosen to care for her after his passing.

Olivia Benson, named after the “Law & Order: SVU” character, has an estimated net worth of $97 million according to the “Ultimate Pet Rich List,” making her one of the wealthiest pets in the world. This impressive fortune comes from appearing in several of Swift’s music videos, creating her merchandise line, and featuring in high-profile advertisements for brands like Diet Coke and Keds. All three cats enjoy custom-built cat furniture in each of Swift’s homes, designer collars, and premium organic cat food. They’ve also become celebrities in their own right, with frequent appearances on Swift’s social media accounts that reach hundreds of millions of followers.

As a fixture on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Giggy attended red carpet events dressed in custom-made suits that often matched Vanderpump’s outfits. His wardrobe was estimated to be worth over $10,000, featuring pieces from canine couture designers and even human fashion houses adapted for his tiny frame. Due to a health condition that caused hair loss, Giggy rarely went without his stylish ensembles. He had his agent and made paid appearances at events, with his fee reportedly starting at $5,000.

Asia, often referred to as “Batpig” or “Asia Monster,” has been featured in high-fashion photoshoots for publications like Harper’s Bazaar and has appeared in campaigns for Coach. The pampered pooch has her own Instagram account with hundreds of thousands of followers. These Frenchies travel via private jet and stay in five-star hotels during Gaga’s tours and appearances. In 2021, the world learned just how valuable these dogs are when dognappers targeted Koji and Gustav, stealing them and shooting the dog walker in a violent attack. Gaga offered a $500,000 reward for their safe return, demonstrating both their monetary and emotional value to her. Since their recovery, security measures for the dogs have increased significantly, with professional handlers and bodyguards now accompanying them during outings.

Norman and Bambi, the most prominent of the pack, once had their own Instagram account with millions of followers, though it’s now inactive. When Jenner’s daughter Stormi was born, the dogs received “big sister/brother” gifts, including diamond-studded collars worth thousands of dollars. The Greyhounds exclusively eat organic, human-grade food prepared by a chef who creates balanced meals tailored to each dog’s nutritional needs. During the rare occasions when Jenner must travel without them, they stay in luxury pet hotels that cost upwards of $1,000 per night, complete with “suite” accommodations and spa services.
Justin Bieber’s Exotic Cats Savannah Cats Worth $35,000 Each
Justin Bieber takes pet luxury to another level with his pair of Savannah cats, Sushi and Tuna, which reportedly cost $35,000 each. These exotic felines are F1 Savannahs, meaning they’re first-generation crosses between a domestic cat and a serval (a wild African cat), making them among the most expensive cat breeds in the world. The singer purchased them in 2019 and promptly created an Instagram account for them (@kittysushiandtuna), which quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of followers. These hybrid cats enjoy a custom-built enclosure in Bieber’s home that features climbing walls, tunnels, and outdoor access while maintaining their safety. Their diet consists of premium raw food specially formulated for hybrid cats, costing approximately $2,500 monthly. Sushi and Tuna receive regular visits from a specialized exotic animal veterinarian who comes to Bieber’s home for check-ups, and they travel between his properties in custom carriers designed for their comfort and safety.

Miley Cyrus’s Menagerie A $400,000 Car for Her Dogs
Miley Cyrus has become known for her extensive collection of rescued animals, but the way she treats them is anything but ordinary. Her pets—including multiple dogs, cats, pigs, and horses—enjoy extraordinary luxury. Perhaps most notably, Cyrus once reportedly purchased a $400,000 Range Rover Sport specifically for her dogs to travel in comfort. The vehicle was modified with raised platforms so her canine companions could look out the windows and featured custom upholstery resistant to claw marks and accidents. Her pets enjoy a dedicated space in her $5.8 million Nashville farmhouse, with climate-controlled rooms, custom-built play areas, and even specialized flooring designed for animal comfort. Each of her dogs has a personalized diet created by a pet nutritionist, costing an estimated $3,000 monthly for the entire animal family.

Karl Lagerfeld’s Godson Hudson Kroenig’s Spoiled Pet
While technically not a celebrity himself, Hudson Kroenig, godson to the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, has a pet whose lifestyle exceeds most human expectations. Cat Choupette gifted Hudson a kitten several years ago, and this feline heir to Choupette’s legacy lives an extraordinarily pampered life. The cat resides in the Kroenig family’s luxury New York apartment but travels frequently to Paris and other fashion capitals where Hudson, now a budding model, works on campaigns. The fortunate feline has a wardrobe of custom collars designed by former Chanel artisans and toys crafted from the same leather used in luxury handbags. Its travel carrier is a modified Goyard pet tote worth approximately $2,500. The cat enjoys fresh-caught fish prepared by the family’s chef and has access to a cat-friendly interior designed by a former Lagerfeld associate who created climbing platforms integrated seamlessly with the apartment’s high-end décor. Regular grooming sessions with a specialist who previously tended to Choupette ensure the cat maintains its photogenic appearance, especially important when it occasionally appears in Hudson’s modeling portfolios for major fashion houses.
Amanda Seyfried’s Australian Shepherd Finn’s Fame and Fortune
Amanda Seyfried’s Australian Shepherd, Finn, has established himself as one of Hollywood’s most famous four-legged celebrities with a lifestyle to match. This photogenic pooch has appeared on late-night talk shows with his famous owner and has an Instagram following of over 80,000 fans. Finn’s talents extend beyond social media; he has appeared in commercial campaigns for Givenchy alongside Seyfried, earning his paychecks. These modeling gigs have reportedly added thousands to Finn’s “college fund,” as Seyfried jokingly calls it. Finn travels first-class or via private jet when accompanying Seyfried to film sets around the world and has his own dedicated trailer space. His wardrobe includes custom-made bandanas from designer materials and specialty outerwear for various weather conditions. Finn enjoys a diet of premium organic dog food supplemented with homemade treats prepared according to recipes Seyfried developed specifically for him. When at home, he has access to several acres of fenced property where he can run freely, along with a custom-built agility course that keeps his mind and body engaged. Perhaps most impressively, Finn has helped Seyfried raise awareness for animal adoption causes, making appearances at charity events where his meet-and-greet sessions have raised thousands of dollars.
Floyd Mayweather’s Tiger Exotic Pet Luxury
Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather took pet luxury to controversial new heights when he owned a tiger named Kenya. While the tiger is no longer in his possession (following justified criticism from animal welfare organizations), during the time Kenya lived with Mayweather, the big cat experienced an outrageous level of opulence. Mayweather reportedly paid $150,000 to purchase the tiger as a cub. Kenya resided in a custom-built enclosure at one of Mayweather’s mansions, featuring temperature control, a pool, and specialized flooring. The tiger’s diet consisted of premium meats costing approximately $3,000 monthly, with specialized vitamin supplements adding to the expense. Mayweather employed a full-time exotic animal specialist to care for Kenya, with a salary estimated at over $100,000 annually. The boxing champion also reportedly had custom diamond-encrusted accessories made for the tiger, including a walking harness valued at over $30,000. Transportation between Mayweather’s properties required specialized vehicles with custom modifications for the tiger’s safety and comfort. While Mayweather’s ownership of a tiger raised serious ethical concerns about private exotic pet ownership—and rightly so—it represents perhaps the most extreme example of celebrity pet excess.
The Ethical Considerations of Luxury Pet Lifestyles
While these celebrity pets certainly live enviable lives from a material perspective, their stories raise important ethical questions about indulgent pet ownership. Lavishing animals with luxury—organic meals, designer accessories, and spa treatments—may seem harmless, even admirable. In many cases, these animals benefit from exceptional care, nutrition, and veterinary attention that surpasses what most pets receive. However, the spectacle of luxury pets, especially those showcased as extensions of their owners’ brands or lifestyles, can blur the lines between affection and exploitation. Social media fame, product endorsements, and appearances at high-profile events may position pets as performers or status symbols, rather than cherished companions. The practice of using pets to boost personal branding or commercial ventures often walks a fine ethical line.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while the pampered lives of celebrity pets may appear charming or aspirational, they invite deeper reflection on the responsibilities of pet ownership in the age of social media and consumerism. True companionship should prioritize an animal’s well-being over spectacle or profit. As pets increasingly become part of personal branding strategies, it’s vital to consider whether their needs and dignity are being honored or overshadowed by the pursuit of status and attention. Balancing love and care with ethical awareness ensures that pets remain what they were meant to be: companions, not commodities.
As a little kid, I fell in love with nature, wildlife, and animals. Living in the USA, South Africa, Italy, China and Germany gave me the opportunity to discover the world's Wildlife. My favorite animals are Mountain Gorillas, Siberian Tigers, and Great White Sharks.
I'm a certified PADI Open Water Diver, went to Everest Base Camp and Trekked Gorillas in Uganda. I hold a Master of Science in Economics and Finance.
