In a recent report reminiscent of Forbes-style rankings, the website AllAboutCats.com unveiled a list spotlighting the world’s most affluent pets. Among the notable entries was none other than Olivia Benson, the cherished feline companion of pop sensation Taylor Swift. Olivia, adopted by the singer back in 2014, boasts an estimated net worth of a staggering $97 million, eclipsing the financial standing of Swift’s beau, NFL star Travis Kelce, who clocks in at $40 million.
Renowned for her appearances alongside Taylor in various music videos, Olivia Benson has become a household name, earning a sizable fortune in the process. Inspired by Mariska Hargitay’s iconic character from ‘Law and Order: SVU’, the feline has ventured into the realm of merchandise and secured coveted spots in high-profile advertisements, including campaigns for Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers.
Taylor Swift, with a formidable net worth of $740 million according to Forbes, has strategically integrated Olivia into her creative projects, featuring the feline in hit music videos like ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Me!’. Olivia’s cameo roles extend beyond music, gracing screens in commercials such as the notable Diet Coke ad of 2014.
While Olivia Benson reigns supreme in Taylor’s pet empire, her fellow feline companion Benjamin Button, named after Brad Pitt’s character in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, did not secure a spot on the esteemed pets rich list.
