If you thought the success of a "nepo baby" was unjust and unfair, just wait until you learn the fortune of Taylor Swift's nepaw fur baby, Scottish Fold Olivia Benson.
In a Forbes-style list created by allaboutcats.com, T-Swift's feline companion made number three on The Ultimate Pet Rich List: The Richest Pets in the World.
According to the site—which rated pets based on their analyzation of Instagram likes, followers and engagement rates—Ms. Benson has a net worth of $97 million.
We'll give you a second to retrieve your jaw from the floor.
The creators justified Olivia Benson's place on the podium.
"At the number three spot is Olivia Benson, the best friend and companion of artist Taylor Swift, who asks the question: is Instagram celebrity really the most profitable profession for your pet?"
"With a whopping $97 million net worth, Olivia has found success outside of the world of Instagram influencing."
"The Scottish Fold earned her fortune starring alongside her owner in several music videos, has crafted her own merchandise line, and has had cameos in many big-budget ads, including for the likes of Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers."
While the justification is valid...
She worked hard for her money
She did ads music videos movies
She owns a company
Her siblings can't relate pic.twitter.com/2rvfvkLmb0
