10 of the Most Pampered Pets on Earth – Kinship
The cost of living is on the rise: rents are going up, employment opportunities are dwindling, gas is nearing $5 per gallon in some states, and don’t even get me started on the price of groceries! And yet, even amidst all this hardship, for better or worse, there are still plenty of pets living their best luxury lives thanks to well-to-do parents who spare no expense where their furry favorites are concerned.
From daily spa-level grooming sessions to designer clothes to mansions built just for them, it’s enough to make you look at the drudgery of your own human life and despair. But hey, at least you don’t have to wear a collar or use a litter box. Then again, maybe that’s a price you’d be willing to pay if it meant trading places with one of these ultra-pampered pets.
YouTuber Ryan Lapinski spent an estimated $125,000 on a custom catioopens in new tab for his once feral cat Ebony, her six siblings, and three fosters. The luxury catio consists of three separate wood structures, wrapped in special fencing to keep the cats safe and keep potential predators out. The structures are connected to each other and the main house via 100 feet of aboveground tunnels. Meanwhile, the closest thing I’ve got to home-adjacent outdoor space is a fire escape covered in pigeon poop.
When Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld died in 2019, he entrusted the care of his beloved cat, Choupette, to one of his longtime housekeepers, Françoise Caçote. Now nearly 14 years old, Choupette continues to live the high life in the Parisian apartment she shares with Caçote and her family. She eats out of delicate Chinese porcelain bowls, travels first class in her own Louis Vuitton luggage, is groomed daily at her leisure, sleeps on piles of Chanel clothing (as has always been her custom), and even celebrated her 13th birthdayopens in new tab at the Palace of Versailles.
Lagerfeld’s fortune at the time of his death is estimated to have been around $300 million, and although French law prohibits pets from inheriting, at least some portion of that was earmarked for her care, maybe even millions. “She’s an heiress,” Lagerfeld reportedly told Numéro in 2018opens in new tab. “If something happens to me, the person who will take care of [her] will not be in misery. She's a rich girl!"
