The Internet is a very powerful thing and, as those knowledgeable in memes have feared for a while, it is now leaking to reality ... so much that the owner of Grumpy Cat has $100 million in her bank account since her cat became famous!
The cat formerly known as Tardar Sauce that has turned into a meme ever since her picture was first posted on Reddit in September 2012, has made her owner, Tabatha Bundensen, a very rich woman since then and Grumpy Cat's $100 million earnings are the best testimony of this!
According to a Daily Express report over the weekend, the current net worth of Grumpy Cat is $100 million - about £64 million, a fortune larger than many other celebrities that work for it instead of just looking very grumpy at all times. In any case, the funny-looking cat has been certainly racking up the bucks!
Another report by Slate states that, if the story about Grumpy Cat's $100 million fortune is true, the Internet's favorite feline would have made more money in the past year than stars like Kanye West, Cristiano Ronaldo or Leonardo DiCaprio. And even that way, Tardar Sauce remains grumpy!
According to her owner, Grumpy Cat looks the way she does due to a combination of feline dwarfism and an underbite; she also says that, even though she doesn't look it, Tardar Sauce is a very sweet-tempered cat.
However, another report, this time by The Huffington Post, featured Bundensen setting the record straight about Grumpy Cat's $100 million fortune, saying that the sum was inaccurate.
Though she didn't say what was Grumpy Cat's real net worth, she did state to the news outlet that she's deciding in what medium to state the real sum she's made since her cat reached superstardom.
One thing is certain, though: Bundensen was definitely able to quit her job as a waitress!
