Grumpy cat made $100 million last year? Oh, no
It's got a deformity. That's why it's grumpy. Humanity can't get enough of staring at it. But did this cat really make $100 million? It seems not.
It's Monday. The day when you might be feeling grumpy about your lover, your kids, your boss or the fact that your trousers and your stomach have become incompatible.
Please let me tell you then, that there is only one thing wrong with your life: you just weren't clever enough to adopt a miserable-looking cat.
You see, there's something about miserable-looking cats that makes people feel uncontrolled emotions. So much so that the most famous Grumpy Cat of all was alleged this morning to have earned in the region of $100 million. Of course that's not true, but stay with me for a while. Its owner isn't poor.
The Express reported the figure. Grumpy's owner, 28-year-old Tabatha Bundesen of Morristown, Ariz., was quoted as saying she's overjoyed about Grumpy's success.
The Express also quoted her as saying: "I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her first appearance on social media and the phone simply hasn't stopped ringing since." She described Grumpy ascent to stardom as "unstoppable." And Grumpy's still less than 3 years old. So the future is unlikely to be catastrophic.
It's unclear, though, which part of Grumpy's vast performance portfolio -- the pictures, the personal appearances, the sponsorships and, well, the pictures -- has earned her the most money.
