Pets Adoptions Top Ten Richest Pets

The number of pets with million dollar trusts and bequests continues to grow. Many of these pets have more money than any one human can spend in a lifetime. From roaming enormous estates and traveling by limousine to twelve member staffs, these pets are living the glamorous life.












Number One is Gunther IV, an alsation worth around £224 million! In 1993, this dog made headlines after he and his sire Gunther III were bequest $124 million when their owner, Countess Karlotta Liebenstein died. It has been recently reported that Gunther's massive estate has grown to over $372 million.
The trend in recent years is to make a pet an heir or sole heir to an entire estate worth millions of dollars. This has resulted in numerous pets being left with more money than twenty people could spend in a lifetime, let alone a dog. Proponents argue that the pets have earned their stake in the estate through years of devotion and loyalty to their rich masters. Additionally, it's the owners wishes that runs paramount.
