Choupette, She became a celebrity for being Karl Lagerfeld’s pet. This is a cat of the Sacred Burmese breed. These cats have a semi-long, pure white mane and blue eyes. Their fur is distinguished by dark touches (different browns) in specific areas, such as the face, ears and tail.
This kitten was not only very notable in the world of fashion, but also became a millionaire heiress. The feline originally belonged to Lagerfeld’s model and close friend, Baptiste Giabiconi.
Karl Lagerfeld loved his cat very much until her death in 2019. Choupette accumulates a fortune that he will not be able to spend even in his nine lives. It is estimated that the fortune of the “kaiser” reached 200 million euros (3 thousand 938 million Mexican pesos). Although the figure is not known, the kitten received part of the money to maintain her luxurious life, although the rest was divided among seven friends and acquaintances of the designer.
The cat is under the care of Françoise Caçote, her housekeeper, and she ordered her to give her cans of chicken and caviar every day. Before Lagerfeld’s death, Choupette, (sweetheart in Spanish), was the protagonist of numerous advertising campaigns and still has an Instagram account with 187,000 followers that her caretaker updates to show the eccentric life of the cat.
Choupette was born on August 15, 2011, so the Lagerfeld heiress is close to turning 12
