The cat’s meow as Grumpy Cat earns €83m in two years

Even this news would have failed to raise a smile.

After earning an estimated $100m (€83m) since coming to prominence on the internet forum Reddit two years ago, the cat is now richer than some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Matthew McConaughey, Cameron Diaz, and Nicolas Cage.

Grumpy Cat’s newly-rich owner, Tabatha Bundeson, called the feline (whose real name is Tardar Sauce) “unstoppable... what she’s achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and absolutely mind-blowing”.
