Top Ten Richest Pet In The World: #1 £90 Million Gunther The German Shepherd

If you haven't noticed, all the rich women tends to leave their fortune for their pet instead of their kids or grandchildren. I can be sure that it is better off to be a pet than human now. *Just Kidding*

In July 2000, the singer Madonna sold her eight bedroom Miami villa for £5million to agents acting on behalf of a German Shepherd dog called Gunther IV.

Apparently, Gunther IV had inherited his fortune from his father, Gunther III, who had in turn been the sole heir of the estate of his owner, a German Countess by the name of Karlotta Liebenstein who left £43m to her dog when she died in 1992.

Gunther IV soon made headlines again, when he paid £1,000 to buy a rare white truffle in a fiercely contested auction in Turin a year later, this time appearing in person (if that is the right phrase), along with two of his domestic staff.

His property portfolio is also said to include estates in the Bahamas, Italy and Germany.
