Nine Animals That Have More Money Than You

Finally, a list of animals who have (or had) more disposable income than your average person. I bet even the animal lovers out there will question whether these critters should have this much cash.

9. Bart

This brown bear made numerous movie appearances (I loved him in The Edge), earning over six million dollars in his career. And why not? Check out those acting chops.

8. Trouble

Not all wealthy animals work for a living. Leona Helmsley left twelve million dollars to this pet pooch in her will.

7. Crystal

You've seen her in The Hangover and Night at the Museum, but did you know she was paid twelve thousand per episode for her short live show Animal Practice? That's a lot of bananas.

6. Gigoo

Miles Blackwell left his unusual pet ten million dollars. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get paid, suckers!

5. Keiko

This killer whale made a killing at the box office, taking in thirty six million for performing in just three films. So much for "Free" Willy...that's one expensive orca.

4. Gunther IV

The richest pet in the world, this lucky dog is worth an estimated three hundred and seventy three million dollars. He's spent his inheritance (which he got from his dad, Gunther III - which was passed on from his German millionaire owner) on two mansions and the finest food. He also has a maid, butler and chauffeur.

3. Twiggy

I'll be honest, I don't actually know how much money this waterskiing squirrel makes. But with multiple TV and commercial appearances, it pretty much has to be more than us.

2. Moose

This Jack Russell made ten thousand an episode on Frasier. That's over three and a half million dollars for the show's run. Suddenly working like a dog doesn't sound so bad.

1. Pauly Shore

What? People are animals. After inheriting easy access to the world of comedy, this human performed in multiple movies and is currently worth an estimated fifteen million. Really makes you think.
