Inheritances and wealth are mostly associated with people. Not many times do animals (pets) make headlines for being rich.

According to Wikipedia, however, there are some animals that have come into riches as their owners bequeath some or all of their money on them in their wills.

It should be noted that animals cannot inherit things in the very sense of the word, they “own” the money through a pet trust that uses the same to take care of them.

Below is, therefore, a list of 7 of the wealthiest animals in the world through inheritance:

1. Gunther IV ($200m)

This particular dog got the money from Countess Karlotta Lelbenstein who is from a very powerful dynasty in Germany.

Tomasso, a black cat from Italy, was a lost pet until it strayed into the home of Maria Assunta, a big property owner. When she died at 94, she willed the sum to the pet through the animal welfare charity to take care of it.

3. Blackie ($12.5m)

This particular cat was said to be richest by Guinness Worlds Records standard until the year 2018 when another took over.
