Have you ever considered how much the world’s most affluent animals really earn? Well now you can compare yourself against the pets of the net, the four-legged millionaires that are worth more than some of the most iconic designer fashion pieces.
Created by pet food brand Webbox, Pets of the Net allows you to find out how much your salary compares with that of an Instagram-famous pet with shocking (and somewhat depressing) results.
For example, in ONE YEAR Spotify-verified Doug the Pug could purchase a staggering 241 Burberry Kensington Heritage Trench Coats whereas Karl Lagerfeld’s Choupette earns per year the equivalent of 651 Chanel 2.55 Handbags…
Fancy trotting around in Manolo Blahnik’s iconic royal blue Hangisi pumps? The timeless classics made famous by Carrie Bradshaw come with a hefty price tag of £775, but Gigoo the chicken could afford to fork out for 84,677 pairs EVERY YEAR.
The piece launches in the run up to Pet Fashion Week at the end of August, where fashion-forward felines and dolled-up dogs will don their finest clothes ready to strut their stuff on the catwalks.
The Insta-famous pet salaries are also considerable higher than the UK average salary of £27,600 per year. Taking the UK average, it would take Grumpy Cat just 25 hours, 54 minutes and 16 seconds to earn the average salary! Known for her permanently peeved facial expression, Grumpy Cat earns an estimated £25,570.78 in a DAY, compared to £75.62 per day based on the UK average salary.
Everyone’s favourite doggo, Doug the Pug, earns a tail-wagging £350,000 a year, which is 13 times more than the UK average salary! The most famous pug on the planet is well-known for his dress sense; dressing up as Harry Potter, Frozen’s Elsa, and even a taco! As well his big wardrobe, he has an even bigger dog house to keep his money in, with daily earnings totalling just under £1,000!
