The exact details of Grumpy Cat’s financials are a difficult thing to nail down. One British tabloid stated in 2014 that the feline had a net worth just shy of $100 million, though her owner, Tabatha Bundesen, stated that this was false. The closest peek we might get into the Scrooge McDuck diving pool of money that was Tardar Sauce comes thanks to a lawsuit from 2018, when the Bundesens sued Grenade Coffee for utilizing their pet’s likeness on more than the single product agreed upon beforehand, the Grumpachino. According to the BBC, that sliver of the celebrity feline’s value netted her owners $710,000. She also appeared on talk shows, American Idol, and Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark, which we are told was the name of an actual program and not just the result of someone trying to read the dictionary during a seizure. It has also been stated that within mere days of going viral, according to Newsweek, she had snagged enough buckets of dough for her owner to quit her job at Red Lobster and pursue full-time-funny-looking-cat-ownership as a profession.

On May 14th, 2019, a day which will live in infamy, Grumpy Cat passed away due to complications stemming from a urinary tract infection, according to CNN. Whatever her net worth, she will remain, to those with both a childlike sense of wonder or a deeply-embedded disappointment in their afternoon, priceless.
