Notably, Benson is topped by another cat, known as Nala Cat with an estimated net worth of $100 million. Nala has its own Instagram account and has a verified account with over 4.4 million followers.

The first place in world’s wealthiest pets is taken by a german shepherd dog named Gunther VI. The dog, which holds the title of world’s richest pet in the world with net worth of $500 million, is owned by the Italian media company Gunther Corporation.
