Why so grumpy, Grumpy Cat? You're worth US$100 million
She has a book. A movie. Guest appearances on shows like American Idol and The Bachelorette.
No, she's not a Kardashian. She's Grumpy Cat (real name Tardar Sauce).
The famous feline, who is the embodiment of the phrase 'sour puss', is on a roll, and she's rolling in the dough as well.
The Hollywood Reporter quotes Grumpy Cat's manager Ben Lashes as saying that she's netted an estimated US$100 million in revenue since she became an Internet sensation thanks to a picture posted by her owner's brother on website Reddit back in 2012, when she was just four months old.
This coming Tuesday, she'll release her second book, The Grumpy Guide To Life.
Later this month, she'll be jetting off to Vancouver to film a Christmas movie, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.
"This is a seven-figure cat, for sure," said Lashes while discussing the fees she commands for her appearances and projects.
Her response?
Well, gee. Lighten up a little.
