We live in a world where pets can earn more money than humans thanks to their popularity on social networks. You won’t even imagine how much wealth these 4-legged friends possess.

The richest dog family on the planet, owning assets of 12,000 billion

In 1992, wealthy German Countess Karlotta Liebenstein died without an heir. Her only son (also named Gunther) died when he was only 26 years old. Because she loves her pet dog, this countess left her entire fortune of 400 million USD (equivalent to more than 9,000 billion VND at the current exchange rate) to the dog Gunther III.

Since then, this animal has been associated with the name “the richest dog in the world”. Gunther III even gave birth to children to create the richest and most luxurious “dog family” on the planet.

Gunther III created the richest “dog clan” on the planet

In 2000, it was widely reported that Gunther purchased Madonna’s mansion in Miami for $7.5 million. Then, by the end of the decade, the dog was rumored to have bought a Tuscan villa, a nightclub and a football team in Pisa.

Currently, Gunther has reached its sixth generation and this fortune continues to grow, reaching the milestone of 500 million USD (more than 12,000 billion VND).

The dog Gunther VI lived a rare royal life: he had a butler, a maid, and dined on beef and caviar. Daily activities include: being taken around by a private driver, enjoying spa treatments, and having fun in a custom-designed private swimming pool.

In particular, boss Gunther VI also has a company established to help invest and manage his assets – Gunther Corporation, headquartered in Italy.
