Karl Lagerfeld’s Modelling Pet Cat Earns Way More Money than You

Hi there! How are you doing? Keeping active? That's good... as long as the activity is not shovelling more (&**!#) snow. We got a dusting of snow and freezing rain overnight and woke up to some peasoup fog. I had to scrape the ice off the car windows ...again! Jeesh! The good news? It is going to be 7C this afternoon. Cornwallites will be out in their shorts and t-shirts and lined up at Tim Hortons for Ice Caps! Help yourself to a coffee and a virtual doughnut. No sense being a sour puss about winter, eh? Not much we can do about it except move...don't tempt me! Speaking of sour pusses, here is one that is not so sour...

German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is undoubtedly a rich man, but here’s a shocker – even his cat Choupette is richer than most people. The furry white feline managed to earn over three million dollars from just two days of modelling work. She is now believed to be the world’s most pampered cat – she has two maids, enjoys First Class travel around the world and even has her own Instagram account with hundreds of thousands of followers.

According to 81-year-old Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel and Fendi, Choupette did two modelling assignments last year – one for Japanese cosmetics brand Shu Uemura, and the other for a Opel Corsa car calendar. Collectively, the two jobs earned her a whopping three million euro – a figure that professional supermodels might probably get paid for a much harder year’s work.

Hey Choupette, can you lend me a couple hundred thousand till payday?

See ya, eh!
