As the longtime originative director of Chanel and Fendi , Karl Lagerfeld made his fortune in gamy fashion . After the news broke yesterday that Lagerfeld haddiedin Paris at the age of approximately 85 ( his accurate birth twelvemonth is scrap ) , some inquire who would inherit his estate . The fashion designer ’s net worth is approximate to be between $ 200 and $ 240 million , according to differentsources , but he never married or had children .
Lagerfeld did n’t live alone , though . The iconic designer share his home with Choupette , a 7 - year - oldBirman catwhose name seems to be a play onma choupette , a cutesy French term of endearment that transform to , literally , " my bread , " but is used more like " my pumpkin . " According toMarie Claire , the downy white feline will inherit a chunk of Lagerfeld ’s fortune . This is on top of the agreeableness the kat has already been afford : She reportedly has two maid , a personal chef , a escort , and an iPad . She also vex weekly manicure and has her ownWikipedia page , Twitter report , andInstagram , with more than 200,000 followers on the photo political platform .
All this pampering has n’t made her lazy , though . Choupette has somehow found time to pattern , create a makeup collection and fashion wrinkle , and “ write ” abooktitledThe secret Life of a High - Flying Fashion Cat . However , Lagerfeldforbadeher from doing cat food commercials , because she is “ too advanced ” for that , obviously .
The designer had adopted her from a friend , model Baptiste Giabiconi , in 2011 . In a 2018 interview withNuméro , Lagerfeld said he had identify Choupette , among others , as an heir to his fortune ( the others are presumably human ) .
However , even if Choupette does inherit a sizable portion of his wealthiness , she still wo n’t be theworld ’s wealthiest cat . Grumpy Cat ( a.k.a . Tardar Sauce ) is also a millionaire , even if she does n’t seem too pleased about it .
