Grumpy Cat is Worth $100 Million?

Really? Grumpy Cat is worth $100 million dollars? We have a cat named "Mokie", but I call her "Jingles Edward Cat". And yes, it's 'she'. Jingles has a slight dark spot on her nose that slightly resembles Adolph Hitler, but that won't make me any money like Grumpy Cat.

Ben Lashes, Grumpy the cat's manager, estimates that the cat has generated about $100 million in revenue. He won't disclose percentages or how much the cat nets but admits, "This is a seven-figure cat, for sure."

Two-year-old Grumpy -- real name Tardar Sauce, a misspelling of the mayonnaise-based condiment -- earns enough money that owner Tabatha Bundesen was able to quit her job as a Red Lobster waitress near her home in Morristown, Ariz., where the famous feline also lives. Her brother, Bryan Bundesen, a former Time Warner cable technician who posted the first photo of Grumpy on Reddit in September 2012. He says the cat's celebrity has changed their lives: "It's been great for our family."

It was Bryan's original photo, taken when Grumpy was 4 months old, that transformed her from a cute pet to Internet meme. Suddenly her face was all over the web, annotated with curmudgeonly sayings like, "I had fun once. It was awful." (The Rooster)
