Grumpy Cat This 29-Year-Old Was A Waitress — Then She Got A Cat With Dwarfism, Quit Her Job, And Became A Multi-Millionaire

It's probably not that she has personally collected $100 million. That figure is more likely the total of the merchandise, endorsements, etc all rolled into a projected "value". I don't watch TV, so I don't know if Grumpy Cat is in any commercials or anything like that. I'm just taking an educated guess here.

They've announced a movie, I heard somewhere.

$100 million? That's surely not right.
I've heard that number a few places. The claim I've heard is that she has "earned" $100m over the past two years.

My guess is that she is like any random lotto winner and will be living on the street in under five years. A 29 year old waitress going from minimum wage to $50m per year overnight is very, very unlikely to not fall apart under the change.

just wow.. for her sake I hope she's hired a financial planner, lawyer, etc to help her correctly manage than.

Financial planners are often the ones that cause your money to go away. Very hard to hire a good one.

Seen that happen more than once. Unfortunately the legal fees make it hard for the average person to seek restitution.

I've purchased a few pieces of that merchandise for Christmas gifts for s relative that has a cat problem. So she can thank me for a tiny bit of that fortune.

The thing they did right was to hire a professional marketer to help them with merchandising and appearances. That's why grumpy cat has millions of dollars and Scumbag Steve doesn't.
