"God of Lafayette" Karl Lagerfeld: Leave 2.1 billion inheritance to pet cats before death, how can cats spend it
Black sunglasses, long white braids, and black leather gloves. This is the image of "Godlas Lafayette" Carl Lagerfeld in people's minds. He existed alone all his life and lived a remarkable life. Especially after his death, all his net worth of about 310 million euros (about 2.1 billion yuan) was given to a cat named Choupette.
This matter must be more exciting than those emotional history of Karl Lagerfeld, after all, it is such an incredible thing in the eyes of a normal person.
Speaking of Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette, one person must be mentioned,
, that is the super male model Baptiste Jabiconi who has had many years of "friendship" with him.
It is said that Jabiconi was Carl Lagerfeld's favorite model back then, and the two were also rumored to be getting married.
And Choupette is exactly Jabiconi's beloved cat. At that time, he was busy with work and had to take time back to his hometown for vacation every year, so he handed Choupette to Carl to take care of him.
No one expected that the kitten would actually arouse the tenderness in Carl's bones. Even if its owner "breaks up" with Carl, the cat was not returned.
Carl once said: "I refuse to return her. She is so cute."
is indeed cute. Choupette's snow-white hair is like Carl's long braids, which is definitely similar to that, and people can't help but want to rub it when they see it.
Of course, because of the change of owner, Choupette's identity has also changed.
It has become a cat with a higher income than ordinary people. It has worked with major fashion brands. The highest record is that its annual income exceeds 3 million euros. There is no way. Choupette's owner is too rich. It is its powerful springboard. It usually produces peripherals, shoots advertisements, and cooperates with big brands. The money comes like this.
Moreover, in 2014, Carl also published a book for it: "Chupette: The PrivateLifeofa High-Flying Fashion Cat".
Chupette is so natural when she is on the photo. She is not afraid of any photo shoot or cooperation. She can do it beautifully by herself on the cover magazine.
For this reason, some supermodels have to hold it and take advantage of it.
In a word, after Choupette came to Carl, he quickly became a famous cat that had become a prosperous person.
Moreover, Carl's love for it is increasing day by day, making him want to marry a cat as his wife:
"I didn't expect that I would fall in love with a cat. Now there is no marriage between animals and humans that can be allowed to exist."
For this reason, Carl Graffie had to let his cat live a "nameless" life.
But the funeral behind him and the cat was planned early. In an interview with the media, he said this:
"I don't want a grand funeral. After cremation, I hope to bury part of the ashes with my mother, while the other part is buried with Choupette." The premise of this idea is that Choupette will die earlier than Carl. Now it seems that the wish of "Laofu" has failed again.
Because he has passed away for three years, Choupette is still living happily and happily. How does
Chupette inherit the inheritance and how does it live? It's poverty that limits your imagination. In fact, Choupette is still living very well without Carl's care.
First of all, we must make it clear that the operation of Carl's desire to leave the estate directly to Choupette is not allowed by law, at least in France.
So, he finally turned around and gave the inheritance to the butler who cared for the cat.
Chupette's housekeeper is Fran?oiseCa?ote, a cat lover that Carl can trust. He has been taking care of Choupette for more than ten years.
In addition to taking care of it, he also works as a part-time photographer, and his playful and cute photos are all from him. It makes sense for Carl to trust Fran?oiseCa?ote, according to the rumor, he seems to have almost become obsessed with cats.
Sometimes in order to record every move of Choupette, you can watch it continuously for hours. This is much more experienced than ordinary cat petters.
Carl left the legacy to Fran?oiseCa?ote, making it clear that
when Choupette needed it, he could use it at will until Choupette died.
This means that Fran?oiseCa?ote is the direct person in charge of Carl's legacy.
However, Fran?oiseCa?ote gives Choupette the best life.
According to Carl's standards when he was alive, Choupette was always caring for two close maids. At the same time, he also had his own special bodyguard, as well as a full-time chef and a private medical consultant. I think there is a better life situation than too many people, right? Just a pet, it has received such thoughtful and meticulous care. It has to be said that it is much happier than people.
But this is not the only happiness point of Choupette. It has 200,000 fans and has a strict and distinctive daily life:
Get up at six o'clock every day, and then brush and dress up in a series of hair combs, massages, and washes your eyes..
Chupette's meal plate is specially prepared by GCa, and is a silver four-piece set specially customized by Goyard. Its nest is LV or Chanel's bag, although it lies on Carl's big bed most of the time.
At the same time, Choupette also has Hermes dog plate, BV collar, and dedicated IPAD.
It is said that if Choupette eats a little indigestion while attending an event outside, you can have a specially prepared cocktail.
And when it goes out, it must be in first class and there is a dedicated person to hold it.
Now, Carl has long passed away, but in order to prevent Choupette from changing the quality of life, his apartment on St. Germain in Paris, France is still preserved.
Because this is Choupette's favorite place, it contains all kinds of memories of living with Carl.
Now, Choupette lives in this villa every day, and the small carpets and pillows used by Carl in the past remain the same.
Chupette will sleep on it when she is free, enjoying the little things she has with her old master.
Some people say that Carl is a lonely person, and he himself says:
"I like to be alone most of the time."
But in fact, he has a lot of love scandals, and judging from his care for Choupette, he is completely busy and can't stop.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether Carl is lonely or not. We only lament that Choupette encounters his "cat life" transformation.
Through its story, we can be completely sure:
Whether it is born as a human or a cat, it doesn't matter, what matters is what quality of life you can obtain.
Chupette has Carl's company throughout her life and has a worry-free life for the rest of her life, which is worth it.
