6.Ever since Grumpy Cat first appeared online,the Internet can't get enough of her.But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting.Her fortune is estimated at 100million,more than many famous actors and musicians earn.
So how did it all start?
Grumpy Cat's owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funny-looking cat and post it on Reddit,the social-news site.In a matter of hours,she became a sensation(轟動).
It got 1million views on Imgur in 48hours.
Grumpy Cat's real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism,which makes her constantly frowning.But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars.
Tabatha,who lives in Arizona in US,isn't complaining.She still remembers that September 22,2012,when her life turned upside down.
Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon,she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cat's modeling career.Sounds unbelievable,but it's true.She says that her only job now is to book Tardar's photo shoots,commercials(商業(yè)廣告),and other appearances.
