Report claims Taylor Swift's cat has a higher net worth than Travis Kelce, Internet says 'she couldn't care less'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift's boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce might find himself vying for the spotlight not with other sports stars, but with Swift's cats.

A recent report has revealed a surprising fact - the 'Reputation' hitmaker's cat, named Olivia Benson, holds a higher net worth than Kelce himself.

The revelation has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many amused by the fact that Swift seems unfazed by it all.

What is Taylor Swift's cat's net worth?

Even though Kelce is a two-time Super Bowl champion, his wealth is said to be no match for that of Swift's cats, per Daily Mail. 

Swift's cat, Olivia Benson, whom she adopted in 2014, holds the third position on the Ultimate Pet Rich list, styled after Forbes, as per AllAboutCats.com.

The website, which estimates the net worth of pets based on a hypothetical ability to generate income through Instagram accounts, has reportedly valued Olivia at $97 million.

This valuation places the cat, named after Mariska Hargitay's character in 'Law & Order: SVU', above Swift's boyfriend in terms of net worth.

Olivia has reportedly amassed her wealth by starring with her owner in numerous music videos, launching her own merchandise line, and making appearances in high-budget advertisements for brands like Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers, according to the website.

The 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker is also the owner of another Scottish Fold, Meredith Grey, whom she adopted in 2011, and a four-year-old ragdoll named Benjamin Button.

While the website did not provide the net worth of Swift's other two cats, they are certainly not unfamiliar with social media attention and the spotlight.

Benjamin's popularity has presumably surged since last month, when he graced the cover of Time Magazine alongside Swift, who was named Person of the Year.

Travis Kelce's net worth

Kelce, on the other hand, is estimated to have a net worth of $40 million in 2024.

While this is an impressive sum, it still falls $57 million short of Olivia's worth.

Kelce's fame skyrocketed in 2023, coinciding with his relationship with the pop star, 34. The high-profile couple has reportedly been together since the summer.

Kelce had already gained a significant level of fame, both on the football field and beyond, thanks to the careful management of Andre and Aaron Eanes.

In 2023, Kelce secured advertising contracts with Pfizer and Experian, and even hosted 'Saturday Night Live'.

In October, Kelce sought to trademark five phrases, including his own name.

Alongside his name, the NFL star is reportedly aiming to trademark his Instagram handle 'Killlatrav', his signature catchphrase 'Alright Nah', 'Flight 87' and 'Kelce's Krunch'.

The applications suggest that Kelce intends to use these trademarks for a range of products, including pins, posters, bobbleheads, apparel, and even a cereal, per Daily Mail. 

The Eanes brothers, who operate A&A Management and signed Kelce as their second client, had initially aimed to elevate Kelce's fame to the level of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, per the outlet. 

Internet reacts as Swift's cat outranks Travis Kelce in net worth

The surprising news has ignited a wave of responses on the internet, with Swift’s apparent indifference amusing many.

Users took to the Facebook comment section with one writing, "She couldn’t care less." 

One user joked, "Her cat is probably more intelligent so, LOL."

"I wish I had even a tiny fraction of Taylor Swift’s cat’s wealth," noted another. 

A user remarked, "Taylor is about Taylor- very similar, to Kylie Minogue= totally consumed by Me, me, me syndrome."

"Well he better learn it fast. Cats are always Nr. 1. Everything and everybody else come to place Nr. 2. only," stated another.
