from the ZM Podcast Network. This is... Fleshborn and Hayley's Big Pod. Thanks to Animates. Making happy happen for pets. Top six, Vaughan. Top six. Top six is coming up. The top six things Marilyn Monroe would have loved about 2026. She would be 100 this year too. Like David Attenborough. She's the same age as David Attenborough and Queen Elizabeth. What a legend. So she would have been 100 and should she have been around she would have loved it. Oh, I bet. Would she? Oh, yeah. Do you reckon she would have been like... We'll get into that.
Maybe we shut up.
Maybe we don't say anything because I've got six. Oh, okay. We'll stop there. Maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. I almost felt like bullying him and just rattling some off. We won't. We won't do that. Nah, don't do that. Next on the show. Terrible news. Oh. I really hate to start the show on a down buzz, but there is a cat that is living under the poverty line. And you won't believe it because it's a very famous father. Really? Where's my money, said the cat. A mystery to unpack next. Now, guys, I did say that we're starting the show with terrible news and it's awful. And I do apologise. You may remember very famous designer Karl Lagerfeld. He died. Yes, yeah. in 2019. Fashion world shook, but everyone was like, what's going to happen with his famous cat, the Berman cat, Choupette?
It was white, wasn't it? And he'd always post the photos with it. Yes. He was cat obsessed. It's got its own Instagram. Yes, so if you want to follow, it is ChoupetteOfficial, blue tick, verified.
What happened to Karl Lagerfeld's famous cat, Choupette?
How many followers? 278. Yeah, 278.8 thousand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Followers. Represented by at my pet agency. Really cute cat. 2011 though, that's getting on. That's a 15-year-old cat.
That is, man. Looking at those.
So cute. So Choupette is a princess, very beautiful. But you may remember when Karl Lagerfeld died, he left 1.5 million American dollars to Choupette. I do remember that. It was a huge story. A huge sum to make sure that Choupette was able to continue on living a lavish life. A lot of people do this, don't they? Leave some money in the well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was left to her carer, Francois Cocotte. Okay. And Francois used to be Karl Lagerfeld's housekeeper. So he had a personal relationship with Choupette, the cat. She has received not a cent. Choupette's living... He's been dead... Choupette is living... Yeah, been dead for seven years. Seven years. Choupette has not seen a dollar... of the $1.5 million fortune she's entitled to.
Wasn't he worth, like, hundreds of millions? What was his name? So, wait, who's got it then? Francois, the carer has, her carer. Yeah, but what's the cat going to do with money? The cat needs the carer. And $1.5 million and the lifestyle that they had become accustomed to, they would have blown through that in six years, seven years. So, apparently, Karl Lagerfeld's estate has been embroiled in a lengthy dispute with French tax authorities. Oh, yeah, okay. And she said to hire lawyers, the carer, to pursue the inheritance. She said it's very expensive, everything. And so actually the cat's just living basic, like Raleigh, who was like in a plastic bag. Do you know what I mean? Just like... Living in her flat.
Yeah, just like at her flat. When its inheritance is $1.5 million. Went from a mansion to just living in someone's flat. Bright blue eyes, snowy white fur. Look at its age, though. You reckon? Man, I tell you what, no one posts more on social media than this cat. So did you know the cat, we laugh at the cat, but by 2015, so at the age of four, Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld's cat, had already made $3 million from modelling. What? A cat had? What?
That is insane.
She did collaborations with beauty brands and was in a photo book. When Karl Lagerfeld was alive, she had her own iPad to play games, got brushed four times a day, slept in Chanel clothing and ate her meals at the dining table with Karl. Now she's 14 years old just living in Paris with like just... In a flat. With a younger rescue cat, like a... Like a yuck cat. Oh my God, she's mixing with the Mingus.
