Following the death of Iconic Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld who died at the age of 85 as reported on hotjist.com on Tuesday, it has emerged that the legend left some of his $200m (£153m) fortune to his cat.

The German designer who was the creative director for Chanel and Fendi became a devoted cat owner after the Choupette was given to him in 2012.

In an interview last year, largerfeld told French newspaper Numero that he had named the ‘Birman’ cat as one of the heirs of his estate.

But after his death on Tuesday, it was claimed that his cat will inherit some of his $200m (£153m) fortune after he named her ‘in his will’

He also said Choupette was in his will, “among others”. But he added: “Don’t worry, there is enough for everyone.”

Choupette is said to already have substantial fortune to her name, having earned $3m (£2.3m) doing adverts for a German car firm and a Japanese cosmetics brand with Lagerfeld.

In a separate interview with Numero, Lagerfeld revealed he employed two maids to look after the pampered animal who, he said, has “four different dishes prepared for her” each day “served in fabulous bowls”.
