Oprah, Queen Elizabeth, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen all give their dogs better lives than people – have these celebrity pet lovers gone too far?
Trust funds, tuxedos, designer handbags, US$300,000 doggy mansions and, er, iPhones – these celebrity-owned pets are living lives brighter than most people on the planet
Many people regard dogs as man’s best friend. For some lucky pooches, the beloved pets of super-rich celebrities and even royalty, this means living extravagant lives. We’re not only talking about expensive dog food and a daily trip to the spa here – some of these fur babies have trust funds worth millions and even a mansion of their own.
Home swanky home
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and hotel heiress Paris Hilton own some of the luckiest dogs in the world. The British monarch’s surviving corgis Candy and Vulcan live with her in Buckingham Palace and have their own special quarters. Meanwhile, the socialite’s micro chihuahua Diamond Baby and her four other fur siblings are living the high life in a whopping US$325,000 doggy mansion that has two stories and a second-floor balcony.
Trust fund babies
In her own words, nothing makes Oprah happier than being with her dogs. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the billionaire media magnate set up a jaw-dropping US$30 million trust fund for her springer spaniels Sunny and Lauren and cocker spaniel Sadie in case they outlive their momma. This is what they get for showing Lady O “what God’s love feels like”.
