Everyone has heard of Grumpy Cat. Her trademark scowl and bad attitude has risen her up to the rank of Queen among internet cat memes, but recently her owner has revealed exactly how much she has earned from them. The amount will make you grumpy towards your lazy cat that eats all your food and makes you no money.

In a recent interview owner with Grumpy Cat owner Tabatha Bundesen from Morristown, Arizona, she has admitted that her cat has made more than $99 million dollars from various revenue streams since her first appearance on the internet. To put that into perspective, this cat has earned more than Hollywood stars like Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz and Matthew McConaughey. Not only has the cat appeared in a countless series of internet memes, but it has a best-selling series of books and movie.

Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, was born with dwarfism and an underbite which gave her that trademark disgruntled expression. She first appeared on a YouTube video in 2012 which has received 15.7 million hits to date.
