Following the passing of designer Karl Lagerfeld in 2019, reports circulated in various international media outlets suggesting that his cat, Choupette, could potentially inherit a substantial portion of his estate, valued in the millions. Previously, Lagerfeld had publicly indicated that the feline companion would possess a financial stake. He had stated, in remarks quoted by CBS News, that the cat “has her own little fortune, she is a heirs: if something happens to me, the person who will take care of her will not be left without anything.”
However, the situation regarding the cat’s inheritance remains unresolved, according to Françoise Caçote, the former housekeeper who cared for Choupette during Lagerfeld’s lifetime and continues to provide care since his death.
Caçote addressed the matter, stating that the issue of the inheritance has not yet been settled. When speaking about the cat, she confirmed, “I want to be completely open – today we have not received anything completely.”
The discussion surrounding the cat’s future wealth highlights the lingering questions about the distribution of Lagerfeld’s assets. While initial speculation suggested a significant financial legacy for the animal, Caçote’s comments indicate that the legal and practical arrangements concerning the cat’s inheritance have not been finalized, leaving the full details uncertain.
