Jan 5 2023

According to a recent report by ‘All About Cats’, pop-star Taylor Swift’s beloved cat, Olivia Benson, is worth a whopping $97 million.

The feline has ranked as the world’s third richest pet (not that a cat has anything to do with riches).

The ranking was created based off of Instagram analytics, with many of the most earning four-legged friends climbing the ranks through social media fame.

However, Olivia herself found some success outside the social media world as she earned her fortune starring alongside her 33-year-old owner in various music videos. A merchandise line has also been created, with some major cameos in big-budget ads.

Olivia’s net worth was toped by a German Shepard named Gunther VI, who is worth an estimated $500 million in first place. In second place lies Nala the cat, who is worth a reported $100 million.

Following pressure the Nationalist Party, which urged that an urgent meeting take place due to patients impacted, the government scheduled a meeting for the 16th of this month to address the issue.

The Opposition claimed however that the date of January 16th is not immediate enough as the issue is not a priority for the government.

This follows a statement by PN MPs and representatives Claudette Buttigieg, Ian Vassallo and Stephen Spiteri saying that a list of specific pharmaceuticals have been out of stock for one time.

These include insulin used by diabetics and eye pressure medicine. On Thursday, Health Minister Chris Fearne said that the shortage was mainly impacting the private sector.
