Fuck this life...
http://www.businessinsider.com/grum...er-nearly-100-million-in-just-2-years-2014-12

In just two years the cat — whose real name is Tardar Sauce — has made $99.5 million from an array of products, including best-selling books and a film.

Not surprisingly, Bundesen believes her pet is "unstoppable."

She told the Express: "What she's achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and absolutely mind-blowing.

"I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her first appearance on social media, and the phone simply hasn't stopped ringing since."

[Mully]

Grumpy Cat is like Aubrey Plaza or something like that right?

 

[Raistlin]

I look forward to someone Jokering their cat in order to make ...


... Happy Cat.

 

[Kid Ska]

Damn that's one hell of a stupid cat name

 

[Gurthang]

Who gets the money? Her owners?

Weekend at Grumpy Cat's

 

[HGStormy]

Congrats. It's a cute kitty.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Fuck…..

I have 4 cats, and one of them is pretty damn grumpy. I just need to think of the perfect way to monetise their antics and soon I could be a millionaire!

Damn that's one hell of a stupid cat name

That’s because its real name is Tard and ‘Tarder sauce’ is most likely just the name they publicly use so people don’t get offended at them calling him (Re)Tard.

Yet she still couldn't get Raw a ratings bump.

Wow, and this is my first time seeing it? How the hell have I avoided this?

[enigmatic_alex44]

Mhmmm. Grumpy Cat gettin' that coin. WHEN will your fave???

*side-note* my friend "met" her in Vegas and was not allowed to touch her. She got one pic for $15 and...... it's clear from the pic that the meet and greet was a fraud. Grumpy was "asleep" but it's clear from the pic it was a puppet. LMAOOOO

 

[ArtistDude88]

I was just wondering to myself the other day how much money that cat has gotten her owner after flipping channels and saw a Grumpy Cat movie playing...

$99.5 mill... that's just insane.

 

[Razorskin]

I wonder how much Vince shelled out to get her on RAW.

 

[entremet]

Who gets the money? Her owners?

Of course!

It's a damn cat.

 

[Borgnine]

I thought Grumpacino was kind of a cute idea.

Grumpy mom.

 

[Grizzo]

Whoa... just... whoa. So people really bought Grumpy Cat merchandising? Well whatever floats their boat I guess.

hahaha that's funny, I'd love to see the pic of that puppet (with your friend cut out of the picture of course)

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Grumpy mom.

Then when the grief is over

Wealthy Mom

 

[Fox318]

Most expensive talent he has ever hired.

Also the cat is pretty much worth more then his company today.

 

[Imbarkus]

Grumpy Cat is like Aubrey Plaza or something like that right?

yup

We DVR'd the movie I haven't seen it yet but Gary Whitta said on Twitta it delivers.

Savings and wise investment, fellow cat owner. God speed.

 

[Blader]

Grumpy’s big-screen debut is coming soon. The film "Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever" has been billed as a cross between "Home Alone" and "Die Hard."

lol, what?

 

[javac]

I wonder how much money dogecoin that doge guy made.

 

[Borgnine]

Tardar Sauce

Wasn't it originally just Tard? I think they changed it so they could make money and not offend people. Cause tards love that cat.

 

[HK-47]

lol, what?

lol fucking Die Hard? Really?

 

[NaturalHigh]

I liked the movie. I have no idea why.

 

[Rabid-Coot]

Grumpy Cat the animated series.

More proof cats are superior to dogs.

Yep, it's real name is "Tard" they changed it once the cat got popular for obvious reasons.

Grumpy Cat is a real cat. Aubrey Plaza just plays the voice in the shitty movie.

 

[snacknuts]

I can believe there has been $100MM in revenue generated by this cat in two years, but I refuse to accept that the cat/its owners have actually seen that much money.

 

[shem935]

I can believe there has been $100MM in revenue generated by this cat in two years, but I refuse to accept that the cat/its owners have actually seen that much money.

Even if they only received 2 percent that is still pretty crazy return on a cat that cost at most a couple hundred bucks.

 

[Grizzo]

Well I still think she's rich as hell even if she hasn't seen all of those $100 million.

In any case she's very well paid for what the whole Grumpy Cat is. It's not like it's a hard job, she just has to make sure her cat stays alive and never smiles.

 

[Borgnine]

You guys think he's going to develop a nip problem?

 

[SummitAve]

I couldn't believe the amount of grumpy cat merchandise at a casino gift shop I recently visited. Who is buying this shit?

 

[Toa TAK]

Okay I get it. I'LL SEE THE MOVIE.

 

[ntropy]

how did happy dog make?

 

[terrisus]

Sounds like you/your friend are part of the problem.
I guess who know who's "Laughing [Their] Ass Off Off Off Off" at whom.

This. Bussines Insider is making sound the revenue is the actual profit of the products and even the owners don't get all the profit. But I am pretty sure they made more money than most us will ever make :/
