When the late business tycoon cum philanthropist Ratan Tata (86) left a huge sum of money for the “unlimited care” of his pet dog Tito in his Will, it became a subject of household conversations and international headlines. Leaving assets for pet care in the Will is a common practice in the US and some European countries. But the trend is picking up in India too.
Actor-businesswoman Kylie Jenner has left a staggering £14 million of her £900 million fortune to her seven pets. TV personality Simon Cowell has bequeathed £20 million of his BIG fortune to his dogs, not his sons! Rumours are rife that fashion giant Karl Lagerfeld left a whopping £150 million fortune to his beloved cat, Choupette. An Indian businessman’s son, an animal lover, too, has huge sums of money kept aside for the welfare of his furry friends.
