Former stray alley cat “Tommaso” inherits $13.3 million from lonely Italian widow
Tommaso is a former stray alley cat who now has swagger AND cash. He became the richest cat in the world when his owner Maria Assunta left him $13.3 million when she died. Assunta was the widow of a wealthy Italian property magnate. Under Italian law Assunta couldn’t leave the money directly to the cat (cat’s aren’t very good at writing checks and using credit cards anyway,) so she left it to her nurse Stefania, as the cat’s trustee.
