Meanwhile, In Insanely-Rich-Person World
From little black dresses to big white pussies; Fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld claims his chic cat, named Choupette made $3.22 million last year from just two modeling gigs. Unbelievable, perhaps; but as the insanely wealthy Lagerfeld explains, "she is the center of the world. If you saw her, you would understand."
In an interview with New York magazine, Lagerfeld disclosed that his chic cat, named Choupette, isn’t just pretty — she’s apparently worth millions. In fact, Lagerfeld claims that she made $3.22 million last year from just two modeling gigs.
To famous feline insiders — we know you’re out there — who scoff at the figure when compared to Grumpy Cat’s reported $100 million in commercial deals, consider this: Between the media tours and the movies and the endorsements, Grumpy Cat is scheduled within an inch of her nine lives.
Choupette, on the other hand, would never demean herself to peddle Friskies. She can bring in millions by barely raising a paw.
“She did two jobs and made 3 million euros last year,” Lagerfeld said. “One was for cars in Germany and the other was for a Japanese beauty product. I don’t allow her to do foodstuffs and things like this. She’s too sophisticated for that.”

In Lagerfeld’s rarefied world, Choupette is a queen and treated accordingly.
“She hates other animals and she hates children,” Lagerfeld said. “She stays always with me and she has two personal maids. They play with her, they have to take care of her beautiful white hair, the beauty treatments for her eyes, and they entertain her. She is the center of the world. If you saw her, you would understand.”

How much would it cost for one nite with the cat? She is pussy, ya know.
Oh hark? I hear another thread calling....the one on what the frig drug are you on?
Cat: America's other red meat.
If only the other billionaire's he hangs out with decides vogue is a wolf hound and while they are distracted said wolf hound mistakes kitty for a chew toy..
Take heart. No matter what he thinks about his cat, the cat thinking the same thing of him that we all are right now: "Fuck you, asshole. You only THINK you're in charge."
He clearly comes from a long line of Munsters.
I look forward to the day when the only thing that will matter to Lagerfeld will be how fast he can run.
Here's what they think of the little people. Why take the case of Conrad Hilton who decided to tell the people on his airplane what he thought of them:
Hilton yelled several times, saying "I will f------ own anyone on this flight; they are f------ peasants.
Oh look, he got away with it, just like he said:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/04/entertainment/conrad-hilton-flight-attenda...
We are ruled, no question about it.
The original Conrad Hilton must be just dust from all the turning over in his grave that has been going on. Maybe he's buried in Oklahoma and that is why they are having so many earthquakes. Fracking ridiculous.
"She hates other animals and she hates children."
Well, she obviously doesn't hate demented semites.
Pairadimes I look forward to the day when the only thing that will matter to Lagerfeld will be how fast he can run.

Unfortunately, in times like that, it is usually the serfs that are running. Wealthy people just take a private jet elsewhere and have lots of money in offshore protected accounts.
I'll put you in the "still don't get it" side. Sorry.
I just belched some nasty bile reading this.
I look forward to watching people of his circles squirm in Hell while promised a false Eternal Easter
OK, now where was I? .... Oh yeah, the 7th Seal ....
How come there's not any mouse flavored cat food?
Dogs think you are god. Cats think they are god.
Dogs have masters, cats have staff.
A Dog comes when you call, A cat on the other hand takes a message and promises to get back to you.
What's with all the downvotes? Is cat actually a white meat, making it America's other, other white meat?
I think Marie Antoinette said it best:

I can tell you for real, it honestly tastes like chicken.
No it doesn't. It tastes more like the California Condor.
Okay, just kidding. It really tastes like Northern Spotted Own. Similar diet and all that.
Haha, you got me. I'd never eat a cat.
Now stop encouraging the kiddies to go eat their neighbors' cats.
I ate a jaguar notlong ago, great red meat. My Chinese bud says house cat is also excellent.
So you have all eaten pussy?
But would you eat, Karl's pussy?
I am fairly certain I am the only person on ZH who has actually eaten cat. It was a Bob cat but still a feline. Long story, could not keep it down long enough totell you how it tasted...but I did eat cat (not just pussy...C A T!!)
Maybe the cat ate some chicken?
That's funny because the last chicken I ate I thought tasted like cat!
So far nine patriots have downvoted you for possible America is poor jibe.
Do you serve red wine or a dry white wine with that?
How's San Diego Chauncey?
White rum, at least a half bottle before dining.
So the maids are for when he goes to work?
Oh, right never mind
Smart man. He gets a couple of mates to pay millions of euros for a photo with the cat (they owe him a favour anyway). Now all expenses associated with the cat are tax deductible, including the two live-in prostitutes, the cat's holiday house, the cat's car and chaffeur, etc. etc. And he can't possibly expect the cat to handle all those things on its own so he, quite rightly, must chapperone her.
You have much to learn serfs.
No central bank-driven capital misallocation to be found anywhere in this story. Nope. Not one bit.
What about Karel Lagerfeld himself?
Purrrfect, Foxcatcher!
"How much would it cost for one nite with the cat? She is pussy, ya know."
I logged in just to up vote you.....
This has to be a jew, no matter what jew owned wikipedia says.
He's on Wikipedia. Well-born fashion designer, and, apparently, VERY GOOD salesman/negotiator! :0)
At first glance, I thought that was wak job Robert Durst.
I watched that last episode as it aired for the first time. Room goes dark, camera just shooting an empty chair. And then he starts talking to himself.
For me, that was one of the most fascinating things I ever saw or heard on the boob tube. I'm " holy fuck!" ( no kids in the house). Kudos.
It's a she, and it's a fucking cat.
Anthropomorphism and narcissism collide!
I thought we had reached peak insanity, then I learn about feline beauty eye treatments.
If I was one of those ex-Opal autoworkers out there and I found out they just spent millions extra just because Karls fucking cat is in the ad, I think it would be time for a serious Falling Down episode.
I am seriously disappointed by those sad ZHers who feel the need to bad-mouth the sort of financial savvy and personal style that made the world what it is today.
Government Motors had the balls to spend that much while suckling on the govt teat??
I told you all so. Short sanity, short and long term.
Be happy. For me it was anal bleaching.
Miffed;-)
(face palm, whimpering sounds)
So Miffed, you're saying he does anal bleaching to match his hair?
I do believe so. I was informed that this procedure was to make the target area appear more youthful when the middle aged must compete with the the younger set.
Perhaps I should be thankful I have not been asked to consider undergoing this and, try as I may to improve my yoga practice, I have been unable to assess the fact myself.
Frankly the whole thing was TMI for me but I have found some individuals get a free pass in workplace conversation while others are held to a different standard.
Miffed;-)
"make the target area appear more youthful"
The guy's cat made 3MM euros. With that kind of cash you could get Hillary laid.
this is the only thing I could think of to post as a response
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=53d_1418948150
You have officially assumed the position of grantor of the most fucked up post ever.
Serious congratulations. I must reconsider the immature and weak nature of my twisted humor.
I bow at the feet of the master.
Knukles, what's really F'd up, is that if we looked at that badge he's wearing, we'd likely find that he's a Govt Contractor, being paid with our tax $$...
That's why I hang around here. There are people more twisted than I am and other people more cynical than I am to critique them.
Good god.
Well, now we know why the Japanese aren't breeding.
Cute cat - as for the owner, ... may need another transfusion soon
That cat's got nothin' on Mr. Bigglesworth

Rule #1 Do NOT live with a female or heaven forbid marry one.
Rule #2 Do NOT impregnate.
Every whiskey brown bag living in the ditch story out there outside of substance addiction will trace to a violation of one or more of these rules
Think outside the box. Rules exist to be bend before they are broken.
You neglect the exestince of the stories of old men who are quite happy with how they spent their lives and who they spent them with/for.
So, perhaps the rule is to be reasonable and open minded enough to find a good life partner.

In my experience, there are a few people who can handle - even effectively leverage - great wealth, but the majority who acquire it become odd, blinkered fetishists, obsessed with trivialities. This dude, who looks like Lauren Bacall's corpse, is a classic case.
"...but the majority who acquire it become odd, blinkered fetishists, obsessed with trivialities."
Money had nothing to do with it. Karl was always like that.
Yes, but only the poor are called insane. The rich are 'eccentric'.
My old man always used to say he was a few million short of eccentric!
I didn't get it, then it was funny, then as I got older I realized I was a few million short too (and that doesn't adjust for inflation).

I just had to down vote you in respect of
Humphrey DeForest Bogart,
Thank You / sark~off
I knew he looked like something, but I couldn't place it till you pointed it out.
Upvoted for the Lauren Bacall's corpse reference. Wordsmithing par excellance!
Im waiting to get my taxes done at my accountants office it just dawned on me that the cat can make more money than I can in 10 years. FML
Yes, but those two gigs were stressful.
My first thought reading that was a tax angle from some plugged in high dollar lawyer.
This guy, depending on the tax code and how his tax liabilities are impacted by his cat pulling down that kind of dough, might be more greedy than crazy.
Any pet actor tax lawyer accountant types troll ZH care to field that one?
Regards,
Cooter
P.S. When I wrote "pet actor tax lawyer accountant" I realized how truly fucked up and bureaucratic the system really is at this point. My. God.
BUT A FUCKING CAT PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY TAXES IN SOMEWHERE LIKE ITALY OR SOME SUCH SHIT
Aaaaaaarrararaagaggagahahahhahahhahhhh...... phlegm choking sounds
omg....
Two personal maids to entertain her? Not sure if I should envy the maids or the cat!
Fun fact: it's not even Lagerfeld's cat. A friend left it with him to sit for a couple of weeks. When the friend got back Lagerfeld refused to return it.
I smell a high priced custody battle......
3 friggin million EUROS for a couple 'modeling' gigs??? The most talented call girl isn't worth that much..... that cat must have some remarkable talents.
that cat must have some remarkable talents.
sandpaper tounge
They are probably high dollar call girls in maid outfits and he deducts them from his cats income.
3M a year can pay for a lot of hooker!

He's either goota be gay ot bi to be in that business.... betcha betcha betcha
Not that I care, people's preferences are their own business, but all them does that glam shit's kinda oddly centered
She may be sophisticated, but she's no Maru.

Let them eat CATFOOD!
FUCK CANT WAIT TO HANG THESE DEMENTED FAGGOTZ
Get my pitchfork.
Bill Clinton destroyed Hillary's run for President by making 7 entries in a private jet log while visiting a Florida island to have sex with 12 and 14 year old girls.
They all should be publicly executed.
The girls should be executed? When did Bill adopt Sharia law?
When he finds out he can marry Huma, too.
better then boys.....but who is counting? Monica is a celebrity now. Her accomplishments? She swolled a load off a sociopath that betrayed his family. I wonder why Americans feel they can trust him? If he can betray his family, imagine what he did to the US citizens. His wife will be worse. And, he'll be right there to collect the swag from all the dirty deals she makes.
"She swolled a load off". Love it!
Ahem...no she didn't. If she would have "swolled", history would be different.
Oh, a buncha other guys who visited that island also were frequent players at the Dolphin House in London, where the little boy gigs went down.
And Bill's been to a buncha Bohemian Grove playthings.
Just sayin'
That would be the case in a better, moral, formerly sane America.
Well, that's a step up for Bill.
This is going to sound like an auto insurance commerical featuring a now famous reptile--"everyone knows that." Exactly what has Bill Clinton's well-documented excursions got to do with Karl Lagerfeld's cat, other than we're talking about pussy?
If you were "married" to Cankles, would you do her?
Probably not, but then, everyone knows that.
My Jack Russell would like to have a chat with that cat. It's butt hole would never be the same.
His cologne stinks......bad....in fact, it smells like cat piss
Fuck you Karl, and your stupid fucking cat. Proof positive of what ails this poor planet. I hope you both come down with some wretched, incurable disease.
Why would anybody reddy that comment? Jesus.....
That cat looks very sad and very confused
It is a plaything a non object like the sheeple they rip off
GOOD.

Karl is boss.
"She is the center of the world. If you saw her, you would understand"
I see her, and what I understand is that cats are generally good for just two things: hood ornaments and speed bumps.
Cats are proof that God did not intend for all creatures to have a purpose.
Cats excel at pest control
Not in Karl's case.
double
Let's drop this foppish mollusk--and his fucking cat--off in a back alley in a Chicago ghetto and watch him explain his "concept" to the natives.
I can't fucking stand these fashion world faggots!
Is the high-collared shirt a fashion statement or to hide his scraggly neck?
Yes and yes.
It also hides the cat scratch marks.
All fashion is is a way to hide physical imperfections, or flaunt one's shape if there are few such imperfections.
Hence, catwalk fashion, on physically near-perfect creatures, bears no resemblance to actual fashions normal people wear.
"catwalk" !!!!!!! Booyah!
Actually if you really dig into it, he's just one more parasite non producer suckering in the masses, He's obviously got a good carnival schtick going, you can't blame him, being the lamprey that he is. More power to ya, ya clown. Ride that bitch right off the cliff.
tha's obviously the only pussy he has ever liked.
Seeing how it is positively insane to pay millions for a not-particularly-distinctive-looking cat to do a photoshoot, I wonder what the real quid pro quo was?
Gotta admit it's a novel way to launder money though.
"If you saw her, you would understand."
I see you and I understand: you are a worthless piece of shit.
Center of the world? Every cat thinks that of themselves.
Some folks like pussies.
Fucking weirdo always looks like he hasn't had a bowel movement in a month.
He removes the butt Plug for that
Choupette hates Karl Lagerfeld.
That's how cats are.

Feed me or I leave

you are dead in which case I'll eat you,
then I'll leave.

Nice fucking shirt collar! [sarc]
Who's his fashion designer?
It goes with the broomstick up his ass.
Unlike Karl, I like my cats almost hairless and two-tone (tan on the outside, pink on the inside).
+ bazillion
Looks like they just got done Fucking each other
Karl Lagerfeld's cat looks like a big pussy.
I'd like to skin Karl in anatomy class.
He looks like Lee Marvin being attacked by an alien shirt creature.
For lack of bread the cat is dead,
For lack of meat the cat is eat.
when karl flips burgers at McDonald's and Kim Kardashian shovels manure on a farm then I will feel that Obamanomics has worked.
But by then everyone will be farmers thanks to Obama-collectivisation. Forward comrade!
Creepy Douchebag.

HOW HIGH OIL PRICES WILL PERMANENTLY CAP ECONOMIC GROWTH For most of the last century, cheap oil powered global economic growth. But in the last decade, the price of oil has quadrupled, and that shift will permanently shackle the growth potential of the world’s economies. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-09-23/how-high-oil-prices-will-permanently-cap-economic-growth
BUT WE NEED HIGH OIL PRICES: The marginal cost of the 50 largest oil and gas producers globally increased to US$92/bbl in 2011, an increase of 11% y-o-y and in-line with historical average CAGR growth. http://ftalphaville.ft.com/2012/05/02/983171/marginal-oil-production-costs-are-heading-towards-100barrel/
THE PERFECT STORM (see p. 59 onwards)
The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel. http://ftalphaville.ft.com/files/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf
Nice pussy. Nice earner. So why does Karl Wotsitfeld look soooo fukkin miserable?
Must come with the territory, or he tried to put one over on the feline and she bitched back..?
If Karl Lagerfeld can con the elite into believing his bs, more power to him.
All that's left is for someone to make their horse Secretary of State and the historical allegory will be complete.
The only thing that they are good for is throwing out of airplanes for "Americas Favorite Cat Chase."
