Grumpy Cat turns a genetic defect into a $100 million empire

*

A cat that does nothing but look mildly peeved has managed to parlay that "talent" into nearly $100 million in just over two years, according to the Express . Grumpy Cat's newly-rich owner, Tabatha Bundeson called the feline (whose real name is Tardar Sauce) "unstoppable... what she's achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and absolutely mind-blowing." Feline dwarfism and an underbite caused the cat's permanent glower, which has been plastered over books, merchandise and soon, a Showtime film. It even managed to out-earn most Hollywood and sports stars this year -- so if you happen to see four fiery, skull-headed horsemen around, now you know why.
