The World's Richest Cat Is Broke

Johnny Mac shares five stories, including that Karl Lagerfeld’s famed cat Choupette has not received the reported $1.5 million inheritance seven years after his death due to a dispute involving the estate and French tax authorities; under French law pets can’t inherit directly, so money would go to her caretaker, who says she has received nothing and works part-time to support the cat. In Miami, 500+ soccer players and 5,000+ people broke a Guinness World Record by juggling a soccer ball in unison for 10 seconds to fund grassroots soccer upgrades in the US and Mexico. Apple says iOS 27 will bring an advanced CPU scheduler to older iPhones. A metal detectorist found a rare late 16th/early 17th century gold and diamond ring expected to sell for £15,000–£20,000 and recovered a missing diamond by sieving the soil. Arsenal donates worn player socks to Redwings Horse Sanctuary for equine medical and protective uses.

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Now bad news for the world's richest cat. The world's richest cat is broke. Yeah, it's Shupette's, a blue cream Berman cat adored by the late fashion designer Carl Lagerfield. Chappette was supposed to benefit from Carl's fortune after his death in twenty nineteen. During Lagerfield's lifetime, Chupette became a celebrity in her own right, appearing in an advertising campaign and living a lifestyle that included private jet travel, bone China dining service, and two dedicated caretakers. Reports indicated that the cat had been left one point five million dollars. However, seven years after Lagerfield's death, the money is yet to be distributed. Chappette now lives in Paris with Lagerfield's former housekeeper.

0:55 The housekeeper said she and Chappette received nothing from the estate and revealed that she has to work part time just to support the cat. Here's the issue. There's some sort of dispute between the estate and French tax authorities. Until that's resolved, beneficiaries named in the designers will have been unable to receive their inheritances now. Meanwhile, seven years of this cat's life have ticked away. Under French law, pets cannot directly inherit money because they're legally considered property. Instead, any funds included for Chappette would be distributed to her caretaker. I'll let you know what happens. Is that good news, John? I guess it wasn't. Sorry. Four good news stories and a cat story. How about this? This is good news? You like soccer? A you're watching the World Cup well. On June sixth, the more than five hundred soccer players gathered in Miami alongside more than five thousand people to juggle a soccer ball in unison for ten seconds and break a Guinness World record. This was organized by the Global Environment Campaign where Football Lives. Proceeds from the events will support upgrades to grassroots soccer sites across the US and Mexico. Good news if your phone is getting older, Apple wants old phones to run better. Yeah yeah. When iOS twenty seven arrives this fall, older iPhones will have access to an Advanced CPU Scheduler, a system available on newer models that helps manage a phone's workload as suited.

2:11 Apple said, even when you're doing a ton of things at once, requiring a whole load of compute, the CPU's scheduler ensures the right work is executed at precisely the right time. A metal detectorist has found a rare golden diamond ring dating from the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century that's expected to sell before between fifteen and twenty thousand British pounds at an auction. The diamond cluster ring was discovered while Stewart was searching alone in a field. He said, I've been metal detecting for several years and I'm a member of multiple detecting groups. I've always been fascinated by history, archaeology and the possibility of finding treasure. On the day of the discovery, he said, the location where I found the ring was somewhere never been before, and there's been a dig there several months earlier. On the day, I found the ring with my garret Ace four hundred, I fitted with a tornado coil, as one does from nine until four. He found the ring during the last hour and a half of the day. The weather was slightly warm but overcast. Now one diamond became detached.

3:06 When the ring was recovered, a second stone was missing entirely. However, we're told that mister Jones had the forethought to collect all the soil around the fine site and take it home with him. Having previously attempted gold panning, he had suitable equipment. He washed and seeved the retrieved soil and found the missing diamond. Good job, sir, and more soccer. It is World Cup time. One English soccer club has found a way to recycle old equipment by turning worn out player socks into medical supplies for horses and donkeys. Okay, I didn't know where we're going there. I was like, what are you gonna do with old socks? But okay. Fresh off their championship, Arsenal has been donating used team socks to the animal welfare charity Red Wings Horse Sanctuary.

3:48 Niccolo works for the donation if. Nicola says, the socks are being used for anything from protecting our rescued residents sensitive legs from flies to holding their vet bandages in place. They're also protecting them from head collar rubs and even holding back the hair on their legs when they get their feet trimmed. Their fantastic bit of kit and we're so pleased that Arsenal reached out to us. Michael is Arsenal's operational sustainability manager. Michael says, we're always looking for ways to reduce waste and make a positive impact through the actions we take as a club, and it's great that we could work together to repurpose our old kit towards the care and well being of animals. And those are your five good news stories for today. You have an awesome day.
