There are a lot of celebrities on social media, but did you know that some celebrities are actually animals? With their cute, funny or unique image, they attract millions of fans and make a lot of money. Today, I'm going to introduce three animals that are famous on social media: Beanie, Chihuahua and Gromte.
豆豆（Doug the Pug）
Beanie is a pug owned by Leslie Mosier, a photographer and writer. Moskowitz began taking photos of Beanie in 2012 and uploading them to Instagram. She found Doudou popular, so she began dressing it in various costumes and props, imitating some pop culture scenes and characters. For example, Beanie used to dress up as Harry Potter, Elvis Presley, Bill Gates, etc. Doudou has also worked with some stars, such as Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato and so on. Now, Doudou has 3.5 million followers on Instagram, 9 million on Facebook and 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube. It has also published two books, Doug the Pug: The King of Pop Culture and Doug the Pug: The Coloring and Activity Book. It is estimated that Doudou makes $500,000 a year.
Chihuahua (Jiffpom)
The Chihuahua is a Pomeranian whose owner is a mysterious woman who does not want to give her name. She started taking photos of Chihuahuas in 2013 and uploading them to Instagram. She found the Chihuahua very popular, so she began to do some stunts and tricks for it, such as standing, jumping, tumbling, etc. Chihuahuas have also appeared in TV shows and commercials, such as The Ellen Show, The Today Show, The Hollywood Reporter, etc. It also appeared in Katy Perry's music video "Dark Horse," playing an Egyptian pharaoh. Chihuahua now has 9 million followers on Instagram, 3 million on Facebook and 1 million subscribers on YouTube. It has also published a book called Jiffpom Cutelife. It is estimated that Chihuahuas earn $1.5 million a year.
Grumpy Cat
Gromte is a cat known for its looks and its owner is Tabatha Bundesen, a former waitress. Bonson took a picture of Gromt in 2012 and uploaded it to Reddit. She found Gromt popular and started creating a website and a Facebook page for it. Gromt looks upset because it suffers from a condition called achondroplasia, which prevents its facial muscles from moving properly. However, this did not affect its quality of life and well-being. Gromte has also appeared in TV shows and commercials such as "American Idol," "The Tonight Show," and "Playboy." It also starred in a movie called Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.
Gromt now has 2.4 million followers on Instagram, 8 million on Facebook and 3 million subscribers on YouTube. It has also published several books, such as Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book and The Grumpy Guide to Life: Observations by Grumpy Cat. It is estimated that Gromt has made $10 million.
