The Cat With a HK$500,000 Birthday Wish List
Aug 16, 2017
One has to wonder if Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld’s pet cat is garnering more attention than Lagerfeld himself. To celebrate Choupette’s birthday, Karl just released her birthday wish list on his blog, and as you can guess, it features quite a few designs that he himself worked on. In addition, there are some luxurious jaunts to French hotels, a pawdicure, private jets and you know, a few other items you would expect of the feline upper-class.
Now the list itself gained some buzz, and while it’s clear it’s a hypothetical wish list, we wanted to know: how much would this birthday actually cost? It seems no one else is asking the same question, so we did some digging ourselves. Here’s the approximate breakdown:
Choupette’s Birthday Wish List: A Cost Breakdown
A night in Les Grands Appartements Suite at Hôtel de Crillon, Paris – HK$282,000
A Pawdicure In Paris – HK$550
Fidget Spinner from Colette – HK$470
100 Fresh White Roses – HK$2100
A Suite at the Château de la Messardière – HK$15,000
Private Jet to Ramatuelle – HK$80,000
Klorane Dry Shampoo – HK$140
KARL LAGERFELD X Steven Wilson iPhone 7 Case – HK$270
A New Set of Goyard Dining Dishes – ~HK$25,000-40,000
Shopping spree at 5th Avenue, NY – HK$100,000 (This is either too much or to too little)
Total: Approximately HK$500,000 (US$64,000)
The Takeaway?
Sure, Choupette is asking for gifts that cost a little over HK$500,000 dollars, but you know what they say, you can’t put a price on love. Happy Birthday Choupette, we hope you get what you wished for.
