Ben lived in the county of buckinghamshire with 15 cats. When he died, however, only Blackie was still alive and he ended up as the millionaire’s heir. The Briton lived in isolation and refused to leave any of his money with his family. In addition to Blackie, Ben has also chosen his gardener and his mechanic to inherit the fortune.
To ensure the animal’s well-being even after its death, Ben donated Blackie’s money to three cat charities on the condition that the feline was well cared for until its last days. The reason he still holds the title of richest cat in the world, even, is because the millionaire associates his fortune with these institutions.
