This 29-Year-Old Was A Waitress — Then She Got A Cat With Dwarfism, Quit Her Job, And Became A Multi-Millionaire
Tabatha Bundesen, 29, is the owner of feline internet sensation Grumpy Cat. She lives in Arizona.
On Sept. 22, 2012, Bundesen's brother changed her life.
Bundesen was working as a waitress. Her brother took a photo of her peeved-looking cat and posted it to Reddit. The photo went viral and Grumpy Cat quickly became a meme, with recognition on sites like BuzzFeed and CNBC.
It earned more than 1 million views on Imgur within 48 hours.
Grumpy Cat has a form of dwarfism and an underbite that yields a perpetual frown.
I disagree. It shows how opportunity and commerce can still make a millionaire out of an everyday person. Agreed, this is a rare exception, where the impetus is provided by a pet animal rather than a commodity, but it is still just a regular person seizing an opportunity, rather than trying to sue some one or living off state sustenance!
a million $, this shows how f'd up our society is!
