His adoption story is unique: Swift met him on the set of her "ME!" music video, where he was a kitten actor. She instantly bonded with him and adopted him after the shoot. He is often described as the most affectionate and "dog-like" of the three.
The Staggering Wealth of Olivia Benson: A Feline Superstar
The entity that consistently generates the most curiosity and headlines is Olivia Benson, the middle child Scottish Fold. Her reported wealth is not just a fun fact; it's a testament to the power of Taylor Swift's brand and the commercial viability of her pets.
The incredible figure of $97 million in net worth comes from a calculated valuation of her various public appearances and brand endorsements. Unlike many celebrity pets, Olivia has been consistently featured in high-profile projects. Her work portfolio includes a number of lucrative roles:
- Music Video Star: Olivia, along with Meredith and Benjamin, made a memorable appearance in the 2019 music video for "ME!"
- Major Commercials: She has been featured in advertisements for major brands, including Diet Coke and Ned Sneakers.
- Merchandise Model: The Scottish Fold’s image is frequently used on official Taylor Swift merchandise, from t-shirts to calendars, generating significant revenue.
- Cameos in Films: Olivia has even made brief appearances in some of Swift’s projects, further cementing her status as a working feline.
This valuation places her in an elite group of the world's richest pets, demonstrating that her namesake, Detective Olivia Benson, isn't the only one with a powerful reputation. Her wealth is derived purely from her public image and commercial activities, solidifying her status as a true celebrity in her own right.
The Breeds and Personalities: Scottish Fold vs. Ragdoll
The dynamic between the three cats is fascinating, largely due to their different breeds and the resulting personalities. Meredith and Olivia are both Scottish Folds, while Benjamin is a Ragdoll. Understanding these breeds helps fans grasp the unique chemistry of the trio.
The Scottish Fold Sisters: Meredith and Olivia
The Scottish Fold breed is characterized by a natural dominant gene mutation that affects the cartilage in the ears, causing them to fold forward and down towards the head. This gives them an "owl-like" appearance that contributes to their distinctive look. However, their personalities are often quite different.
Meredith, the elder Scottish Fold, has a reputation for being aloof and dramatic. Taylor Swift often posts videos and photos highlighting Meredith’s reluctance to be filmed or her tendency to simply "not care" about the chaos around her. This contrasts with Olivia, who, despite being the wealthier of the two, is generally seen as more expressive and involved in Swift's daily life, often appearing in social media posts in various comical poses.
The Affectionate Ragdoll: Benjamin Button
Benjamin Button, the newest addition, is a Ragdoll cat. This breed is famously known for its docile and affectionate nature. Ragdolls often go limp when picked up, a trait that gives the breed its name. They are also highly social and known for following their owners from room to room—a trait that makes Benjamin the perfect foil to his more independent Scottish Fold sisters.
Benjamin’s adoption story, meeting Swift on the set of a professional music video shoot, perfectly encapsulates his gentle and friendly nature. He was instantly comfortable with the pop star, leading to his permanent place in the family. He is the sweet, fluffy, blue-eyed younger brother who brings a different energy to the household.
The Cats' Latest Pop Culture Moments in 2025
Even with Taylor Swift’s focus on the massive Eras Tour and her high-profile relationship, her cats continue to make headlines. The most recent updates about the trio keep the topical authority of their celebrity status fresh.
In a recent August 2025 appearance on her boyfriend's *New Heights* podcast, Swift shared a charming anecdote about introducing her cats to new family members, highlighting their current life behind the scenes. Furthermore, the fact that Olivia Benson’s net worth continues to be a major talking point in global finance and lifestyle publications ensures that the feline superstar remains a relevant entity in 2025.
From the reserved Meredith Grey to the multi-millionaire Olivia Benson and the cuddly Benjamin Button, Taylor Swift's three cats are much more than pets; they are an integral, beloved, and highly valuable part of her public persona and a constant source of joy and entertainment for her millions of fans worldwide. Their enduring popularity is a testament to the powerful bond between a devoted cat mom and her three feline superstars.
