best for REAL LIFE
Looking for a way to make extra cash this year? If you have a furry friend at home, you could be sitting on a gold mine…
Jiffpom
With more than nine million followers on Instragram alone, and living the highlife in LA, it’s no wonder this 13-year-old Pomeranian is thought of one of the most profitable pooches on the planet, according to a study by thepetlabco.com. The nutrition experts analysed the follower counts, estimated post impressions and engagement rates on 100 of the social media platform’s most popular canine profiles and Jiffpom came up trumps. The pooch loves dressing up, and first made headlines back in 2014 when he became a Guinness World Record holder twice over. Once for the fastest 10-metre run on hind legs and the fastest fivemetre run on front paws. Talented little thing!
And Jiffpom’s star power continued to rise when he featured in Katy Perry’s music video for Dark Horse that same year. He’s had a few other TV and film credits, as well as adverts for American brands Target and Banana Republic. There are books about him too.
Then in 2017, the cutie went to Germany for a guest appearance in helping to launch computer game Sims 4: Cats and Dogs.
It’s rumoured that the tiny sandy-coloured canine’s owners have remained anonymous in a bid not to take attention away from their furry friend, but the cutie still poses with celebs on social media. Jiffpom has the potential to fetch as much as £42,000 per sponsored Instagram post and we wonder what he spends his money on? Fine doggy cuisine, posh grooming, outfits and flashy collars? Who knows, but we’d like a bit of his star quality… Follow him @jiffpom.
