[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Pengsoo appeared on 'Surprise.'


On the March 3 broadcast of MBC's 'Surprise,' Pengsoo appeared and revealed the ranking of animals who inherited huge fortunes.


During the broadcast, Pengsoo explained animals known for having wealth greater than humans, jokingly saying, "If there's a penguin on Earth as successful as me, let them come forward." Then, Pengsoo introduced Gunther IV, who currently holds the largest fortune.


Gunther IV's fortune amounts to a staggering $375 million (approximately 420 billion KRW). Countess Carlota Liebenstein of Germany passed away in 1992 and left her entire fortune to her dog, Gunther III. When Gunther III died, the fortune was inherited by his offspring, Gunther IV.


Currently living in a luxury villa in Italy, Gunther IV rides in high-end limousines and eats food prepared with the finest ingredients by butlers and housekeepers.


Next, before introducing the second wealthiest animal, the self-made rich 'Grumpy Cat,' Pengsoo cheekily said, "I started as an EBS trainee and came this far."


'Grumpy Cat,' famous for its grumpy-looking face, signed contracts with many companies and professional advertising agencies after gaining attention. It even launched toy and beverage brands modeled after 'Grumpy Cat,' and its current value is about 111.1 billion KRW (41 million KRW).



Pengsoo then said, "This animal, that animal, all rich, no luck for me," and told the manager, "Please tell Kim Myung-jung, EBS president, to inherit it." Then Pengsoo added, "Can't I become a regular on Surprise?" which brought laughter.
