The $400 Million Dog: Gunther VI, Richer Than Most Humans

Over the decades, this wealth has multiplied, making the current heir, Gunther VI, a multimillionaire canine.

Yet, at other times, he claimed this confession itself was a hoax, leaving the true origins of Gunther’s wealth shrouded in mystery.
