New York lady leaves a fortune to cats!

A New York lady called Ellen Frey-Wouter has left $300000 of her $3 Million fortune to her cats, named Tiger and Troy. This comes as no surprise to her housekeeper who says that Ellen treats the cats like her babies. In my opinion, this is nuts, who leaves any money to a cat? What are they going to do with it? WHY? Doesn't she have any relatives she could give it to?

World's highest paid rugby player

Charles Pitau, a former All-Black, will very soon be the highest paid rugby player in the world! Pitau, a fullback, has signed a two year deal with an English club called Bristol, the contract lasts 2018 and 2019 and is for a staggering amount of $1.78 Million per year! I myself think that this is a major amount of money for one player and he must be pretty good at his job to get that amount. However I also think that is a pretty overkill amount.

8 Year old climbs Kilamanjaro

8 year old Roxy Getter has become the youngest girl to ever climb Kilimanjaro. Roxy and her family, including her 10 year old brother, from the USA climbed the mountain during their holiday in Tanzania. Sometimes I wonder why people do this, I think that many people would see climbing Kilimanjaro as fun, but I just see them as INSANE! I would definitely not climb Kilimanjaro
