The most expensive animals in the world

Whoever forbids the rich, right :)? We all know this saying very well and we realize that having really big cash can cause many people to make their dreams come true, fantasies or buy something inaccessible to others. What animals do rich people buy and how much do they pay for them? Below is a list of the TOP 10 most expensive animals in the world. Looking through it, let’s bear in mind that many of these prices are prices resulting from the so-called transaction settings, most buyers do not even come to mind to pay such exorbitant rates.

Chinese Crested dog – up to 5 000 dollars

Savannah cats – 4,000 – 10,000 dollars

Cloned Labrador “Sir Lancelot Encore” – 155,000 dollars

Labrador retriever was cloned from frozen dog DNA (Sir Lancelot) belonging to Nina and Edgar Otto. At the auction, it reached the price of $ 155,000. The meaning of cloning of this dog was a bit incomprehensible to us, considering that its predecessor (DNA donor) died of cancer, so the clone is the carrier of the defective DNA.

Miss Missy cow – 1.2 million dollars

Well, everyone has the right to spend money, as he thinks appropriate, why not spend almost 4 million zlotys on … a cow? Miss Missy is not just any cow, belongs to the Holstein Friesians cow and she was the Grand Champion of the 2009 Western Fall National Show in the United States. The current owner was so anxious to have her that he had to pay $ 1,200,000. Missy is the most expensive cow in the world for now.

The most expensive tuna in the world – 1.8 million dollars

Tibetan mastiff – up to 2 million dollars

We know that the Chinese love Tibetan mastiffs. These dogs break the price records almost every year. Initially, their prices reached 100,000, then 500,000, and the current record holder was sold for 2,000,000 dollars. Rumors disseminated by breeders say that dogs of this breed are sold even at a price exceeding $ 3 million. The thing is, in fact, no one paid such a price for these dogs – the auctions are set by breeders in order to raise the price for dogs of this breed. The goals of this kind of transactions are only marketing.

Horse – the Green Monkey – 16 million dollars

This probably does not surprise anyone, because for years we have been hearing about record-breaking auctions. In 2006, the buyer of the 2-year-old horse at that time had great hopes for it and its descendants. Unfortunately, these hopes turned out to be fiery – the horse never won during its starts the sum paid for it by the buyer… Well, it did not hit the poor, so probably we will not regret that Demi O’Byrne bought a horse for 16 million and he lost, right 😉
