If you enjoy a companion in your daily life, you might like a pet. But for the list, we are about to mention you need to be in love with animals to afford them. They are some of the most expensive animals money can buy.

Not only are they expensive to buy, but they can also set you back a few thousand dollars per month to maintain. You might also be required to get a license for these animals since most places may not allow you to keep them without deeming you eligible. There may also be a small cost on the permit, however, it’s the price you pay for love.

We will start the list off with the least expensive and go on to the most expensive.

Micro Pig

These small piggies are the cutest things you may have seen in a long time. Like any normal piggy, they can be trained to stick by your side and help brighten your day with their cuteness. The name micro pig comes from their size. The micro pig can only grow to a knee’s length and remain manageably small throughout its life.

A micro pig can also live up to 25 years if looked after properly and will initially cost you $2000 to buy. Apart from the initial cost, you should be looking at an additional $100 per month for the proper maintenance.

Capuchin Monkey

To give you an idea of what these monkeys are, they’re simply the ones you’ve seen in movies like Night at the museum, The Hangover Part 2, and George Of The Jungle. You may also remember the temperament these monkeys had. Well, it is quite true. They are like that in real life as well.

With the temperament comes along a pretty price of $8,500. To maintain the lifestyle for these snazzy monkies, you will have to set up an enclosure which will cost you anywhere between $650-$3000. Since their appetite is a little small, they will only consume food costing up to $100 per month.

Palm Cockatoo

These cockatoos are known to be one of the biggest species of cockatoos found in Australia. They are native to that land and are known to exhibit extreme territorial behavior. They are also one of the few birds that are known to use tools. They have very strong beaks and break off pieces of wood from trees and display an act of drumming. No one really knows why but it looks like a fun activity.

With such special traits comes a special price of $16,000. They are also known to eat nuts and can easily break them with their mouth. Luckily they’re pretty cheap to maintain, costing only $1000 a year.

Savannah Cats

As exotic as they sound, Savannah cats certainly are. These beautiful creatures certainly are. They are native to America and are crossbreeds between African Sevrals and domestic cat breeds. They are also known to be the largest domesticated cat breeds in the world and are beautiful slender cats.

The cats are beautiful to look at and are just as playful as any other breed. To have such a cat as a pet will require you to purchase the species at a hefty $20,000. These will also set you back around $500-$1000 per month to maintain.

Camels

They may sound like an odd choice to go for as a pet, but those who want to keep one will have to pay a good price. In older Arab times, camels were a sign of wealth and respect. They are still holding up that status and can cost you a good $50,000 to purchase.

Camels are also extremely social and like living in herds or having a partner to tag along with. Make sure to know how they behave in different settings before getting one since most camels are stubborn and can be very hard to train.

Arabian Horse

The Arabian horse is one of the oldest species of horses to exist, with archeological evidence of its bone structure matching those skeletons that were dug up in the Arabian peninsula. With time they have made their way across the world and are easily recognized due to their specified head structure.

The Arabian horse is a good investment and costs around $100,000. A recent book named “The Four Steps” also talks about how horses have a great relationship with their owners once treated correctly. The Arabian horse is also willing to connect to its owner and wants to please them. They are easily trained and can also be used for Rodeos.

Red Purebred Tibetian Mastiff

An absolutely humongous dog. The Tibetian Mastiff were originally bred to be guard dogs and are now domesticated. These beautiful creatures are huge and equally stunning to look at. They are found in various colors, but one of the most unique is the color red. The red can range, but a red Tibetian purebred will leave you stunned.

Just as stunning as the dog itself may be, the price is too. This majestic beast has gone for a casual $582,000. A Chinese man has also willingly purchased a rare Tibetian Mastiff at a hefty price of $1.5 million.

Green Monkey Thoroughbred Racehorse

Topping the charts is this beautiful horse that was an investment and a pet. This horse was highly sought after in the equestrian world and was not only a racer but a loving pet for the owners. He was said to have run a mile in almost 9.8 seconds. He was an excellent horse and the family still honor his presence by not giving his stable to any other horse.

He lays to rest on that very farm. The way equestrians build a relationship with their horses is truly a sight to see and is prominent in the book “The Four Steps.” They are cherished and loved just as any other pet would be.
