White Lion Cub
Estimated Value: $140,000
Other Pet Expenses: initial set-up ($100,000), annual costs ($13,000)
You’ve probably heard about people owning tigers or lions, so what can be more exotic than that? How about a white lion? First seen in South Africa in 1983, these animals have a rare mutation that prevents them from having pigment in their fur. One white lion cub would cost you about $140,000 though, and since these animals don’t like being alone, you’ll probably need to buy two.
