BREED: Bengal Cat
PRICE: $42,000
Back in 1998, a resident of London, England, and an apparent cat lover made history when she purchased a second-generation Bengal cat for £25,320. The purchase took Guinness' number-one spot for the most expensive cat breed ever purchased. Bengals, which are recognized by the International Cat Association as a pedigree of cat, generally cost somewhere between $1,000 and $4,000.
