Melanie Griffith, Lion – $8,000
Here is another popular trend we see on the rise as it relates to celebrities and pets they desire to own – buying and living with lions. Melanie Griffith bought a small male lion that she named Neil, for $8,000, back in the 1970s, and had their lives together documented across several media.
Griffin kept the lion for a while until she had the same thought many of us have, “not living in the same house with a wild animal”. Though it had never posed a threat to Melanie or those he was around, she still wasn’t too sure of the idea and later gave him over to an exotic animal center.
