Saudi buys goat for $3 million

From Al Arabiya:
A Saudi businessman has sold a goat for an unprecedented price of $3 million, according to news reports on Monday.

Local newspaper Okaz reported that the sale of the animal for 13 million Saudi riyals ($3.46 million) caused a stir on social media.

Websites have published images of the multimillion-goat and the cheque that sealed the deal.

Experts interested in goat trading said the animal had unique features and is a rare breed, according to the report.
Believe it or not, this is not the most expensive animal ever sold. Not by a long shot. A racehorse named Green Monkey, who had great genes, was sold for $16 million in 2006. It only made $10,000 in its career.
