Thoroughbred Racehorse

Thoroughbred racehorses are the most valuable and costly horses. Racehorses may appear identical to other horses from afar, but their abilities and genetics set them apart, with some specimens fetching millions of dollars. These horses have the potential to earn millions of dollars in racing and potentially much more as studs. A thoroughbred racehorse's value skyrockets after it has shown itself on the racecourse. In fact, every time a horse wins, its value grows. After a horse has earned a million dollars or more, it is worth far more than it was originally purchased.

Among them, Fusaichi Pegasus has the title of one of the most expensive animals. Despite being purchased for $4 million as a yearling, Fusaichi Pegasus was sold for $70 million in 2000 after winning the Kentucky Derby. Although the price may appear high, the horse earned exorbitant stud fees after retiring from racing. Ruler On Ice, his most famous foal, won the Belmont Stakes in 2011.

Price: $70 million
