Celebrities are practically known for spending their riches on useless things. But when it comes to helping animals, not a penny goes to waste.
While this list often includes cats and dogs, some celebs have a soft spot for, shall we say, different kinds of animals.
This includes everything from bearded dragons to pot-bellied pigs. Here are 10+ celebrities who have strange pets.
The Legally Blonde actress has a big heart for animals. So big, in fact, that she has her own farm at her house!
There, she has a horse, two pigs, chickens, and her goats, Martha and George Washington.
The actress has been through thick-and-thin with her chickens!
"We had six chickens, we got seven new ones, babies...We decided to introduce them, and Captain Hook, one of our older chickens, was not nice," she told Ellen DeGeneres in 2018.
Once upon a time, The Simple Life star owned a kinkajou, which is a raccoon-like animal. Yes, it's true.
She named it Baby Love, but the little thing didn't have much love for the star, as it bit her...
“Baby luv bit her. It’s a superficial bite on her left arm,” her publicist, Elliot Mintz, said back in 2006.
“She was seen by a doctor, who treated the wound, gave her a tetanus shot, cleaned the wound and applied something to it,” Mintz said.
This mom has her hands full! In addition to her five kids, she has a hairless guinea pig, bunnies, chickens, dogs, hamsters, and bearded dragons!
"We have four little guys… Slushie, Kisses, Blackbeard and Kizmet. A few of them we actually hatched from eggs, which was so cool," she wrote on her website.
"One of our adopted piggies had babies! When we adopted her we had no idea she was pregnant. We were so shocked to hear the little squeaks of baby piglets," Spelling wrote on Instagram.
"Mama and her three little pigs are happy and healthy."
In addition to her adorable Australian shepherd named Finn, Amanda has a donkey named Gus!
The animal lives with Amanda and her family in a converted farmhouse in the Catskills outside New York City.
The Big Bang Theory alum owns Esau, a hairless Peterbald cat.
"I consider Esau my first son," she told Modern Cat.
"I got him nine years ago. At the time, I wasn’t as heavy into the vegan/animal rights community like I am now, and I fell in love with him at a pet store in Bel Air."
She continued:
"His siblings had been adopted but he remained. I took him home and we’ve been together ever since. He is a Peterbald breed and, as others of his breed are, he is more human than most humans I know. He’s communicative, exceedingly affectionate, always [feeling] cold, but always loving."
In 2010, the famous actor purchased a Sulcata tortoise that can live up to 80 years!
He did so at the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show Sulcata for just $400.
If you watched The Hangover, then you've already seen one of Mike Tyson's pet Tigers.
Most noteably, he had three Bengal tigers, which reportedly cost $70,000 each. In the end, though, he had to give them up.
The actor once owned a pot-bellied pig named Max. Sadly, Max passed away in 2006 at the age of 18.
Apparently, George and the pig were inseparable. He even once reportedly called their friendship his "longest relationship to date."
Just before tying the knot for the second time with wife Hailey Baldwin, the pair welcomed two new members into the family: two exotic Savannah cats named Sushi and Tuna.
In total, they cost $20,000 and $15,000, respectively, from Illinois-based breeder Select Exotics.
So far, they have over 490k followers!
According to the breeder's site, the Savannah breed is part domestic cat and part African Serval, a wild feline with “intelligence that rivals the smartest of dogs."
Arnold may look tough, but he's always had a soft spot for animals!
In addition to his dog, Cherry, he owns a pet Donkey named Lulu and a pet pony named Whiskey. You'll often find them on his Instagram!
The PSA was sooo adorable!
When Arnold was interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel, he even revealed that they're free to roam the house! And they watch him workout.
In February 2019, the Grown Ups star revealed that she had adopted a gray owl.
“I love him so much!” she shared back then. In total, though, the actress has around 50 pets! That's incredible, how does she do it?
“I had promised my husband I was going to stop because at the time I had 10 dogs, 5 parrots, I had alpacas, horses, cats," she said.
For a while there, the singer had a Capuchin monkey, which he received as an unexpected birthday present.
The monkey was seized, however, when Bieber decided to bring the monkey to Germany while he was on tour. So cute, wow.
