Dubai, UAE – Owning a tiger in Dubai may seem like the ultimate symbol of wealth and exclusivity, but the costs run far beyond the initial purchase price. While acquiring a tiger can cost around $50,000 upfront, the real financial commitment begins afterward.
Over the years, a few ultra-wealthy residents in Dubai have kept exotic animals in private, zoo-style enclosures within their estates. Annual upkeep for a big cat can exceed $100,000, covering essentials such as food, reinforced habitats, veterinary care, permits, handlers, insurance, and transportation. In the first year alone, total expenses can easily surpass $200,000.
For some owners, the motivation was less about companionship and more about status and exclusivity. Today, however, UAE regulations have become significantly stricter, with stronger enforcement focused on animal welfare and conservation. In modern Dubai, luxury is evolving — and the spotlight is increasingly shifting from mere possession of exotic animals to responsible and ethical care.
