Eyebrows raised after goat with unique features sells for £2.25m ($3.5m) in Saudi Arabia
A Saudi businessman has sold a goat for an unprecedented price of 13 million Saudi riyals (£2.25m, $3.5m).
Websites have published images of the multimillion-dollar goat and the cheque that sealed the deal. Experts interested in goat trading said the animal had unique features and is a rare breed.
Saudis and expatriates were wondering why the man purchased the goat paying such a huge price and considered it sheer extravagance. Commentators on social media were surprised over the astronomical price.
“This should not be encouraged ... especially when more than two million
Syrian refugees languish in makeshift tents in Turkey, Jordan and
Lebanon,” said one commentator. “We should use the god-given money in a
useful way and for the betterment of humanity,” said another.
