Exotic Pets

The wildest accessory yet: How the super-rich are flaunting their exotic 'pets' online including cheetahs riding in super cars and a lion cub in a Louis Vuitton cat carrier

• Super rich flaunt pictures of their exotic 'pets' on Instagram 
• Humaid AlBuQaish has a collection of big cats and various primates
• Cheetahs are popular pet in UAE but illegal to keep domestically in UK
• Lion pictured in speed boat and taking dip in swimming pool  

They're known for flaunting their wealth online, posting snaps of their designer shopping hauls, super cars and trips on private jets - but it appears there's a new must-have status symbol for the super rich. 

Forget a designer dog breed, the most-sought after 'pet' for the wealthy is an exotic animal such as a tiger, cheetah or a lion. 

And of course, they're eager to show off their latest trinket on Instagram posting pictures of cheetahs riding in super cars or taking a dip in the pool with a lion.
