Buying a monkey can be an expensive endeavor, with the price ranging from a couple of hundred of dollars to several thousand. Monkeys can cost anywhere from $3,500 to $5,000, depending on the monkey’s age, rarity and temperament. Additional costs such as specialized caging, a veterinary checkup, and diet will also result in extra expenses.
Some countries require permits for owning a monkey, making it an even more complex process, and adding to the cost.
