2. Annihilator or Chocolate King
He earned his nickname with an unusual appearance, but thanks to sports victories he gained fame. The pacer developed tremendous speed, for which he became the winner at the races.

It was put up for auction only once and sold for 19,200,000 dollars = 1,454,545,920 rubles. After the handsome man was sent to rest.

1. Frankel
And the first place goes to the most expensive horse in the world. By the way, it is not for sale. Now this horse is included in the private collection of Khalifa Abdul. The owner constantly sent the stallion to the races, and when the animal won 10 wins in the top-rated G1, it was sent to rest.

It was never put up for auction, but the approximate cost is $ 200,000,000 = 20,872,740,000 rubles. And the reason for refusing to sell a horse to someone is understandable, because for mating with him, the owner receives 125 thousand pounds sterling = 13,045,462.5 rubles.
