(#5) Michael Jackson's Chimpanzee
Who doesn't know about Bubbles? Before Justin Bieber attempted to sneak a monkey back into the country, the King of Pop was taking his pet chimp Bubbles out in matching outfits and treating him like a member of the royal family, which in a way, he was.
Bubbles reportedly slept on a small cot in Jackson’s room, ate at the same table with guests, used the same toilet, and was known to eat candy in the Neverland movie theater. But as Bubbles matured into a large and aggressive adult chimp, his time in the spotlight was over, and he was was moved to the Center for Great Apes, a sanctuary in Wauchula, FL, where he has lived since 2005.

(#10) Kristen Stewart's Wolf/Dog Hybrid
Whether you're Team Edward or Team Jacob, you have to admit that Kristin Stewart's wolf hybrid dog Jack looks tough. The Twilight star’s mom owns several wolf-dog hybrids, and they are apparently legal.
That didn't stop a neighbor from accusing the star's mom of "harboring wolves" during an ugly dispute between the women.
According to K-Stew's mom, she has the appropriate licensing to own them.

(#15) Reese Witherspoon’s Miniature Donkey
Reese Witherspoon is known for her Southern charm, so it's no surprise that her own farm includes pigs, goats, a horse, dogs and chickens. But her collection just wasn't complete with what might be the cutest asses you'll ever see.
While visiting a friend’s farm, the actress fell in love with miniature donkeys and bought two of her own, which she named Honky and Tonky.

(#8) Mike Tyson’s Pigeons And Tigers
Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was an amazing boxer, albeit one who is probably best known as the boxer who bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear. Tyson's love of pigeons dates back to his days as a kid in Brooklyn, and the fighter has said that that the hobby inspired his boxing career.
It happened when bullies confronted a young Tyson, grabbed his pigeon, and savagely twisted off its head. "That was the first time I threw a punch," Tyson said.
"My pigeons have gone on an amazing journey with me from a child to a man," Tyson said to the New York Times. "They’ve been with me when I didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. They were also there when I had more money than I could even count. But rich or poor never meant anything when it came to my birds."
In 2011, Tyson appeared on Taking On Tyson, an Animal Planet show that featured the former champ in the world of competitive pigeon racing.
At the height of his career, Tyson also owned several white tigers, as memorialized by a fictional tiger in The Hangover. Tyson claimed the big cats were expensive to keep up, so he had to give them away.

(#6) Kirstie Alley’s Lemurs
What exactly is a lemur? According to the official California Department of Fish and Wildlife restricted species list, a lemur is a primate, which makes it illegal to possess. That hasn't stopped actress Kirstie Alley, who has 14 of them at her Los Angeles home. It doesn't come cheap.
“I have three new sets of baby lemur twins," she said. "I think it’s a little bit rare, but we have three females and each one had a set of twins. I don’t recommend them as pets for people because they’re very expensive. I have two full-time zookeepers that take care of just them. It costs about $40,000 to keep the lemurs.”
The lemurs are even written into her will.
