Cadabom Okami, the world’s most expensive dog, makes a grand appearance with owner S. Sathish after being purchased for £4.4m (₦8.67bn)
An Indian billionaire dog breeder, S. Sathish, has bought a rare ‘wolfdog’ named Cadabom Okami, for 4.4 million pounds, equivalent to 8.67 billion naira.
The eight-month-old dog was purchased by the Bengaluru-based dog breeder, who made the headlines after buying it.
Cadabom Okami is not your regular pet, while the new owner is no stranger to rare breeds.
The monstrous animal is a cross between a wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd and currently weighs about 75 kilograms, standing 30 inches tall.
Sathish is the President of the Indian Dog Breeders Association and is said to own over 150 exotic dogs.
“I spent 50 million rupees on buying this pup because I am fond of dogs and like to own unique dogs and introduce them to India,” Sathish said.
This is not Sathish’s first extravagant purchase.
In 2024, he bought a chow-chow that closely resembles a Qinling panda for 3 million Euros.
“I employ six keepers, and all my dogs are fed raw food.
”The estate covers seven hectares, so they all have plenty of space to romp around,” he said.
Sathish also claims that his dogs attract huge crowds during public appearances, where he reportedly earns handsomely.
“I spent money on these dogs because they are rare.
“Besides, I get enough money because people are always curious to see them.
“They take selfies and pictures.
“My dog and I get more attention than an actor at a movie screening!
“We both are crowd-pullers,” he explained.
The value of the dog has now drawn comparisons with the GDPs of several African countries.
Available data has shown that at least five African nations have a GDP lower than 8.6 billion naira.
The countries include São Tomé and Príncipe, Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, Seychelles, and Lesotho.
Whether viewed as a symbol of prestige or extravagance, Cadabom Okami has now entered global history books.
This is because it is not just as a pet, but is also a four-legged multimillionaire.
