What is the cheapest type of monkey to buy?

The cheapest type of monkey to buy is typically the Capuchin monkey, which can range from $5,000 to $10,000. However, purchasing a monkey involves not only the initial cost but also ongoing expenses for care, housing, and legal considerations, as many places have restrictions on owning primates. Potential owners should thoroughly research and consider the ethical implications and long-term commitment required before acquiring a monkey.
