A Belgian Pigeon Named Armando is Worth $1.4 Million

Armando isn’t just any old pigeon. The racing champ is a Belgian bird that, according to CNN, is the best long-distance racing pigeon “of all time.” In March 2019, a Chinese financier named Xing Wei bought Armando for a whopping $1.4 million, making him the most expensive bird ever to be sold at auction by a reportedly “huge” margin.
