How much would an actual jaguar big cat be to purchase?

Question by Mardi: How much would an actual jaguar big cat be to purchase?
Just curious, hypothetically how much would it to purchase and maintain an actual adult Jaguar big cat for lets say a year? Someone forwarded a text "If you had $ 1 for every person you slept with what would you be able to buy?" I said a Jaguar and not the car just to be funny. Now I'm wondering which actually costs more and by how much.

Several thousand dollars for the animal, plus the double covered fence, plus how many pounds of meat it would eat per day times 365. You'd also need to get the necessary permits and have insurance if it bit someone or killed someone's pet. Also you would need a vet that specializes in exotic animals.
