When animal-lover Paris Hilton visited South Africa with her touring boyfriend Benji Madden, she enquired with locals about how much a cheetah would cost to buy.

The dim-witted socialite is currently in the country to accompany Good Charlotte on tour.

Not happy with being a groupie, Paris reportedly asked how much everything cost in the country, including fashion choices of the local residents.

A source tells Gatecrasher: "Every time Paris saw something she liked, like a woman's dress, she would ask how much it was.

“That included a cheetah she saw at an animal park. She asked how much it was and said, 'If I bought a cheetah, would it run away from me or could I keep it?'"

If you were a cheetah, would you run away from Paris or let her keep you? Be sure to leave your comments below.
