This is outright crazy. An Arabian billionaire Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri has paid the equivalent of $14.5 million for a UAE license plate with only the number ‘1’ on it, at a recent auction in Abu Dhabi. That’s more money that what it would cost to buy a garage full of exotics. So why did Khouri pay this ridiculous amount? He wanted exclusivity and fame, and was willing to spend up to $30 million if the bids would have gone higher. The proceeds from this auction would go to help traffic accident victims in the city, a noble cause.
The question that comes to mind is, which car is the number plate going to be stuck on?
