On the left, the Limited ed plate bought for $8.5M and on the right the standard one for $14.3M, both in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

In 2008, Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri set the world record by paying 52.2 dirham ($14.3 million) for the license plate '1.'

Khouri, who lives in an oil rich, Persian Gulf city, is part of car-centric culture, all of whom depend on cars as their only means of transportation. There are very few other options to get around, and almost no forms of public transportation. The car you drive means everything—and so does having a great vanity plate to go with it. A strong license plate represents pride, indulgence, and confidence.

A limited edition Abu Dhabi Number 1 car licence plate was sold for Dhs31m in an auction in the UAE capital.
The plate was bought by Emirati businessman Abdullah Al Mahri, 32, who told local reporters that he bought it in honour of the country’s rulers.

Too bad for him, Abdullah Al Mahri, the buyer of the $8.5M licence plate was later jailed for 3 years for fraud. :lol:
