$14.3M License Plate: Auction Sets World Record




No, it's not made of solid gold -- just ordinary aluminum. But it does come with the swagger of being labeled no. "1." And that's evidently worth a record $14.3 million.

Today, a businessman named Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri was willing to pay 52.2 dirham -- the equivalent of $14.3 million -- for the local license plate labeled "1" at an auction at the 7-star Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, making it the world's most expensive license plate.

The previous record was held by Abu Dhabi plate number 5, bought at auction for $6.8 million by stock broker Talal Khouri last year.

The oil-rich cities of the Persian Gulf are driven by car culture, with relatively few pedestrian areas or public transport options. Vanity plates are a matter of personal pride and indulgence.
 

The value of a plate depends on a a mix of math and emotional appeal. Normal license plates have 5 randomized numbers. From there, they get more expensive. Prices go up for fewer digits and cooler numbers. Number one is considered the most prestigious.

"From 1 to 10, these are the most expensive numbers," said Abdulla al Mannaie, managing director of Emirates Auctions. "Ten to 99 are the second category. On the other side, you look to numbers which is like 11, 22, 23 they are expensive because it carry [repeating digits].

"We are trying to link between car models and number plate, like a Ferrari 599 and the plate 599, as well as date of birth or anniversary," said al Mannaie. "They are looking to the number plate as if it is their identity, their personal identity."

Plates "5" and "7" sold for nearly 10 times the value of the luxury cars they adorn.

"Our job at Emirates Auction is to make an expensive car without a prestigious license plate worth nothing," al Mannaie told ABC News. "Owners will change their car, but they will keep using the same plate for life."

He has had the number "383" for more than 30 years. He has since bought a cell phone number to match.

hahaha...and they complain about the brothers in the states and their whips and bling.  these ass clowns got more money but still doing stupid shit with it.  if those oil wells went dry...they'd be back with the Flintstones.

Yea, and women they get. Story in the paper here about some snotty 19 year old Arab, just out of diapers studying in London. £20 million penthouse in Knightsbridge, 12 super cars that include TWO Koenigseggs, a Zonda, a host of Lambo's and Ferrari's with a personalized Veyron incoming. I'm really really not a jealous man and feel happy for people if they've done well of their own back, but people that just get everything handed in life. Irritating.

what type of chicas we talking about...

[affeman]

You, your family, your friends can work all your lives combined and be very successful but you will never have that kind of Arab oil money wealth

Meanwhile none of these assholes has worked one day in their lives. They are fucking primitive cameleers who accidentaly had found a fucking oil spring in their backyard sand dune.

I don't see what's the problem here. You don't become rich by work.  You become rich by taking advantage of the situation and by pure luck. Take those Google guys for example. What did they do that was so extraordinary? Nothing. They did the right things at the right time and now they own half the internet.

Yes but they worked there ass off and took a gamble, with their lives. These guys didnt anti anything to the table nor did they work hard.

White off course. You think they'd settle for second best and go ethnic? I live close to Maida Vale and sometimes nip over to a local bakery every Saturday for bread. It's opposite very nice apartments and there's always little hairy sand trolls hanging with whatever white girl they can impress. I've never ever ever EVER seen a rich Arab with anything other than a white gal.

Yup. Can't wait for oil to run out only to see them hawking desert rocks and plastic toy cars to whatever tourist is mad enough to visit.

no you don't, no oil, means No to alot of things, like tires, etc. If the oil just ran out, we still as a world have no real alternative infrastructure, we are steadily weaning ourselves off of their (Arabs) tit.

There is now a tire company that uses Orange peel oil in their tires, due to the better viscousity than the old skool oil.

Are you getting on with some afrocentrist bullshit.

True...but look for China to try and hoard all precious minerals that are used for battery making, which means a move on African countries rich in said minerals.

I assume the attractive Arabs are so rare they're known by name. You're talking 1/10000 Arab chicks that will be picked above 1/5 white girls. Other than that, it's white girls all the way. No idea why this is even up for discussion. You know this as well as me as well as the next guy. Let's be honest, you won't see an Arab prince hanging with Letoya, LeNatasha. LeWhatTheFuck, from Coon Town. No offence meant.

Nothing is funny their arabs that dont even wanna be arab. Its so fucking arab.

You can't really assume what is underneath a burka (for the extreme situations). Dating is frowned upon in many their countries, unless they are foreign women. Arab women must remain chaste. And if you have a pretty wife, daughter, sister, aunt, many might want her covered up, out of either jealousy, insecurity, or "protection".

If there covered up all the time how do they maintain a descent gene pool.

[TacoBell]

What needs to happen is we need to start trading 1 barrel of oil for 1 bushel of wheat.  If the arabs dont like it, they can eat their oil.
