Sometime ago we reported the sale of the F1 number place that went for slightly less than a million US dollars, then there was the number 5 number plate that went for a few millions in the middle east and now this, a record US$14.5million for UAE license plate number 1.
Owner and Arabian billionaire businessman, Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri is yet to decide which of his assuredly many vehicles he will mount the plate on but what is really baffling is that Mr. Khouri was reportedly willing to pay twice as much as he did, an astonishing US$30 million! The money made from the sale is apparently going to be used to assist victims of traffic accidents.
In a land where wealth is determined by what car you drive and what number plate you have, Mr. Khouri stands alone with his number plate, at the number 1 spot with his number 1 plate.
