Number plate 1 auctioned for 52.2 million, enters world record
The most sought after car number plate in Abu Dhabi was auctioned today for AED 52.2 million, entering the Guinness Book of Records as the 'most expensive number plate'.
The (1) number plate was sold to Emarati businessman Saeed Abdul Ghafar Khouri who managed to break the record held by his compatriot Talal Khouri for buying the number (5) for AED 25 million.
Proceeds from the sale of number (1) and other single and double digit car plate numbers will be used to build a hospital for treatment of traffic accidents victims.
