While the majority of us think about the next one oil change When thinking about buying a car, some people in the upper echelons of society spend millions just to get the perfect one license plate to grab. A piece of metal? Perhaps. A status symbol? Absolut. In countries like that United Arab Emirates (UAE), a customized license plate is not just an extravagance, but an expression of prosperity. And let's not forget the USA, which has a license plate two same letters considered the ultimate for the elite.
Let's start the countdown:
- 10th place: “Abu Dhabi 7” – A tribute to the seven emirates of the UAE, someone snapped up the special license plate for a staggering $3,9 million on February 2, 2019.
- 9th place: “Abu Dhabi 5” – This license plate went to real estate developer and car enthusiast Balwinder Sahni for $4,6 million. He is also the proud owner of “Dubai 9” for $2,8 million.
- 8th place: “Abu Dhabi 1” – $9,5 million for the “best” license plate? Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri obviously thought so.
- 7th place: “Dubai AA8” – Sahni shows up again, this time for “Dubai AA8”. $9,5 million for another one of his eight license plates.
- 6th place: “Dubai D5” – Sahni just couldn’t get enough. Another $9,6 million for “Dubai D5”.
- 5th place: “Dubai AA9” – A mysterious buyer paid $10 million. Balwinder Sahni, was that you again?
- 4th place: “Dubai P7” – At a charity auction, the sign was sold for a whopping $15 million. Installed on one Mansory Rolls Royce Cullinan.
- 3rd place: USA “New York” – A special license plate that simply reads “New York” sold for $20 million.
- 2nd place: Great Britain “F1” – First purchased for $620.000, it was offered for $2018 million in 20. Quite an increase in value!
- 1st place: USA “MM” – The crown jewel of all license plates. The rare sign sold for an incredible $24,3 million and came with a NFT provided, which makes it even rarer.
Probably unthinkable in this country!
In Germany, such expensive license plates are unimaginable. This is less about prestige and more about pragmatism. An individual license plate? This will cost you a simple EUR 10,20 (online with a small surcharge). A world away from the millions spent on the above signs! Such are the differences in the car world - from the humble desires to the extravagances of the elite. Where would you rank?
