Arabs always looking for where to throw away money.

1. License Plate reads “1”.


Businessman Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri shelled out 52.2 dirham, which equates to more than $14.2 million to purchase a license plate with the number one. He ousted his relative from the top spot after less than on year and actually paid more for his one plate than his family member did for the second and third most expensive plates on this lit. Overall, it is the most expensive license plate of all time, surpassing a license plate in the United Kingdom that read “F1.”
With more than 700 people in attendance at Abu Dhabi’s seven-star Emirates Palace, ready to spend their money on the license plate, it was Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri who spent the money to be the best. He isn’t like Talal Ali Mohammad Khouri who won the “5” auction. He didn’t buy it with the hopes of making more money for charity after his death. He instead bought it because he wanted to be the one who had it and didn’t care how much money he needed to spend.
