2 days has passed since my first blog in search for Dubai Elite Cars but so far I haven't seen any 3-digit ferraris roaming around (this might be more difficult than I thought it would be haha).
So for the meantime, let's talk about how "Elite" these plate numbers really are and what is the most expensive plate number ever sold.
So I searched in Google exactly as I wanted (like what we usually do when we search for our home works): "Most Expensive Plate Numbers in the World"
This was sold to Saeed Abdul Ghaffer Khouri for 52.2 Million Dirhams or around 14.3 Million USD. This is currently the holder for the most expensive plate number sold in history in the Guinness Book of World Records. I say currently, because in a year or so, for sure there will be another plate number to be up for grabs (plate number lower than 1 like maybe number -1? hahaha I have no idea if that's even allowed).
Second on the list is not number 2, but the plate number "5":
This was sold for a not so shabby 22.7 Million Dirhams or around 6.8 Million USD in 2007 to Mr. Khoury (some says he's a close relative of the guy who bought number 1, which makes sense haha). The good thing is that Mr. Khoury says that once he passes, he will have this plate auctioned and the money will go to charity. So that's not so bad :)
