    Number plate 5 fetched Dh25.2 million at a police auction here on Saturday, becoming the world’s most expensive number plate, according to organizers.

    The first of its kind to be held in Abu Dhabi, the auction was called ‘A Special Number for A Special Cause’ to raise funds for people with special needs.

    The auction was organised by the General Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police in conjunction with the Emirates Auctions Company at Emirates Palace.

    Paid for by us the average American citizen with Oil Money! But it went to a good cause at least. I hope.

    I'm going to laugh when some college kid steals this to hang in his dorm from the guy who bought it. Just think of all the times it will probably get stolen too? So 7million + cost of a lifetime of replacements.

    Wow... but if the bidder is a billionaire, $7 million is nothing for him.
