A custom vehicle number plates auction by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) raised a staggering AED 15.3 million, with a number plate ‘V 12’ fetching AED 7 million.
AED 7 million for a Dubai number plate
Picture this: you’re rolling in a convertible Rolls Royce Phantom worth AED 1.5 million to your villa in Jumeriah Islands worth AED 5 million, leading a lavish lifestyle and still saving hundreds of thousand dirhams. Would you give it up for a unique motor number plate? Chances are you would deny the offer unless you’re a high roller at RTA Dubai’s recent auction, which sold a double-digit ‘V 12’ number plate for AED 7 million!
Most expensive Dubai number plate sold for AED 33 million
If the AED 7 million price tag comes as a shocker, you’d be surprised to know a Dubai-based businessman purchased a number plate ‘D 5’ for a record-smashing AED 33 million!
Property developer Balwinder Sahni made the final bid for the single-digit number plate, installing it on his pearl white Rolls-Royce Phantom.
As if AED 33 million isn’t enough for one number plate, Sahni purchased another number plate, ‘O-9’ for AED 25 million.
