Dubai driver drops nearly $15 million on most expensive license plate ever
May 9, 2023 | Guinness World Records
Known as one of the most lavish and exotic cities in the world, Dubai is home to hundreds of record-breaking achievements in every sector you can think of!
Ranging from the tallest building to the deepest swimming pool for diving, Dubai is home to many superlatives.
And now, it's added the most expensive car registration in the world to the list.
The plate number “P-7” was bought for a whopping $14.97 million (AED 55 million, £12.04m) during an auction.
The auction, held at Four Seasons Hotel Jumeirah, was for charity and was held by Emirates Auction.
Proceeds from the sale went to One Billion Meals, a campaign by the ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to help vulnerable people around the world during the holy month of Ramadan.
Multiple license plates were auctioned that night with others selling for between AED 140,000 ($38,000; £30,557) and AED 2,950,000 ($800,000; £643,885).
