Arabs Spending Millions On Car Registration Plates

Abu Dhabi businessman Talal Ali Mohammad Khouri forked out a whopping £6million buying two car registration plates.

In total he spent 36,000,000 Dirhams, paying 25m Dirhams for the single digit plate ’5′ and a more reasonable 11m Dirhams for the number 7.

For these rich Arabs money is no object. Talal’s cousin Saeed Al Khouri paid 8m Dirhams for the number 11 and went wild in February when he paid just under 10 million pounds for the plate, ’1′.
