Saeed Abdul Ghaffer Khouri surpassed the record which was made earlier by Talal Khoury by buying the number plate with the sole digit “1” from an auction held at Abu Dhabi.

He said that he bought it because “1” is the best number but did not reveal which of his cars would have the number plate.
2. “5” - £3.5 Million
Talal Ali Mohammed Khoury created a record when he paid a sky rocket price for buying the number plate with the digit “5” making it the second most expensive plate ever bought.
