Vanity plate sells for world record-setting $15M in Dubai

A custom license plate in Dubai sold at auction earlier this month for a world record-setting $15 million, according to the auction house.

Emirates Auction, a Dubai-based auction house that sells luxury vehicles and properties, announced that it had sold “the most expensive [license plate] number in the world” at a charity auction on April 8.

The license plate features just two characters — the letter “P” and the number “7,” according to the auction house.

Emirates Auction released a photo of the plate attached to a white Bugatti with blue accents.

The auction house claimed that the plate sets a new Guinness World Record, however the organization has yet to confirm.

“The Most Noble Numbers charity auction has once again demonstrated the remarkable generosity of the UAE community in supporting charitable causes,” said Omar Matar Almannaei, the executive director of Emirates Auction, in a statement.

The previous record for the most expensive car registration was held by a Abu Dhabi license plate that cost over $14.2 million that was sold at an Emirates Auction event in 2008, according to Guinness.

That plate included a single digit, “1.”
