DUBAI, Apr 10 (Bloomberg): A wealthy bidder has splashed out a world-record 55 million dirhams (US$15 million-RM66.16 million) for a rare car license plate in Dubai, smashing a bar set in the United Arab Emirates more than a decade ago.
Emirates Auction LLC sold plate number P 7 - which, at first glance, looks like the number 7 alone, with the P off to the side - on Saturday during a charity auction, according to the company. Proceeds will go to Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s global food aid initiative, the 1 Billion Meals Endowment.
