The UAE is one country where residents love to flaunt their number plates. Previous statistics show that UAE residents are the biggest spenders in the world when it comes to buying exceptional or rare registration plates.

According to the UK’s Regtransfer website, which monitors the amount of money being spent on car registrations across the world, the UAE holds the world record for the most expensive number plate ever auctioned – Plate No. 1, was auctioned for a staggering Dh52.5 million in Abu Dhabi in February 2008 as part of Emirates Auctions’ charity drive, which sold 90 number plates in a series of auctions to raise Dh88.15 million ($24m) for accident victims.

But that isn’t all – the UAE also holds the world record for the second most expensive plate (Dh25.2m), the third most expensive (Dh16.5m), the fourth most expensive plate (Dh11.4m) and also the fifth most expensive number plate ever auctioned (Dh10m), squaring off the world’s top 5 most expensive number plates.
