Balwinder Sahni with his cars and expensive license plates
Yes, Dubai property developer Balwinder Sahni wanted a highly coveted plate bearing the number 5 so much that he bid 33 million dirhams ($9 million) for it at a government auction last month. And if you thought that is the most expensive yet, you’d be wrong!
It was one of the largest sums ever spent on a license plate, although still lower than the $14 million record set in 2008 by an Abu Dhabi businessman.
According to CNNMoney, the single-digit plates now adorn two of his six Rolls Royce cars.
It’s also not the first time Sahni has spent serious money on a license plate. He secured a No. 9 plate with a winning bid of 24.5 million dirhams ($6.7 million) at a government auction last year.
