Emirates Auction has set a new world record for selling the world's most expensive number plate at the "Most Noble Numbers" charity auction for special vehicle plates.
Plate number P7 was sold for a whopping $15 million, making it the most expensive number plate in the world. The number was sold at the Most Noble Number charity auction, which was held on Saturday April 8, 2023.
The "P - 7" plate number has now broken the previous record set by the Abu Dhabi Plate "5 - 1" plate, also set by Emirates Auction, which was sold for $14 million in 2008.
The auction, organised by Emirates Auction, has raised $26.6 million that will go in full towards supporting the “1 Billion Meals Endowment” campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish the largest Ramadan sustainable food aid endowment fund.
