Licence plate brings $14m


ABU DHABI, Feb 17: A licence plate bearing simply the number “1” fetched what organisers said was a world record $14 million at a charity auction here on Saturday.

The price paid by Saeed Abdel Khouri, 25, beat a record set by one of his relatives in September, the organisers said in a statement.

The record has been submitted to the Guinness World Records book, they said.

Proceeds from the auction will fund construction of a specialised emergency hospital in the seven-member United Arab Emirates. —Reuters
