The amount the unnamed wealthy buyer splashed on the P7 number plate smashes the Dh52 million ($14 million) a collector, Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri, paid to own the ‘1’ registration plate in 2008 during a number plate auction by Emirates Auction Company.

During the auction, the $15 million P7 license plate was affixed to limited-edition Bugatti Divo hypercar worth $5.9 million, though the vanity plate may end up being used by an equally expensive car like the Divo.
