He’s Got A Lot On His Plate
A license plate with nothing but the number "1" on it went for a record $13.5 million at a charity auction in the United Arab Emirates on the weekend. Saeed Khouri said: “I bought it because it's the best number. I bought it because I want to be the best in the world." The record sale surpassed the $6.8 million that was paid for an Emirati licence plate at an earlier auction with the number "5" on it.
FOOTNOTE: Number one on the hit parade.

That man must have had a very sad childhood or something, needing that kind of validation.
cool pic!
omg, 6.8 mil? that is completely nuts.....
oops I meant 6.8 is nuts but 13.5 mil is wayyyyyyy out there!
I cannot type or think today...
Frankly I'd prefer the number 7!
I'll have a number 3. A big strange to spend all that money on a number one, perhaps he thinks he is so incredibly important!

Well. At least it was for charity, right?
ugh. ridiculous! think what that $13 million could do for some good cause.
I have heard of big egos before, but this is the winner - definitely a case of more money than brains
Amazing. I can't even begin to fathom that.
What on earth was going through that man's head? He must have serious self-confidence issues.
Someone obviously has more money than sense. :O
