And he wants to spend 3 times as much for the "1" plate too. Incidentally he'd like to thank SUV drivers for making his dreams possible...

Big goddamn deal. You can lose faith in humanity if a regular person blew their life's savings on such nonsense, but odds are, that this wasn't that big an investment for him.

1. Kill it with fire.

2. Steal license plate.

3. Profit.

Mmmm old new.

It would have been a more interesting article if it had been about how rich people in UAE compete to have the lowest number license plate.

In other news, millions of people have died from malnourishment.
But hey, at least he has that numberplate.

You should have seen how much he paid for his gold, diamond-encrusted bidet.

License plate reads "5"

This the fifth time he's paid 6.75 mil on a plate?

Stupid, yes, but he wants to piss away his money on this it's his problem

/misuse of the sick tag though

We should have bombed these assholes instead...just for their absolute douchebaggery.

The money supposedly goes to a govt. run charity, so there is a 1 in 100 chance that the money is actually going to do some good to benifit some of the areas less fortunate.

1 in 100? Why so high?

for all the indignant posturing, for that amount of money most farkers would blow this guy and swallow

illustri: for all the indignant posturing, for that amount of money most farkers would blow this guy and swallow

As a farker who blew this guy and swallowed for 6.75 million, Iam getting a kick out of these replies

Eh, this type of sale was common in Illinois - except the price paid for low number plates went to the campaign fund for our last crook governor (George Ryan).

It's common knowledge here that specific vanity plates were given out for political favors. My favorite plate is the one on Jim Edgar's (former governor, and a good one too) Lincoln Town Car. He's just got "E" on his license plate.

"ASSMAN"?

UAE airlines kicks ass.

Hell, throw in a nice dinner, and I'll freaking gargle.

Anyone wonder who will be running/owning the globe in the near future? These people are making more money than ever imaginable from our own pockets. We need oil/gas and they have it. No matter what you hear, they are in control of pricing and right now they are taking us for all they can(and they know it!!!).

Once they drain us of enough $$ they will buy as much of our assets as possible and sit back and laugh. This is just a small example of how much money they all have and it means nothing to them.

They are stacking all there cards now and it scares the fark out of me !!
Why does our government not see this and take action (I know, I know!!!).

genki831: It would have been a more interesting article if it had been about how rich people in UAE compete to have the lowest number license plate.

I heard that it was that only the royal family can have singled digit license plates.

Today I was arrested for scalping low numbers at the deli.

T.M.S.: UAE airlines kicks ass.

Too cheap to fly Emirates, I see...

As for the license plate, it's a stupid way to blow that much cash but it's his money and he's free to do as he pleases. Oh, and, and at least he's not using that money for "destructive purposes".

T.M.S.: UAE airlines kicks ass.

I'm an asshat, my apologies - I misread your post... I once had an entire suitcase of belongings ruined because some moron's curry spilled into it - have flown Emirates since and never regretted that decision. Sorry again for being a moron.

/drops and shakes head, walks away

Its his money,wouldnt you like to have #1? yeah sure you would.

My license plate says "L337". Suck it, you sausage-fingered rubes.

ErnieBert: No matter what you hear, they are in control of pricing and right now they are taking us for all they can(and they know it!!!).

The UAE is only the 8th largest producer of oil in the world as a whole. And if you look at the various emirates their oil production and net economic benefit varies a lot. In Dubai they make next to nothing from oil now. Think they care what oil prices do? Hell no. Now ovre in Abu Dhabi, things are different but changing as well.

They are stacking all there cards now and it scares the fark out of me !!

Umm the UAE isn't even on the list of the top 15 exporters of oil to the US. We get more oil from Chad, of all places, than we do the UAE. Nevermind Canada and Mexico produce more oil. And on the world level Norway exports just about or slightly more oil.

What is this shiat! The screw holes, they do not match the pre-drilled holes in my bumper. Where is my cursed tool kit. God, its hot out here. Ack, look at the spot I have on my knee, now. Drat, that will never come out of linen. Son of the biatches! Now I have bent it. I cannot have a bent number five livense plate, Omar will laugh when he sees it. Allah is truly wicked. I do not care who hears me biatch! Get back in the palace before I slap your wretched face, I've never liked you.

don't hate so much. he paid millions for a piece of metal, others may 10 times more for paint on canvas. really rich people spend money in dumb ways. always have and always will.


/jealous

So he spent almost 7 million to tell the world how rich he is?

retarded: My license plate says "L337". Suck it, you sausage-fingered rubes.

I bid 6.5 mil and this jagoff sniped me!

you have won over 9000 internets

Narcissistic would be an understatement.


Here's an excellent read on psychopolitical analysis of terrorism (new tab), not saying UAE breeds that sort of thing or anything, but key ingredients are immaturity and narcissism. Includes Bin Laden and Zawahiri homo-erotic pedophilia goodness.

clevershark: And he wants to spend 3 times as much for the "1" plate too. Incidentally he'd like to thank SUV drivers for making his dreams possible...

Or, he's just giving more money back to his government as a special tax sultan father.

For that kind of money, he could fark me through every orifice I've got.

Being from the UAE, however, I suspect I'm too liberated for him, however, being that I like to wear pants, go barefoot, and wear rings in body parts not allowed by the Koran.

Aye Carumba: re: terrorism -- key ingredients are immaturity and narcissism

This!

Good for them.
I'm getting ready to buy another electric car.
And I don't need oil to charge it.
suck it arabs.

To the red staters saying "It's his money, he's free to spend it as he wishes," you are missing NUMEROUS unstated premises.

(I'm sorry I'm using polysyllable words you may not understand.)

just another reason to stop buying gas

This story is brought to you by the number "5" and the letters "C" and "N".

It's not news, but it certainly is educational.

ianjames: The money supposedly goes to a govt. run charity, so there is a 1 in 100 chance that the money is actually going to do some good to benifit some of the areas less fortunate.

You think any of it will go towards the legal defence of that poor guy who they threw in jail over a microscopic grain of weed stuck to the bottom of his show?

brantgoose: This story is brought to you by the number "5" and the letters "C" and "N".

Also the letters "U" and "T".

The bottom of his *shoe*. Yeah, we think we're being so clever and then go and hit the submit button before reading the post properly.. bugger.

theoutlaw: In other news, millions of people have died from malnourishment.
But hey, at least he has that numberplate.

So let me get this straight...

1. Man spends 6.5million on a license plate.
2. License plate company gets money
3. Pays employees
4. Boss pockets large chunk
5. Splurges on something equally stupid...
6. those people profit...

and he is making babies in Africa starve? WTF u think the diamonds for the plate came from? he is bringing employment to those malnourished people!

Greeds a biatch.
