It makes sense, really.

If you’re The Status King and have the best of everything, you want, no, you DESERVE to have a license plate that proudly proclaims, you’re #1.

But be prepared - it will probably cost you 10 times the amount of your Enzo Ferrari. To wit:

You expect a motorist to shell out a little extra cash for a vanity license plate.

But nowhere is the craze for a unique plate more intense than in the United Arab Emirates, the oil-rich Persian Gulf nation that holds the world record for the six most expensive plates….

Here, it’s all about how low you can go — with people battling it out at auctions to win the chance to show off license plates with the lowest digit.

The numbers “5″ and “7″ have already been snapped up, sold for 25 million dirhams ($6.75 million) and 11 million dirhams ($2.97 million) respectively.

Next week, the country will put up for auction the mother of all vanity plates: the number “1.” It is expected to immediately set a new record for the most expensive plate in the world…..MORE….

Talk about putting your money where your status is!
