I just wanted to write that out to see how big it sounds. OK no wait...let me put it in figures. 50,000,000 AED. WHOOSH!!!!
That's the big number of the day today. Some 25 year old Shaikh in Abu Dhabi bought a NUMBER PLATE...yes guys a NUMBER PLATE....with "1" written on it. Its a fad here, buying unique number plates. The less digits there are, the more expensive it is. 50 million dirhams!!! I just cant get over it.
Just to add, he broke the record of his cousin which was for 25 Million Dirhams spent on a number plate having the No. 5 on it a few months back. Where do they get this money to burn from? Then they raise our rents and make a bit more.
That was an Abu Dhabi record. Just a few weeks back the No.1 plate in Dubai went for 30 Million AED. I thought that was it, nobody could beat that. I was completely proved wrong. I should never estimate the buying power of Shaikhs.
Where I have written stuff like the 1 dollar story, I can still do a lot with a 50 million AED. I wonder whether if its even possible in this life. Hehehe...50,000,000 AED!!! Man...!!!
UTP Ada..i hav this business proposal for u...ahem ahem...I'll get such single number number plates made from Shershah here and courier them to u......then u can sell them there for 50,000,000 AED each or perhaps more.....fifty fifty karainge :P
ReplyDeleteWe also have a shaikho called ali raza, he can challenge such shaikhs and I hope that he will also buy meaningful stuff not like AE shaiks.
