| This is where your gas money goes. So rich Arabs can buy vanity license plates. '1' license plate fetches $14 million - CNN.com ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- A license plate with nothing but the number "1" on it went for a record $14 million at a charity auction Saturday. Saeed Khouri, a member of a wealthy Abu Dhabi family, wouldn't say how many automobiles he owned or which of them might carry the record-breaking single-digit plate. The oil-rich UAE began auctioning off vanity license plates last May. Ordinary automobile license plates issued to drivers here -- and even most other vanity series plates -- carry both Arabic and Western numerals and script, defining the issuing city and country. Proceeds from the auctions, which are held in a lavish hotel here, go to a rehabilitation center for victims of traffic accidents. On Saturday, 90 license plates were auctioned off in all, raising a total of $24 million. The previous five such events raised more than $50 million.
