In Abu Dhabi ist ein Auto-Nummernschild f\u00fcr 14 Millionen Dollar versteigert worden. Dies ist nicht nur eine kuriose Geschichte.

\tABU DHABI, (AP)- A license plate with nothing but the number „1“ on it went for a record $14 million at a charity auction Saturday.<\/p>\n

\tSaeed 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.<\/p>\n

\t„I bought it because it’s the best number,“ said Khouri, whose family made its fortune in real estate. „I bought it because I want to be the best in the world.“<\/p>\n

\tThe oil-rich UAE began auctioning off vanity license plates last May.<\/p>\n

\tOrdinary automobile license plates issued to drivers here \u2014 and even most other vanity series plates \u2014 carry both Arabic and Western numerals and script, defining the issuing city and country.<\/p>\n

\tKhouri’s plate, however, has only the Western numeral and no letters.<\/p>\n

\tThe record sale surpassed the $6.8 million that was paid for an Emirati license plate at an earlier auction with the Western number 5 on it \u2014 also without Arabic numerals or letters.<\/p>\n

\tProceeds from the auctions, which are held in a lavish hotel here, go to a rehabilitation center for victims of traffic accidents.<\/p>\n

\tOn 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.<\/p>\n

\tDazu f\u00e4llt mir diese gro\u00dfe Szene ein aus dem Film „Syriana“<\/a>, in dem Matt Damon einem arabischen Prinzen sagt, was er wirklich von ihm h\u00e4lt. Der macht ihn darauf zu seinem Berater:
