ABU DHABI, UAE - A LICENCE plate bearing simply the number '1' fetched what organisers said was a world record US$14 million (S$19.8 million) at a charity auction in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
The price paid by Saeed Abdel Khouri, 25, beat a record set by one of his relatives in September, the organisers said in a statement.
The record has been submitted to the Guinness World Records book, they said.
Proceeds from the auction will fund construction of a specialised emergency hospital in the seven-member United Arab Emirates. -- REUTERS
