I lived in Dubai for a year, and number plates were how the "rich" differentiated from the rich. Walking around the Marina, seeing supercars isn't anything special. A Porsche in Dubai is like a Toyota anywhere else.

Standard number plates have 5 digits, but you can get a 4 digit one starting from $10,000 and it goes up from there. A 2 digit plate will sell for a few a million, and 1 digit is reserved for those with plenty of cash and wasta.

Of course the girls are just as vain:
