Back in 2007 the United Arab Emirates held a  license plate auction and there were some really expensive license plates sold.

For reference: United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) = $.27 USD.

Plate #55555 sold for 2 million dirhams.

Plate #12 sold for 8.9 million dirhams.

Plate #5 sold for 25.2 million dirhams or $6.8 million (the most expensive license plate at the time).

In 2008 the United Arab Emirates held another  license plate auction, this time plate #1 was up for grabs.

The license plate was purchased by Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri for a sandy $14.3 million USD.

What do you buy when you’re the richest man in Russia? Well, Roman Abramovich bought the Chelsea football club, then he went and bought the Eclipse, the world’s most expensive yacht.

The Eclipse took 4 years to build and was designed by Hermidas Atabeyki with naval designed by Bloom&Voss and Terence Disdale, and interior design by Terence Disdale and Greenline Yacht.

Here is a list of features of the Eclipse:

• 167 meters or 557 feet long.
• 6,000 square metres of living space.
• 9 decks.
• Elevator.
• 11 guest cabins including 2 VIP suites.
• Housing for up to 80 crew members.
• 2 helicopter landing pads.
• 2 swimming pools, one of which is the world’s largest onboard swimming pool.
• A fitness studio, hairdresser, sauna, steambath and whirlpool.
• A small theater, library, restaurant, and small private garden on the deck.
• A submarine.
• An anti rocket systems for preventing terrorist attacks and is fully bullet-proof.
• 20 jet-skis stored inside the ship.

To run the yacht, one day at sea costs €80,000 or $98,640.00, but that’s nothing compared to the salty €500 million or $616.5  million USD that Roman Abramovich paid for the Eclipse.

Back in 1983 Walter Grüter started GG Technik for reselling and servicing European makes of motorcycle. Eleven years later Walter decided to try to build something himself and the result was the GG duetto.
