It is the world's most expensive plate. The plate had the letter and number P7 it. The previous highest price was also set the UAE. That was in 2008, when someone paid $14.3 million a license plate the number "one" on it. It is not known who broke the record earlier this week. However, locals say it might be difficult the person's identity to remain a secret. The sale is big news in Dubai, so many drivers will be aware the P7 plate.
The money the record-breaking license plate will help poor people worldwide. The cash will go to a charity called the One Billion Meals Endowment. This charity was set by Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid. It brings food hungry people all around the world. The auction house told reporters it was happy the sale.
