It's CNN, who cares? I no longer believe anything that they have to say.

I couldn't agree more. CNN has zero credibility.

@AutoMechanic, were you the winning bidder?

Here it is from Fox for the no CNN crowd:

There are times to worry about sources, and then other times, we look for things to be offended/outraged/dismissive of...

The way I heard it, number tags in England are linked to the car, not the driver.

Ergo, the first plates, like 1, 2, 3 etc., are well above unicorn status.

I've seen the small ads for such plates which appear in newspapers daily.

What's incredible about this? Rich guy strokes ego and donates to charity. Everybody wins.

What happened? I have always thought they to be a very credible source. Not like they're the National Enquirer!

I remember an article a few years back a 90s Volvo wagon was being sold for way, way more than it was worth because it had the registered NY license plate that spelt out “NEW YORK”. I don’t know if anyone bought it.

Actually, I'd put more credibility in the National Enquirer.
Here's the most important thing to remember: After 7:00 PM, ALL prime time "news organizations" cater to their viewers. And whatever the subject, they have a few "experts" spouting their opinions just to get ratings. If the news is against the political views of their listeners, it doesn't get reported or they put a spin on it and the news is reported in their favor. CNN is just the worst. I haven't watched any "news programs" during prime time for several years and it truly is a breath of fresh air.

The oil companies in the UAE make $100's of millions of dollar a day, $15mm for a license plate is a drop in the bucket.

I'd pay a premium for this license plate though:
