Heard about that on the news. Pretty insane. People just have TOO MUCH money!

On the plus side it looks like the money is going to charity, so its not all bad news.

They believe that the lower number on your license plate, the higher status you have in society

I guess he didn't get it!

People really don't understand just how much money people in the Middle East really have. Unless you have been there, you really don't know what real rich is. Not wealth, not american rich - but RICH. Beyond rich. Money isn't even a concern here.

Don't give people the wrong image, this is god damn Dubai, richest town in the world, it's basically made of people selling oil..

So? the government will just issue a new 1, no one will buy it since it can't be used, it's still under his name..
