This man paid Sh900million for a custom number plate

To pay for a customized number plate in Kenya, one has to part with Sh1million.

But it appears there is a multi-millionaire from the UAE, who has no problem paying Sh900million for his vehicles to have customized plates.

According to CNN, Dubai property developer Balwinder Sahni has been after a number plate bearing the number 5. He was willing to get it at all costs that paying 9 million dollars was no big deal to him.

The number plate is adorned on his six Rolls Royce's.

He got it a t a government auction.

In Kenya, we have a couple of Kenyans with personal number plates.

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, Businessman Chris Kirubi, controversial lawyer Donald Kipkorir, McDonald Mariga and Victor Wanyama have stunned Kenyans with such a move.

You can spot these vehicles around Nairobi, and the Dubai businessman has also landed national attention in his country, as the vehicles move around.

The Dubai businessman explains his huge spending habit by saying;

“It’s hard, people giving comments without knowing the type of person I am,” Sahni told CNNMoney. He described himself as “a simple man.”

It’s also not the first time Sahni has spent serious money on a license plate. He secured a No. 9 plate with a winning bid of 24.5 million dirhams ($6.7 million) at a government auction last year.

“I believe in giving back,” he said. “This city has given me a lot.”
