Beautiful license plates have long been a sought-after item. In recent times, many Vietnamese millionaires have surprised people by spending billions, even tens of billions of Vietnamese dong to bid for lucky number plates, such as consecutive numbers or the number sequence “567.89”. A typical example is the Lamborghini Huracan with the license plate of Ho Chi Minh City ending in the number 9, where the price of the license plate alone was 2.74 billion Vietnamese dong.
On January 1st, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan of a Hanoi tycoon appeared on the roads of the capital, surprising many people with its consecutive number plate 55555. This is the most expensive Cullinan in Vietnam at the moment, including the cost of the license plate.
It is estimated that the Hanoi tycoon had to spend no less than 5.5 billion Vietnamese dong to complete the registration process for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan with the consecutive number plate 55555. The post-tax price of the car is rumored to be around 4 billion Vietnamese dong. With that amount, the value of the car is even comparable to the starting price of a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII EWB imported from the official dealer.
Specifically, the license plate 30K-55555 of the car was auctioned for 14.495 billion Vietnamese dong on November 4th, 2023. This license plate had been auctioned for 14.12 billion Vietnamese dong on September 15th, but the buyer did not fulfill the financial obligations, causing the license plate to be returned to the auction company.
The number sequence “55555” is favored by Vietnamese people as it symbolizes blessings and prosperity. It represents the five elements in Vietnamese belief, which are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The number 5 also stands in the middle and is considered the balance number, the pillar.
Many cars with consecutive number plates 55555 were sold at significantly higher prices, such as the Toyota Camry 2022 with the license plate 34A-55555 valued at 3.5 billion Vietnamese dong, and the Hyundai SantaFe 2020 with the license plate 30G-55555 priced at around 3 billion Vietnamese dong,…
