# YDPA Buys ‘GOLD 1’ License Plate For RM1.5mil, Highest Bid In M’sian History

##### Newly-crowned Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) Sultan Ibrahim recently made history with his latest license plate purchase at a whopping amount of RM1.5 million.

The news was announced by His Majesty in a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/officialsultanibrahim/posts/pfbid02vW5RxsivjcZc2imkVEWYqeweznuTqMfucDEzqpzRg5npF4dS7MoJ18yLdDfz3uKQl) yesterday (Feb 20), where he disclosed that he snagged the license plate by placing the highest bid ever in Malaysian history.

The RM1.5 million bid for the 'GOLD 1' license plate has also officially beaten His Majesty's previous record of RM1.2 million, which was the amount he spent to snag the ['FF1' license plate](https://weirdkaya.com/ff1-number-plate-johor-sultan-rm1-2mil/) last June.

##### The King is widely known for being an avid collector of unique license plates as well as forking out huge amounts of money to secure them.

On May 29, 2012, His Majesty bought the 'WWW1' number plate, where he set the record for the highest bid amount of RM520,000, reported [The Star](https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2012/05/29/johor-sultan-is-owner-of-number-plate-www-1/).

A year later, he purchased the 'F1' number plate for RM836,660 and secured the 'VR46' plate for RM55,002.20 in 2017.
