Rrahul Tanejaa, 37, owner of an event management company, has broken a record by paying the highest amount for procuring a premium registration number for his Jaguar car.

As has been confirmed by officials at Jaipur Transport Department, Tanejaa spent Rs 16 lakhs for car registration number RJ 45 CG 0001 which is the highest anyone has paid for a premium registration number to date in the state. Tanejaa bought his Rs 1.5 crore Jaguar in March but waited patiently for 6 weeks before he could get this particular number plate ending with 0001.

Not just this particular Jaguar car, but every car in the possession of Tanejaa sports 0001 registration number plate. His fetish for this particular number is not just limited to his cars as even his mobile phone has five 1’s in it.

Tanejaa is the owner of many luxury cars and has spent lakhs of rupees over the years in procuring fancy number plates all of which have the digits 0001. These luxury cars include a BMW 5 Series purchased in 2011 for which he paid an additional INR 10.31 lakhs for number plate RJ 14 CP 0001. The second hand Skoda Laura was purchased just because it sported a number plate RJ 20 CB 0001.

This fetish does not only extend to cars and mobile phones but he even bought a second hand scooter just because its numbers added up to 1. The number was RJ 14 23M 2323 with 2+3+2+3 = 10 = 1.

Tanejaa explains this fetish with number 1. His life has not always been a smooth journey. He stared off with no money, his father was working at a tyre puncture shop. From an early age, Tanejaa had to do all sorts of odd jobs – selling kites, rakhi and holi colors and has even driven an autorickshaw at night to evade being caught by the cops as he did not have a driving license. Now that he has made his money he wishes to flaunt it and strongly believes in the number 1.

So what are the top selling number plates in the UK? The DVLA has been selling private plates to UK motorists since 1989. During this time, there have been a number of records set, but most of the top 10 have been bought in the past 15 years. Here’s what currently makes the list:

25 0 – A Ferrari dealer bought this for £518k in 2014. It is now on a £10 million Ferrari 250 SWB.
F 1 – A businessman, Afzal Khan, bought this for £440k in 2008 and put it on his McLaren-Mercedes SLR.
S 1 – This was bought in 2008 for £404k by an anonymous buyer.
1 D – Businessman Nabil Bishara bought this plate in 2009 (before One Direction was formed, so it is not a reference to the band) for £352k.
M 1 – Businessman Mike McCoomb bought this number plate in 2006 for £331k, apparently for his son, who was 10 at the time.
VIP 1 – Chelsea owner and businessman Roman Abramovich bought this plate for £285k in 2006.
51 NGH – This number plate, which looks like the surname Singh, was sold in 2006 for £254k.
1 RH – Businessman Robert Haverson bought this in 2006 for £247k.
K1 NGS – This reg plate, which looks like the word “kings”, was bought anonymously in 1993 for £231k.
1 0 – This very simple but striking number plate was bought anonymously in 2009 for £170k.

These are large amounts of money, but they are all small compared to the top-selling number plates found in other parts of the world. Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, has the record for the most expensive number plate ever sold. That number plate was a simple “1”. It was bought in 2008 by businessman Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri for £7.25 million.
