Surely however much money you have this is never impressing anyone. In a way I doubt very affluent people would ever want to draw attention to themselves but maybe it the fringe money people see personalised number plates as a badge of distinction.
I particularly like the ones where you have to squint and be blindfolded from 300 yds to work out the connection to the owners surname. They just ooze class.

GB 1 Was owned by a buisness man I once new who had a number of cosmetic warehouses in Lancashire. Lived at Brindle near Chorley and paid £50,000 for the plate back in the 1980s.
Must be 2o years since I last met him. Perhaps a gonner now and family have sold it on.

Seen Chris Dawson of The Range twice driving his Bentley DEll 8OY. True story, he went into his Torquay store and ordered the waiter in the cafe to pick up all the unused salt and sugar sachets on the tables and reuse them! This is how these people get as rich as they do!

Max Bygraves, entertainer, sold his beloved MB 1 to Registration Transfers, along with the Rolls Royce it has been on for many years.
Born on 16th October 1922, Bygraves is remembered by many for the famous radio programme Educating Archie and for TV's Singalongamax and Family Fortunes.
He holds the record for artists appearing at the Royal Variety Performance. He reputably refused up to £50,000 from Mercedes Benz for his private number plates.
Must of read it in the sun

Once in an concession get together involving various company hierarchy we all ordered some quick lunch from the local bakery , all had different things and Selwyn ordered a pie , when his pie arrived a bit of pastry had flaked off the rim so he went nuts , ordered his gopher back to the bakery to buy the entire tray of pies his was selected from including the tray , proceeded to choose a fresh pie then stuck his finger inside every other pie on the tray.
Wouldn't call it normal behaviour
Selwyn a tad eccentric to say the least..Once in an concession get together involving various company hierarchy we all ordered some quick lunch from the local bakery , all had different things and Selwyn ordered a pie , when his pie arrived a bit of

My mate says his missus offered to buy him the K13RAN number plate, or some fancy music system for his car (late 90’s probably). He chose the music system. Ten years ago he seemed to think the number plate was worth around £30k, while the music system was scrapped years later.

I knew an italian restuarant owner who had a white Fiat with a green and red stripe runinng over it and the plate GO 17 ALY which was rather clever.
Best picture I've seen of one (probably not real) was BJ 69 KFC
I sold 8522 ED for 130 quid in 1976 and the car had only cost me £60 to buy. I then had registration documents sent to me by DVLA with a Mercedes with that number plate... I wrote back to them and said thanks for the document, please forward me the car!

The ones that make me smile the most are the really obscure ones that you have no idea what they're referring to until you read the driver's name in small letters at the bottom of the plate. Ah, so THAT'S what it's meant to be, you insignificant, insecure person!

Many, many years ago, I worked for a gentleman who owned registration number K1 which was used on his own personal vehicle. One day he asked me to go on an errand for him but my own vehicle was in for service so he threw me the keys of K1 and off I went. My destination was some 20 miles away and throughout the journey I was subjected to constant inspection by other drivers, particularly when stopped at traffic lights. The most disturbing part of the whole return journey was the fact that I was pulled over no less than 3 times by a police patrol vehicle and subjected each time to a thorough interrogation. Since that time never felt the need to have a personalised plate. Must say the gentleman owning the number was just that, a gentleman.
