Car Plate Evidence Show Rich Types Trump Creative Types

When Hong Kong launched the terrible scheme of auctioning personalised car number plates five years ago, little did people realise that Henry Tang was just pandering to his rich society type buddies. Eventually, people realised that no matter how many imaginative and clever personalised car plates creative types could produce, their efforts would always be trumped by the highest bidder. The scheme merely confirmed society's mindset that "Money Talks and to Hell with Intellectual Property and Creative Types".

The following list of the most expensive car plates in Britain and in the World clearly show that rich types are unimaginative and uncreative ... and that they don't care because money talks.
