That plate was the very desirable FERRARI. As around 60-65% of the price of each plate goes to the state, it was a great day for Texas funds too. Charities also benefited as over $25,000 was donated to various local good causes. Other pricey plates sold in the auction were ROCKETS which was the second highest value plate of the sale which went for $16,500 and BENTLEY which raised $10,000 and was sold to an online bidder.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the ROCKETS plate also spent $4250 on TEXAN5, $2750 on INDY CAR and $1750 on MAYBACH. The winner, Tony Gullo from Houston said that he&#8217;ll keep the plates in his family forever, ensuring that his children and grandchildren would get to enjoy them too.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eschipul\/419796506\/\">eschipul<\/a>\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/foter.com\/\">Foter.com<\/a>\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\">CC BY-SA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The most expensive number plates ever sold in the state of Texas in the USA was sold this month.
