Your Plush mistress has come across some online luxury websites that are agog with recent news about Middle Eastern car buyers.

Proving that money is no object, one Middle Eastern car-lover is said to have bought 10 Aston Martin One-77s valued at US$1.4 million ($1.97 million) a piece.

Why 10? The generous Arab wants to give the cars to his family members.

To ship the cars out to his desert domain, the batch cost comes to a pretty US$23 million bill.

Only 77 of these beauties are going to be made.

And cars aren't the only things the Middle Easterners seem to splurge on.

Over in Abu Dhabi, a number-plate bearing solely the digit ‘7’ was sold for 17 million dirhams ($6.5 million), making it the third most expensive plate ever - the top two were also previously sold in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Default plate digits are five in the UAE, making it the lesser the number, the more desireable.

How's that for money spent?
