"In Hong Kong, a personal license plate with the number eight can cost millions of dollars," says Alhambra, California developer Raymond Cheng, who was born and reared in the British colony. "A single eight on your license plate gives you status. People know you have to pay top dollars for it."

888 is the luckiest/ most sought after combo.

I was in HK, I think it was in the late eighties (when else ), when the number plate HK888 sold for around $100,000, now they pay that for a parking space!

444 is generally a no no as 4 in Chinese sounds like death- I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong!
