The world’s most expensive phone number was auctioned for charity yesterday in Qatar for a stupid £1.5 million. The previous record holder was Chinese number 8888 8888, which sold for £270,000. The reason is because the number ‘8’ sounds a lot like the word ‘rich’ in some places in the world.
The number in question, is 666 6666.
Why would anyone want this number? It is the number of the devil (apparently) and will mostly likely bring bad luck to whoever has it. By bad luck I mean people now know their number, so they will probably get hundreds of prank callers a day.
Here are some interesting 666 facts:
- The first Apple Computer sold for $666.66,
- The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is w – so www. shows how evil the internet is.
- And Viagra has a molecular weight of 666.7g/mol.
