With prices for low numbered heritage plates well into the six figures and reportedly even seven figures, it’s no surprise that such plates are owned by some seriously wealthy people.

In this list we’ve tried to track down all of the heritage plate owners within the BRW Rich 200 list.

We don’t have too many entries at this stage, but we’re working on it!

All entries on this page are based on information we have found in the media and public domain.
