Today, the auction platform Ali launched the previously announced sale of the mobile phone number 15666666666, which the organizers described as a “super nice trick” and is considered the “most successful number in China”.

The auction was launched with a starting price of around $2 million ($1,911 million to be as precise as possible) and a bid of $7,000. As mydrivers wrote, it’s been about 5 hours since the auction started, it’s watched by about 60,000 people, but no one has attended the auction yet.

According to the official statement, the number has no hidden restrictions and can be transferred, that is, used normally after redemption. The figure also includes an account balance of $55,000, which the new buyer must pay off separately.

There is also a 1% software fee and a commission of 5% of the final amount if the auction is successful. So even for the minimum bid you will have to pay about $2.07 million.
