About the pink Rolls Royce: "The most notable Roller in the SAR is a hard-to-overlook hot pink number, with the license plate ?DEBORAH.? The owner? That would be model agency owner Deborah Valdez-Hung, wife of tycoon Stephen Hung: the very man who put in an order with the UK luxury car company for 30 Rolls-Royce Phantom cars. Doesn?t sound like all that much? Well, it happens to be the largest single order in the company?s history. It?s more than double the previous largest-ever order, the Hong Kong Peninsula hotel?s fleet of 14 cars, ordered in 2006. The cars are bound for Macau, and Hung?s uber-luxury Louis XIII hotel and casino. The resort, slated to open in 2016, will be able to chauffeur its guests around in nouveau-riche extravagance.?
