8.558 is more the figure....

This has nothing to do with numerology but the Chinese use it because the number 8 sounds like the word wealth when spoken.

In Mandarin, 8 is "Pah". Wealth is "Fah".
In Cantonese, 8 is "Pat", and wealth is "Faaht".

So when one goes to any Chinatown in any western countries you will know why most car licence plates have 8's in them.

But the above spells trouble as the number 5 in mandarin is "Ooo", and in Cantonese is "Mmm". Which basically sounds like the word "Not" which in mandarin is "Pooo", and in Cantonese is almost the same except its "mmmM" in a downturn.

So "58" literally means "Not wealthy, no wealth, no money".

Oh dear...
