History Supreme yacht

Recent News: We’ve seen some opulent yachts, but the 100-foot History Supreme takes the gold-encrusted cake. Stuart Hughes, a British purveyor of luxury gadgets, took a break from his role as an iPad alchemist to create the $4.8 billion superyacht, covered in platinum and gold from bow to stern. Purchased by an anonymous Malaysian businessman, History Supreme is the most expensive yacht ever sold, according to Luxury Launches. The Daily Mail reports that the impressive vessel took three years to complete and used over a staggering 220,462 pounds of precious metals. Everything – from the base of the boat, to the deck, dining area, rails and anchor – were decked out in gold and platinum. The exorbitant price tag is also the result of the lavish master bedroom, adorned in platinum with a wall feature that is made from meteoric stone and a genuine T-Rex dinosaur bone. It is rumored that Robert Kuok purchased the superyacht, worth 10 times the amount Roman Abramovitch (previous title holder for world’s most expensive yacht) paid for the Eclipse megayacht. Kuok is one of only three Malaysians with a net worth of $5 billion or more, according to Forbes billionaire’s list. If the purchase price is accurate, “the most likely buyer is Robert Kuok, the richest man in Malaysia, with a net worth of $12.5 billion,” reports Business Insider. The 4,000-foot-long vessel is said to be the largest yacht ever built, and is capable of carrying 50 guests. It is also said to be the fastest yacht in the world, with a top speed of 55 knots. The yacht is also equipped with a 24-hour butler service, a spa, a gym, a cinema, a swimming pool, and a helicopter pad.
