$4.5 billion gold-plated super-yacht the History Supreme brings bling to the high seas | News.com.au
A gold-plated super-yacht worth a staggering £3 billion ($4.5 billion) has claimed the title of the most expensive in the world. The 30-metre long History Supreme yacht is adorned with 100,000 kilograms of gold that covers more than half its surface and even comes with a statue made from the bone of a T-Rex dinosaur.
The base of the yacht as well as the deck, dining areas, rails and anchor are wrapped in solid gold and the sleeping areas are covered in platinum. There is also a wall feature in the master bedroom that is made from meteoric stone and an aquarium made from 68kg of 24 carat gold that cost $4.5 million. Also on board is a luxury liquor bottle featuring an 18.5ct diamond, one of the world’s rarest.
Designed by UK jeweller Stuart Hughes, the “mammoth” project took over three years to complete. The vessel even outshines Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s $450m yacht Eclipse, which has its own missile defence system and a submarine. The History Supreme was completed in Malaysia two weeks ago for an anonymous businessman.
