Meet the Mythical History Supreme, the World’s Most Expensive Yacht. Photos: Stuart Hughes
The yacht, named History Supreme, is known as the “king of the high seas,” as no other luxury transatlantic ship has come close to its price of £3 billion.
The project was commissioned to the company Stuart Hughes of Liverpool, United Kingdom, for an anonymous Malaysian businessman.
Stuart Hughes is known for his work on other luxury items, like iPhones, which he wraps in expensive metals.
The 100-foot yacht took 3 years to complete, about 100,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum were added to make this a unique project.
All the features including the deck, dining area, railings, anchor, were made from precious metals.
The base of the vessel was wrapped in gold, a thin layer was formed to embrace this huge section.
The master bedroom was adorned with platinum details which included, a wall feature, made from meteorite stone, with genuine dinosaur bone.
The dinosaur bone came from Arizona, USA, where it usually costs about £68,000 for a small piece of thigh bone, but was used to add a very expensive touch to the large project.
Yachts are usually seen as a purchase that only the very rich can dream of, but the History Supreme is out of the price range of most billionaires.
Is the History Supreme a Legend?
The yacht was sold in 2011 to an anonymous businessman who never formally introduced himself to Stuart during the historic sale.
Over the past 12 years, not a single photo of the boat has been taken, making it a mystery where it is and what state it is currently in.
Many were intrigued by the yacht, with some even claiming it is just a made-up story due to the lack of photos taken of it.
There are only four images and the diamond-encrusted rooms and gold coating can only be really seen from a distance.
The other controversy stems from how the ship would function.
A yacht that has to handle 100,000 kg of extra weight will founder in the water, as it will simply be too heavy.
Boat enthusiasts still hope that one day the mythical yacht will reappear and its expensive beauty can be admired and portrayed a bit more.
