The was built for a Malaysian businessman by British designer Stuart Hughes. It is 30.5m (100ft) long and is claimed to feature around 100,000kg of solid gold and platinum – making it worth a reported £3billion.
Its main sleeping quarter is adorned with platinum accents, including a wall feature made of stone from a meteor - and bone from a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The hull is also wrapped in a thin layer of gold, while precious metals were used to make the deck, dining area, rails and anchor.
The British-designed yacht was made for a mystery Malaysian businessman and designer Stuart Hughes said it took him three years to complete.
The 40-year-old from Liverpool worked on the commission – called The History Supreme – with a team of eight people. ‘It was probably the most mammoth task ever,’ he said. ‘I’ve covered all sorts of things in gold but this has got to be my most ambitious project yet. This will never be topped.’
$5 billion super yacht by Stuart Hughes is fake
Few days ago we were spellbound with the news of super yacht made of pure gold by Stuart Hughes of Liverpool, U.K., known as History Supreme (Baia 100 Supreme) for an anonymous leading Malaysian businessman. But, to our surprise, Baia Yachts of Italy have confirmed that the story about the £3 billion golden super yacht was forged.
Yes, the yacht that was supposed to have 100,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum, and took around three long years to get completed, is a complete fake story. According to the sales manager Mario Borselli at Baia:
“Who would believe that a boat would have 100 tons of gold on board? They took some pictures from our website without our permission. We will write him a letter asking him to take them down, but we are not thinking to go legal. It’s such a stupid story it’s not worth it.â€
According to Stuart Hughes, the yacht was 100 ft. and featured dining area, deck and anchor etc., made using real precious metals and costing around $5 billion that was commissioned by an unidentified leading Malaysian businessman.
After the revelation, Hughes remained unavailable for any sort of comments. Though, we have earlier also told you about Computer Choppers alleging Stuart Hughes of Goldstriker for fraud, and rebranding Computer Choppers custom 24kt Gold-Plated Macbook Air product photos as his own under “Supreme Ice Edition†and “Supreme Fire Edition†Macbook Air.
