World’s ‘most expensive yacht’ is £4bn gold-plated boat with walls made of T-Rex bones – but no one has EVER seen it
THE world’s most expensive superyacht is a £4billion floating masterpiece with gold-plated sides and walls made of T-Rex bones.
Although the flashy floater is supposedly a jaw-dropping sight it remains shrouded in mystery as no one has ever actually seen it.
Dubbed History Supreme the vessel is covered in 100,000kg of gold and dazzles with jewels – but most don’t even believe it exists.
The railings, decking, dining area and even the base of the boat is all wrapped in gold and even the anchor was specially made to be dipped in liquid gold.
Commissioned by a mysterious Malaysian billionaire and designed by controversial artist Stuart Hughes the brilliant boat also supposedly boasts a more quirky feature.
Inside there is reportedly a statue made from genuine Tyrannosaurus Rex bones with the walls also featuring shavings of the dino bones.
They were allegedly sourced from a skeleton sourced in Arizona, USA. Pieces of the thigh bone alone come in at about £68,000.
Construction reportedly took world-renowned UK designer Stuart Hughes just over three years to complete.
Mr Hughes told news.com.au that he was quite excited when approached by a friend in the yachting circle to design the luxury liner. He had free reign to construct it how he liked.
The History Supreme has been dubbed the “world’s most expensive yacht”, worth £3.6 billion.
Mr Hughes said much of the staggering sum is owed to its gold and dinosaur bone features.
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.
Also on board is a luxury liquor bottle featuring an 18.5 carat diamond, one of the world’s rarest, along with a panoramic wall aquarium made from 68kg of 24 carat gold.
Some of other on-board features include an iPhone wrapped in 500 cut diamonds including two interchangeable diamonds fitted over the “home button”, a 7.4 carat pink diamond and a rare eight carat diamond.
Mr Hughes has spoken about his work on History Supreme numerous times, and, even though he never revealed who the buyer was, he hinted at Robert Kuok.
Kuok is the richest man in Malaysia and the second-richest in Southeast Asia.
He has a net worth of£8billion but in 2011 Forbes estimated his fortune was around £9.5billion.
Since the boat’s supposed creation the History Supreme has remained “king bling of the high seas” with no other luxury liner reported to have exceeded its mammoth price tag.
The second reported “world’s most expensive yacht” belongs to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
His £1billion luxury liner Eclipse, has its own missile defence system and a submarine.
There are 24 guest cabins, two swimming pools, hot tubs, a sauna, and even a nightclub.
It also boasts a cinema, conference room, children’s playroom and a hair salon.
