    A yacht is not any other way of commutation; rather it’s a magnificent way to show your wealth. One who can afford would certainly look for classiness in mega yacht that fulfills all your desires as you plunge into the harmony of the blue seas. Earlier we have seen many super luxury yachts like Oculus luxury yacht, Annaliesse yacht or some of the most expensive yachts in the world. To add to this outstanding list, Stuart Hughes of Liverpool, U.K. has created world’s most unique yacht History Supreme (Baia 100 Supreme) for an anonymous leading Malaysian businessman.

    This majestic yacht is made of 100,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum and took around three long years to get completed. This 100 ft. beauty features dining area, deck and anchor etc., made using real precious metals. The main sleeping area is kept festooned with platinum accents. The base of the yacht is wrapped with solid gold and the wall feature is specially crafted from meteoric stone along with genuine dinosaur bone shaved in from the raptor T–REX. This super expensive yacht costs £3 billion (about $5 billion).

    Yacht is not the only thing that has been done by Stuart Hughes; he has successfully tried his hands on many expensive things like blinged iPhone, worlds’ most expensive iPhone wallet and the world’s most expensive suit and many more.

    If my yacht doesn't come with meteor stones then I don't fu(king want it!. These yacht makers have to keep up with new trends, and if people want alien rocks and dinosaur bones, then gd'ammit give it to'em.

    Goes to show you how wrong Forbes is. Malaysia's richest man would have had to drop almost half his worth on this thing, and no matter how wealthy you are, that ain't gonna happen. Somebody in Malaysia is SUPER RICH!

    Yeah, good luck selling that to someone because there's such a huge market for 5 billion dollar yachts.
    Wait, what?

    100 ft is nothing compared to most mega yachts. No one would even notice this thing!

    Sounds extremely stupid.

    How much is this guy worth?

    I just can't foresee any scenario where the richest person in the world (Carlos Slim at $55b) would spend $5b or 10% of their total wealth on a yacht.

    Just stupid, especially a gold yacht considering gold is at an all time high of $1,600 an oz.

    Plus for approx 1/5th the price ($1 billion) you could have something about 6-7 times as big.
