With a value of up to $ 4.8 billion, up to now, around the superyacht inlaid with hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gold is still a controversial mystery.
Super controversial product in the history of maritime industry
In the history of the maritime industry, the History Supreme superyacht is not only shocking in terms of the value or amount of gold used, but also because of the many mysteries surrounding it, creating a lot of controversy.
Controversial truth of superyacht inlaid with 100,000 kg of gold or a hoax?
According to the description, the superyacht is covered with 100,000kg of gold, platinum, precious jewelry and a wall made of meteorite with Tyrannosaurus Rex bones.
It is known that this expensive wall is located in the master bedroom, with “genuine goods” taken from Arizona, USA. The femur alone of the Tyrannosaurus rex cost $83,000.

The famous British designer Stuart Hughes is the “father” of creating many of the most expensive super products. It took him more than 3 years to complete this “monumental” work.
Hughes said, with the amount of $ 4.8 billion, most poured into the gold and dinosaur bones mentioned above. Particularly the hull, deck area, dining area, anchors are all covered with solid gold. Meanwhile, the sleeping area is covered in platinum.
But that is not enough to see all the luxury to the luxury of this super product. History Supreme also has a 68kg Aquavista Panoramic Wall aquarium wrapped in 24-carat gold and a luxury wine bottle set with 18.5-carat diamonds – one of the rarest in the world.
To the unsolved mysteries
And of course, the price of $ 4.8 billion is an “unbelievable” number. Not many people in the world can afford it.

Hughes and the design unit in the UK said that the superyacht was ordered by a Malaysian businessman.
This story was quickly picked up by the world’s media. According to the press, the Malaysian businessman bought it in 2011 but Hughes has never met this person and it is not clear if the mysterious buyer still has this luxury boat.
According to Atlantic Yacht and Ship, the mysterious buyer’s identity could be Robert Kuok – Malaysia’s richest man. The businessman owns Wilmar International, the world’s largest palm oil company, and is the founder of the Shangri-La hotel and resort chain.
But the mystery is, people have never seen this superyacht in real life. The press has not yet captured images of it moored in the harbors where the super rich have appeared.
Business Insider reports that businessman Kobert Kuok has a net worth of up to 12.5 billion USD, but has renovated his mansion in Hong Kong (China) to avoid flaunting his wealth.
This is not the behavior of someone willing to spend $4.8 billion on a super expensive yacht. Although he is the richest of the 3 billionaires with a net worth of over 5 billion USD in Malaysia, the author of the article still thinks that the figure of 4.8 billion USD for a yacht is “very disparate”.
That’s why this story is so controversial. There is an outspoken opinion that History Supreme is one of the greatest hoaxes in maritime history.
They said, there can’t be tons of gold lying somewhere on the water. The fortune is even more expensive than the Eclipse superyacht owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich worth more than 1 billion USD. This “super product”, which is equipped with a missile defense system, costs tens of millions of dollars in maintenance costs every year.
Anyway, the name History Supreme is still considered a “legend” of the yachting industry, even though it has not considered the realism. When asked which is the most expensive yacht, perhaps History Supreme is still the top name.
