Welcome to the second largest yacht in the world - step on board the 162.5m yacht...well, metaphorically speaking anyway! It took 4.5 years to create, it has 9 decks and is 162.5 metres in length! Designer Terry Disdale explained,
“No one ever said to me, ‘I want a 160 metre boat’,” he says over breakfast near his office in Richmond, London. “When the yacht was still on the drawing board, there was a rumour going round that someone was building an even bigger boat, and the owner was asked if he knew about it. He said he didn’t, and that he didn’t care. Breaking records was the farthest thing from his mind.”

How did one yacht come to cost so much you ask? Well, let's start with the 100,000kg of gold and platinum that builder Stuart Hughes used when constructing this sexy beast. And its not just the outside of the boat that dazzles, go inside & you'll find...yet more gold.
The creator of the History Supreme, Hughes, says “all features including deck, dining area, rails, anchor, [are] made from precious metals”.
The sleeping quarters have a feature wall “made from meteoric stone with genuine dinosaur bone shaved in from the raptor T-Rex”, Hughes’ website says.
Founder of the Shangri-La hotel & resorts, Robert Kuok, is said to own this obnoxious looking yet beautiful yacht. As the richest person in Malaysia, he's estimated to be worth around $12.6 billion, so why would he own a yacht that costs so much? Something doesn't quite add up!
