Bizarre Story of the History Supreme Yacht

Ian Fortey

You may have heard that the most expensive yacht in history is called the History Supreme. As near as I’ve been able to figure out, that’s not true. Not because the alleged $4.8 billion yacht wouldn’t be the most expensive – that’s far more than the next most expensive yacht. Instead, it’s not true because the History Supreme is not a real yacht. It doesn’t exist. But you wouldn’t know that from how the internet works.

The World’s Most Expensive Yacht

yacht history suprem

If you Google the most expensive yacht nearly all the top results, whether they are lists or single topic articles, tell you about History Supreme. Every single one of these articles uses the same four photos. Keep that in mind because it will be important in a moment.

According to the stories, which all source their information from the same place, the History Supreme was designed by a man named Stuart Hughes. Hughes is famous for elevating common things to the extravagant. He had added hundreds of diamonds to things like iPhones and iPads, turning the everyday pieces of technology into multi-million dollar pieces of art.

Hughes himself states he designed the History Supreme for an anonymous Malaysian businessman back around 2011. 

What Made the History Supreme So Expensive?

yacht history suprem

Hughes is famous for his excess so he was said to have gone all out with the History Supreme. One wall feature in the master suite was said to be made from meteoric stone (as in, harvested from a meteor) and included genuine dinosaur bone shaved from a Tyrannosaurus Rex found in Arizona. The dino bones alone were priced at $89,000.  There was even supposed to be a massive diamond housed in a luxury liquor bottle on display and a panoramic wall aquarium. So this ain’t your dad’s fishing boat , that’s for sure.

The big cost for the History Supreme was the solid gold and platinum. Hughes said he used 100,000 kg of precious metals to cover nearly every surface on the boat. The railings, the deck, the dining area, even the base of the boat was said to be wrapped in gold. Even the anchor was gold. And, for the record, 100,000 kg is about 220,000 pounds or 110 tons. Wow, right? Sounds like an amazing yacht.

Who Owns History Supreme?

yacht history suprem

All photos of the History Supreme came from Hughes own website and since that time, in 2011 or so, not a single other photo of the boat has been taken. No one has reported seeing the boat and no one even knows who owns the boat.

People have assumed that the owner would be a man named Robert Kuok, the richest man in Malaysia. His fortune is around $14.5 billion. If he was indeed the man who purchased this boat, it means he spent one third of all of his money on it. That’s a lot of money to invest in a single boat. 

Why Is the History Supreme Fake?

yacht history suprem

At the end of the day, there is no evidence History Supreme ever existed for real. The most damning evidence is those four photographs. Some internet sleuths who were unconvinced about the story of the History Supreme realized that the boat in Hughes photos looked a lot like the Baia One Hundred, a yacht made by Italian yacht makers Baia in 2008. 

The sales manager from Baia was contacted by a yachting news website back in 2011 to ask about the History Supreme. Because, in fairness, Hughes never claimed he was a yacht maker. He’s a man who makes normal things extravagant. He could have taken a One Hundred from Baia and made it into History One, right? Not so fast.

Baia’s sales manager said those photos were stolen from their website and doctored. So they were not new photos of an altered boat, but altered photos of an old boat. Moreover, and this is crucial, he also pointed out what should have been obvious to anyone working in boating news. If Hughes added 110 tons of gold to the boat, how the heck was it staying afloat?

The One Hundred has a displacement of 80 tons as is. Imagine adding an extra 110 tons of gold on top of that. There’s just no way. It would sink to the bottom like a stone. And honestly, how would that boat even work? Gold on the outside hull would get scraped off, assuming people didn’t strip it in the middle of the night. And a gold anchor? You’d risk the gold getting scraped and knocked off every time you used it. It just doesn’t make sense. 

While it seems like a cool story at first, I have to say it’s just beyond reason. It doesn’t make sense. No one has seen the boat in over a decade. Only four photos exist and they seem to have been photoshopped. And, finally, science itself stands in the way of the boat even working with the sheer mass of gold that’s supposed to be on board. For those reasons, we have to call this one a straight up hoax. There is no History Supreme.

The Bottom Line

For over a decade now, numerous websites have claimed History Supreme as the most expensive yacht in the world. But since no one has seen the yacht in over a decade, the pictures are apparently photoshopped, and it’s far too heavy to even work as a boat as it’s been described by the man who allegedly made it, we’re saying that the boat is just a hoax and never existed in the first place.

I’ve read about 10 000 kg gold, not 100 000. 100k is beyond ridiculous. Even 10k is. Here’s why: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21969100

“His figure for the overall amount of gold in the world is 155,244 tonnes – 16,056 tonnes, or 10% less, than the assessment by Thompson Reuters GFMS. A relatively small disparity, perhaps, but one that at today’s prices comes to more than $950 billion.”

So 16 tonnes are 950 billion dollars… how about that? ;-))

It says 16 thousand tonnes, not 16 tonnes.

History Supreme: The £3 Billion Gold Plated Yacht

By Ben Roberts

Intriguing reports have emerged regarding the world’s most expensive superyacht today. Worth almost ten times more than Eclipse, the largest yacht in the world, the 30.48m Gold plated superyacht, History Supreme, has now apparently hit the water.

History Supreme has been a well kept secret in the Superyacht Industry, which is understandable as the yacht itself is reportedly worth over £3 billion. Containing around 100,000kg of gold and platinum, History Supreme was designed by Stuart Hughes, the world renowned luxury designer, and took just over three years to complete.

Her hull and exterior design are both wrapped in the most sought after precious metals on the planet, coating elements of the deck, dining area, rails and even the anchor.

History Supreme also holds one of the most unique interior features to ever grace a yacht; a wall feature which is made from meteor stone and Tyrannosaurus Rex bone.

However, we feel it is highly unlikely that a superyacht adorned to this level will ever actually grace the waters, and if the reports are in fact true, it would be far better suited to a museum exhibit than a life on the ocean.

The Midas Touch: $4.8 Billion History Supreme Most Expensive Yacht Ever Sold

We’ve seen some opulent yachts, but the 100-foot History Supreme takes the gold-encrusted cake. Stuart Hughes, a British purveyor of luxury gadgets, took a break from his role as an iPad alchemist to create the $4.8 billion superyacht, covered in platinum and gold from bow to stern.

Purchased by an anonymous Malaysian businessman, History Supreme is the most expensive yacht ever sold, according to Luxury Launches. The Daily Mail reports that the impressive vessel took three years to complete and used over a staggering 220,462 pounds of precious metals. Everything – from the base of the boat, to the deck, dining area, rails and anchor – were decked out in gold and platinum.

The exorbitant price tag is also the result of the lavish master bedroom, adorned in platinum with a wall feature that is made from meteoric stone and a genuine T-Rex dinosaur bone. It is rumored that Robert Kuok purchased the superyacht, worth 10 times the amount Roman Abramovitch (previous title holder for world’s most expensive yacht) paid for the Eclipse megayacht. Kuok is one of only three Malaysians with a net worth of $5 billion or more, according to Forbes billionaire’s list . If the purchase price is accurate, “the most likely buyer is Robert Kuok , the richest man in Malaysia, with a net worth of $12.5 billion,” reports Business Insider .

Have you ever seen a vessel of floating gold? If you’re in the right place at the right time, you may just run into the History Supreme , the most expensive and arguably the most unique yacht ever designed and built.

Since the beginning of time, the world’s elite have flaunted their affluence, but this floating masterpiece may just blow every other show-and-tell yacht extravagance out of the water.

yacht history suprem

The History Supreme was created and built by Stuart Hughes, a British purveyor of frilly gadgets and the creator of both the most expensive suit and most expensive iPhone in the world. This supreme boat was sold to an anonymous ultra-wealthy Malaysian business man, assumed to be Robert Kuok.

You have to see it to believe it, as this almost implausible work of floating golden art took Hughes 3 years to complete and cost $4.8 billion. Mr. Hughes was ecstatic when approached by a friend in the yachting circle to design the luxury liner. He had free creative reign to design and construct the yacht as he wished. Hughes never met the purchaser of his creation, Mr. Kuok, who is reported to be the richest man in Malaysia with a net worth of $12.5 billion.

At 100 feet long, and weighing-in at staggering 220,462 pounds worth of precious gold and platinum, all the extraordinary features are on deck and opulently on display.

The dining area, rails and anchor are all made from priceless metals, and the base of the vessel is wrapped in pure gold. The superyacht’s lavish interior features central sleeping quarters and is adorned with platinum accents, including wall features made from meteoric stones and authentic T-Rex Dinosaur bones.

This astounding and innovative abundance continues on board with a luxury liquor bottle featuring an 18.5 carat diamond, one of the rarest in the world. Also, wrap your head around the custom iPhone that’s covered in 500 cut diamonds which include two interchangeable diamonds fitted over the phone’s “home button”. If you forget that you’re at sea, a reminder might also be the yacht’s superbly ordained panoramic wall aquarium made of 24 carat gold.

The History Supreme has maintained the title of most expensive yacht on the high seas for nearly a decade now, with no other luxury liner able to surpass its mammoth price tag. Too good to be true, or knot?

Record-Breaking Price

Factors of supreme value.

The extravagant History Supreme yacht holds the title of the most expensive yacht in the world, with a staggering price tag of $4.8 billion . One of the key factors contributing to its supreme value is the abundance of precious metals used in its construction.

Renowned luxury designer Stuart Hughes designed the History Supreme, employing over 100,000kg of gold and platinum in its creation. The construction process took more than three years to complete, and the result is a breathtaking vessel that stands alone at the pinnacle of luxury.

Some of the extravagantly luxurious features of the History Supreme include:

  • Gold-plated rooms

Comparison to Other Luxury Yachts

The History Supreme's incomparable price tag sets it in a league of its own, significantly surpassing even the most luxurious and expensive yachts on the market.

In addition to the unmatched value of the precious metals used in the History Supreme, the exclusivity associated with owning the world's most expensive yacht and the remarkable design elements by the acclaimed Stuart Hughes place this vessel in a truly unique category of unparalleled luxury.

yacht history suprem

Ownership and Origin

Current owner.

The current owner of the History Supreme yacht is Malaysian businessman Robert Kuok . Kuok, a self-made billionaire, runs the Kuok Group, an international corporation with operations all around the world. He reportedly spent a third of his $12.8 billion fortune when he paid $4.8 billion for the History Supreme.

Manufacturer and Designer

The History Supreme yacht is a product of extraordinary craftsmanship and design. It was designed by Stuart Hughes , a world-renowned luxury designer. The project took just over three years to complete, and it is reported to be worth over £3 billion.

Built with around 100,000 kg of gold and platinum, the yacht is truly one of a kind. The precious metals are used to cover nearly every surface on the boat, including the railings, the deck, the dining area and even the base of the boat. The anchor is also made of gold .

The sheer amount of precious metals used in the construction of this magnificent yacht justifies its title as the most expensive yacht in the world.

Controversies and Criticisms

Environmental concerns.

One of the primary criticisms surrounding the History Supreme yacht is its potential environmental impact. The vessel is said to be plated with around 100,000kg of gold and platinum , which raises questions about the sustainability of using such vast quantities of precious metals. Extraction of these metals often leads to environmental degradation, including deforestation and pollution.

Access and Usage Limits

Another controversy related to the History Supreme yacht is the access and usage limitations. As a vessel worth billions of dollars, it's likely that only a select few individuals will be able to enjoy it. The exclusivity of the yacht is often met with criticism, as it highlights the stark differences between the extremely wealthy and the rest of society.

Moreover, the fact that the yacht has been rarely seen since its unveiling has led to speculation and skepticism around its legitimacy and existence. The lack of public access and the secretive nature of its whereabouts have only fueled concerns and criticisms, making the History Supreme yacht a controversial figure in the world of luxury vessels.

Inside The Most Expensive Yacht Ever Sold

superyacht upper deck corridor

Billionaires are seemingly always seeking to top one another and themselves when it comes to buying jaw-droppingly expensive and ridiculous objects. In 2011, an anonymous Malaysian man, rumored to be business tycoon Robert Kuok, may have moved to the head of the pack when he allegedly bought the hilariously named History Supreme, a yacht made of such materials as solid gold, platinum, meteoric stone, and the bone of a tyrannosaurus rex. According to Business Insider , Kuok is a notoriously private self-made billionaire who heads the Kuok Group, a multinational conglomerate that owns assorted businesses around the world. When he bought the History Supreme for $4.8 billion, he reportedly spent a third of his $12.8 billion fortune. According to Forbes , in 2021 the 97-year-old is the 171st richest person in the world with a net worth of $12.6 billion.

As reported by the Daily Mail , the History Supreme is made up of over 100,000 kg (that's over 220,000 pounds) of platinum and gold; the entire base of the boat is wrapped in solid gold and the precious metals are used throughout, while the aforementioned meteoric stone and dinosaur bone make up a "wall feature" in the master bedroom. Additional features, per Jetset Magazine , include a luxury liquor bottle adorned with a rare 18.5 carat diamond, a custom iPhone encrusted in 500 diamonds, including two special interchangable home button diamonds, and a panoramic Aquavista wall aquarium made from 24-carat gold, presumably setting a new standard when it comes to panoramic yacht aquariums.

Is the History Supreme a hoax?

The History Supreme yacht is the handiwork of British designer Stuart Hughes who per his website has also made such collectibles for the ultrarich as the world's most expensive suit, the world's most expensive iPhone, the world's most expensive model car, and a solid gold Rolls Royce Phantom. According to Jetset Magazine , the "anonymous Malaysian business man" (probably Robert Kuok, shown above) commissioned Hughes via a friend in his yachting circle; Hughes never met the person for whom the yacht was intended, but was given completely  free reign in terms of the ship's design and construction. The project took three years to complete. 

To add to the History Supreme's mystique, some people don't believe it exists at all. Autoevolution says it "was never real, it was never made and no, it does not exist," noting that Italian company Baia Yachts issued a statement claiming the pictures of History Supreme's interior on Hughes' website were stolen from their site and used without permission. MoneyInc and YachtHarbor also lay out the case for the entire story being a hoax, with MoneyInc noting that at one point Kuok deconstructed his Hong Kong mansion into several smaller homes to avoid an ostentatious display of wealth, which makes his commission of the world's most luxurious yacht seem unlikely. Furthermore, as Kuok is known for staying out of the public eye, perhaps Hughes chose him as the supposed customer because he is hard to reach and therefore will not confirm or deny the yacht's existence. The History Supreme section of Hugh's website remains intact. 

Did the Eclipse get eclipsed?

Before the possible existence of the History Supreme, the title of world's most luxurious yacht belonged to the Eclipse (shown above). Per the Sydney Morning Herald , it was purchased in 2009 by Russian business tycoon Roman Abramovich for $590 million and includes two helipads, a movie theater, a sports complex, its own mini-submarine, and a missile defense system. Created by German shipbuilding company Blohm + Voss, an anonymous Russian yachting expert described it as a "big mansion on water ." When asked why it looked like a military frigate, the expert replied "It's a trend. Private yachts look like military boats these days. The yacht is a statement for many people. It's a statement about power." For those who wanted to try out that sort of morally dubious power without committing, the Eclipse was at one point available for commission for up to 30 guests and 75 crew members via SuperYachtsMonaco at $2 million per week, as reported by Business Insider . It's no longer listed on the site.

Per Robb Report , the world's largest yacht since its construction finished in 2013 has been the Azzam, which comes in at 592 feet and six inches long and can travel at a speed up to 30 knots. Built by yacht company Lürssen , it was commissioned by United Arab Emirates president Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (per Super Yacht Fan ) and has an interior described as sophisticated and luxe.

Is the History Supreme Yacht Real?

Is the history supreme yacht real .

For most boat owners, it’s enough that their boat is sea-worthy, clean, and running smoothly. But for the designer of the History Supreme yacht, a few extras were in order. With the existence of the famous yacht under debate, we delve under the surface to find out if the boat reigns supreme, or if it’s myth is history. 

Why is the History Supreme Yacht So Expensive? 

While a lot of information about the yacht is up in the air, most agree that the high price tag is due not only to its size (a reported one hundred feet in length), but also what it’s made of. The boat is supposedly loaded with precious metals. Gold and platinum were said to be used to line the entire boat. 

How Much is the History Supreme Yacht Worth? 

The boat is listed with a price tag of $4.8 billion, easily making it the most expensive yacht ever to exist. The next most expensive luxurious yacht would be the Eclipse, owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. The Eclipse mega yacht is valued at $1.5 billion, making it only a third of the value of the History Supreme.

Who Owns the Yacht History Supreme? 

The name most often linked with the History Supreme is Malaysian businessman Robert Kuok. His fortune is currently listed as $11 billion on Forbes. If the boat is indeed real, would someone really spend over a third of their money on it? 

The other name linked to the boat is the reported designer, Stuart Hughes. Hughes is best known for designing luxury gadgets such as solid gold games consoles, or black diamond iPhones. He describes the yacht on his website as having been sold to an anonymous Malaysian businessman, which may or may not be Kuok. 

Inside the History Supreme Yacht 

Other features of opulence on the boat include a T-rex bone mounted on the wall of the master bedroom, along with meteor rock features. The whole interior is decked out with gold and platinum. The dining area, the deck itself and even the boat’s anchor are said to be either solid gold, or gold-lined. 

Does the History Supreme Really Exist? 

While it’s been long discussed online and in boating circles, it seems unlikely the golden yacht actually exists. Whether a deliberate hoax in the industry, or just a rumour that got out of hand, it seems likely that the boat isn’t real. The few existing photos appear to be fake or doctored, and the reported weight of the boat, given all that precious metal, is around 100,000kg. 

Any yacht owner worth their salt could tell you that a boat of that weight would struggle to stay afloat, let alone get you from coast to coast.

NOW that's how you bling up a yacht.

A gold-plated super-yacht that is claimed to be worth a staggering £3 billion ($4.5 billion) has taken the title of the most expensive in the world.

UK designer Stuart Hughes claims that the 30-metre long History Supreme yacht is adorned with 100,000 kilograms of gold and platinum that covers more than half its surface and even comes with a statue made from the bone of a T-Rex dinosaur.

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.

There is also a wall feature in the master bedroom that is made from meteoric stone and an aquarium made from 68kg of 24 carat gold.

Also on board is a luxury liquor bottle featuring an 18.5ct diamond, one of the world’s rarest.

Designed by jeweller Stuart Hughes, the “mammoth” project took over three years to complete.

The vessel even outshines Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s $450 million yacht Eclipse , which has its own missile defence system and a submarine.

It is claimed the History Supreme was completed in Malaysia two weeks ago for an anonymous businessman.

Mr Hughes has also produced laptops, beds, cars and a suit covered in precious metals.

History Supreme is the world’s most expensive yacht

By Adrian Prisca

Updated on July 1, 2015

History Supreme

The renowned luxury goods designer Stuart Hughes has created the world’s most unique and probably most expensive yacht called History Supreme or Baia 100 Supreme that’s apparently worth 3 billion GBP or close to $5 billion. This yacht has been apparently designed for an anonymous leading businessman from Malaysia who probably won’t be that anonymous after getting on this beauty.

History Supreme is made of 100,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum and took over three years to be completed. It’s 100 ft long and wherever you look you’ll see the precious metals it was made of. Even the dining area, deck and anchor have been made using real precious metals.

The base of the yacht is wrapped with solid gold and the wall feature is specially crafted from meteoric stone along with a genuine dinosaur bone shaved in from the raptor T-REX. The main sleeping area has platinum accents just like many other rooms of this amazing yacht.

Update: A lot of people have been emailing us about the History Supreme yacht and we have to mention that this yacht concept was actually fake, even though I’m sure a lot of billionaires would dream of owning a lavish yacht as this concept was announced to be.

The Trumpification of the Supreme Court of the United States

Author and journalist Ari Berman has recently published an excellent, timely new book, Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist I t.  It comes out at a time when the United States Supreme Court is intricately involved in — what many rational and fair-minded people consider to be — a blatant attempt to help Donald Trump in the 2024 Election.

A meticulously researched book, it examines many structural flaws in the United States Constitution, particularly several governmental institutions that have — for all intents and purposes — negated majority rule and  established minority rule in the United States .

Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It

The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority.   But this crisis didn’t begin or end with Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift.

Ari Berman charts these efforts with sweeping historical research and incisive on-the-ground reporting, chronicling how a wide range of antidemocratic tactics interact with profound structural inequalities in institutions like the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court to threaten the survival of representative government in America.

The Supreme Court Is Apparently Just Winging It “ The Supreme Court’s conservatives often accuse liberals of inventing provisions nowhere to be found in the Constitution.   Now, the fingers are pointed in the other direction,”   Politico   reports. “At the attention-grabbing arguments this week over Donald Trump’s claim of sweeping presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, the six-member conservative bloc seemed largely unconcerned by a key flaw in Trump’s theory: Nothing in the Constitution explicitly mentions the concept of presidential immunity. ” “The conservative justices have, over the years, seen harbingers of tyranny in union organizing, environmental regulations, civil-rights laws, and universal-health-care plans. When confronted with a legal theory that establishes actual tyranny, they were simply intrigued.  As long as Donald Trump is the standard-bearer for the Republicans, every institution they control will contort itself in his image in an effort to protect him. ”  Link

Supreme Injustice

Here is an excerpt from David Corn’s interview with Ari Berman in Mother Jones .

“Are we a democracy if we’re only relying on one party to uphold democracy? That seems a dangerous situation.” x Mike Smith, The Las Vegas Sun pic.twitter.com/RMwen3sXeU — Editorial & Political Cartoons (@EandPCartoons) April 29, 2024

Q. What are your biggest worries for the 2024 election?

A. That the anti-democratic movement that was unsuccessful in 2020 will be successful in 2024.  They are now more strategic, and they are now being helped by a political system that advantages more conservative and more rural areas as opposed to more urban, more diverse, and more progressive areas.  I’m concerned about the toxic combination of an undemocratic political system and an authoritarian leader who wants to take advantage of that political system.  I wonder whether our institutions will hold again.  Are we a democracy if we’re only relying on one party to uphold democracy?  That seems a dangerous situation.  What if the only party that will uphold democracy becomes unpopular for any number of reasons?

A lot of people feel like we dodged a bullet in 2020.  But the gun is being reloaded right now.  The effort to overturn the election in 2020 was disorganized.  The anti-democratic movement is now more organized.  It has a leadership and marching orders and people at all levels.   If they want to stage an insurrection, they could stage a much more organized insurrection the second time around.

Wade to a critical swing state Tuesday, even as he was stuck in court in New York City,”   Los Angeles Magazine   reports. Said Trump: “When you look at it and you look at what’s happening all over the country now, states are voting.  Ohio just voted.  All different by the way.   It’s tailor made, and it’s really working out well for people and they’re very, very happy .”
