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.
So if it sinks, it becomes sunken treasure? :unsure:

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.
Well I guess that latest iPhone doesn't seem so expensive now..🤣

Since gold is priced at about $2,589.00 an ounce, the price of the gold alone would be $9.1 billion, so I call bullshite on the whole idea.

Not to mention the price of that 7.4 carat pink diamond...unless of course it's lab grown.
 
I think that the alleged boat might experience buoyancy issues.

That's what one sold for in 2000, and the price has only gone up.

Here's one in 2012, a little bigger and vivid rather than intense, but still...

"Commissioned by a mysterious Malaysian billionaire"

This sounds a lot like the Saudi owned "Devel Sixteen" super car which the Saudis insist is capable of cruising at 375 miles per hour.
Which Saudi owns it? It's a mystery.
Has it been test driven at any speed above 250 mph? It's a mystery!
The car exists but no one has seen it do anything except idle in a parking lot.

Dick measuring contests, some people will spend four billion dollars to prove they have "the biggest dick", I guess.
It also reminds me of the joke about the baby photographer:

------------

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
'Good morning, he said, "I've come to..."
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
'Have you really?" Said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat."
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
"Well, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!" Gasped Mrs. Smith.
"In my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" Asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look."
"Four and five deep?" Said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes", the photographer replied, "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh .. . . .equipment?"
"It's true, yes. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand for very long."

Mrs. Smith fainted.
 
If @mrjurrs calculations are correct the gold weighs 217 lbs. That won't sink her.
In that case, I hope that it is also well armed. Ships carrying shitloads of gold have sometimes fared poorly on the high seas, and this possibly mythical boat would be quite a prize.
 
No, 220,000 lbs.
(100,000 x 2.2)
Let me try again to see if i can get this right...
Since gold is priced at about $2,589.00 an ounce, the price of the gold alone would be $9.1 billion, so I call bullshite on the whole idea.
$9.1 billion ÷ $2589/oz = 3514 ounces.

Right so far?

3514 ounces = about 317 lbs.
 
Ok @mrjurrs I asked Alexa and she said 355,000 pounds, and wishes me a nice afternoon.

So you and @Helix are right. This thing would not float.
 
Well we're all over the place here. Kg to lb calculator puts 100,000 kg at 220,462 lb. 🤷‍♂️
 
147.4 million fine troy ounces, valued at $6.2 billion, is stored in 13 vault compartments at Fort Knox Bullion Depository.

The New York Federal Reserve has the largest storage of gold in the world - about 7,000 tons.

You could build a lot of super yachts with that!
 
Hmm... looking around a minute.. Of course weight and 'footprint'/displacement go hand in hand on whether she'll float or not.

History Supreme(4.8B)
Now we're at 4.8B on this ghost ship
History Supreme has never actually been seen in a major port, and rumors suggest that the yacht may not be real and instead just a publicity stunt. Reportedly owned by Malaysia’s richest man, Robert Kuok, and designed by Stuart Hughes in the UK, the yacht is only a paltry 100 feet long.

Yeah, I dont think the ratio is going to cut it. Probably why it hasn't been seen. Sunk as soon as they slid it out of dry dock. 😂
