The History Supreme yacht isn’t just the priciest yacht globally; it’s also regarded as the most uniquely designed one to date.

Therefore, it’s hardly surprising that the news of this astonishing gold-plated yacht being valued at $4.8 billion for a Malaysian businessman in 2019 garnered immense public and expert attention. It can be said that, with such a “sky-high” price tag, this transaction officially solidified History Supreme’s status as the world’s most expensive yacht.

A Brief Introduction to the Superyacht History Supreme

The History Supreme yacht was custom-built upon the request of Stuart Hughes, a specialist in crafting and providing opulent items to the global elite. Hughes is renowned for his transformation of iPads and iPhones into one-of-a-kind creations by adorning them with gold plating, covering them in the finest leathers, or embellishing them with diamonds, all according to the client’s desires. His most famed masterpiece is the iPhone 4, coated with 500 diamonds, including two exceptionally large interchangeable ones on the home button, valued at $6.4 million.

The world’s most expensive yacht, History Supreme, presented one of Hughes’s most significant challenges. It took him three years to transform a modern naval yacht into the ultimate luxury masterpiece, featuring a gold-plated interior and exterior adorned with unparalleled diamonds and gemstones.

“Meeting” the Owner of the Golden Yacht

Details about the initial buyer were kept confidential, but the substantial $4.8 billion expenditure on the luxurious History Supreme yacht catapulted this anonymous billionaire to newfound fame.

This figure surpasses the previous record holder for the most expensive yacht, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovitch’s Eclipse yacht, by a factor of ten.

Consequently, every facet of the opulent History Supreme masterpiece, as well as its owner, became highly coveted.
