The Most Expensive Fake Yacht in The World? (3.4 Billion Euros)

The really most expensive yacht in the world is said to belong to an anonymous Malaysian businessman. However, the size itself is not decisive here, because the “History Supreme” should only be around 30 meters long.

The building material is the decisive factor here because the mega yacht was allegedly constructed in Liverpool by luxury designer “Stuart Hughes” with a total of 100,000 kilograms of gold and platinum. That’s right: the alleged boat designer is said to have installed 100 tons of gold and platinum in the luxury yacht in a construction period of 3 years.

Sounds like a big fake? It probably is, as the world agrees that the yacht was never built and only Malaysian businessman Robert Kuok could possibly raise the money. However, he did not buy it and no one has seen the thing yet. Photoshop skills > 100?
