It's the gold standard of yachts - literally.
Believed to be the most expensive yacht in the world, the entire hull of the 100-foot History Supreme is wrapped in a thin layer of gold. In all, 100 tonnes of solid gold and platinum were used to bling this boat - on the deck, in the dining area, on the railings, the anchor and other accents. It was commissioned by an anonymous Malaysian businessman, who reportedly paid about the equivalent of $4.6 billion. That works out to about $46 million per foot. The vessel, which took three years to build, is the handiwork of Stuart Hughes, a jeweller in Liverpool, U.K., who is known for his bespoke luxury items, like a diamond-wrapped iPhone worth about $7.7 million.
