The Sun, a U.K. newspaper, reported that the 100-feet yacht, rather aptly named History Supreme, had 100 tons of gold incorporated into its design.
And it does not stop there. The yacht is a dazzling, unrestrained display of bling - deck, dining area, rails and anchor were all fashioned from precious metals - platinum being one.
Platinum also embellishes its sleeping quarters. As an added bonus, the package also includes a statue crafted from a bone of no less than 'The King of the Dinosaurs' - the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Started in Italy and finished in Malaysia (about two weeks ago), construction of the yacht took three years. The project was overseen by Liverpool jeweller Stuart Hughes, who was given the task by a yet unidentified Malaysian businessman.
"I've covered all sorts of things in gold but this has got to be my most ambitious project yet. This will never be topped," Hughes was attributed saying in The Sun report.
