The History Supreme superyacht is currently the most expensive in the world, valued at $4.8 billion, and is owned by a prominent businessman in Asia.
The History Supreme yacht is surrounded by many stories, often considered the most bizarre and absurd in the yacht industry. Designed by luxury jewelry designer Stuart Hughes, History Supreme boasts many premium features, including gold plating, diamonds, and construction from rare precious metals.

Stuart Hughes has never revealed who the buyer is, but he has hinted that Robert Kuok, the richest man in Malaysia and the second richest in Southeast Asia, is the owner of this transaction. Recently, Kuok’s net worth was $11 billion, but in 2011, Forbes estimated it to be around $12.5 billion. The question arises as to why someone would spend one-third of their wealth on a luxury yacht, which seems quite odd.
Another issue is the controversy surrounding the photos of History Supreme. Shortly after its introduction to the world, the Italian yacht manufacturer Baia Yachts issued a statement claiming that the photos on Stuart Hughes’ website were stolen from the company without permission. However, they still remain on Stuart Hughes’ website, along with the description and price of the History Supreme yacht.
Many people have referred to History Supreme as the biggest scam in the history of the yacht industry, and without evidence of its existence, it could be a ploy to enhance Stuart Hughes’ reputation. Nevertheless, Stuart Hughes continues to list the yacht on his website as a genuine item, and the internet still often recognizes it as the most expensive yacht ever produced.
