Myth: History Supreme Yacht -Worth $4.8 Billion Owner: Robert Kuok
Said to be the most expensive Superyacht globally, built in 2011; history supreme is supposedly
worth $4.8 Billion.
The reason?

can see why it broke the internet and went super-viral.
Even BusinessInsider fell for it and reported this story as accurate.
Anyways, please don't fall for it guys, now you know that History Supreme doesn't come
close to the big boys on this list.
There you have it, guys, 11 ridiculously expensive yachts of the richest men.
So, whose yacht do you like the most, and why?
Is the Flying Fox worth $400 Million, Abramovich's armor-plated $1.5 billion yachts, or Alexei
Mordashov's $500 Million Nord?
