A Malaysian businessman has splashed out a massive £3 billion on a gold and platinum yacht made using 100,000kg of precious metals... it even has a solid gold anchor.

The 'History Supreme' yacht - which stands out even when compared to other billionaires' toys - was created by Liverpool-based jeweller Stuart Hughes.

It took him three years to complete and the entire base of the 100ft vessel is wrapped in solid gold, along with most other features on-board.

The main sleeping quarter is adorned with platinum accents and has a wall feature made from meteoric stone and a genuine T-Rex dinosaur bone. Take that Roman Abramovich!

Speaking to Newslite, Stuart Hughes said: "I was commissioned for the "History Supreme" project by an anonymous Malaysian business man who wanted something really special.

"It was probably the most mammoth task I have undertaken so far, there was three years of planning and it was very difficult to get right.

"The project uses 100,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum and all features including the deck, dinning area and rails are made from precious metals. The anchor is even made from solid gold."
