Inside a R9.7-billion hydrogen-powered superyacht

The Guardian reported that the Microsoft founder Bill Gates has commissioned a R9.7 billion ($644 million) hydrogen-powered superyacht, complete with an infinity pool, helipad, spa, and gym.

However, Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design, which is behind the hydrogen-powered superyacht, denied that Gates has purchased the vessel.

Statement by Sinot:

[Apogee]

So fake news, which a lot of blogs just reposted without checking the facts.

Could this not be a marketing stunt by Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design?

They are getting a lot of free advertising now.

Ja, but they made it clear, they are not affiliated with him(that we know of). Just proofs there might be more people richer than gates, that we don't know about. Ones that frequent Monaco.

I remember a saying from a movie: “What can you do with two billion that you can’t do with one?
Lots.

I always question the sensibility of putting that much money into something that floats...

 

[whatwhat]

Which south Africans do you think are richer than Bill gates?

Have a think about it on your drive to the office in the morning.

So then you actually don't know and are just making a random bollocks shot in the dark then aren't you?

So again, you're still taking a monumental stab in the dark, and not actually giving anything concrete.
