SAN FRANCISCO : Microsoft co-founder and the world’s second richest man Bill Gates has commissioned himself a futuristic superyacht that’s powered entirely by liquid hydrogen — meaning its only emission is water — for ₹4,600 crore.
Gates is a regular superyacht holidaymaker but has not previously owned his own vessel and has preferred to rent during his summer trips.
The plans of buying the superyacht were unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show last year in December.
Notably, this is the first of its kind being powered by liquid hydrogen.
