The second richest man in the world has bought a futuristic superyacht that works completely with liquid hydrogen, which means that its only emission is water.
Bill Gates is believed to have paid $ 645 million to buy Aqua, whose plans were announced at the Monaco Yacht Show last year.
The luxury lining is 370 feet long and consists of five complete decks with room for 14 guests, 31 crew members, a gym, yoga studio, beauty salon, massage room and a cascading pool on its back deck .
But its most impressive feature is locked in the hold: two 28-ton vacuum sealed tanks that cool to -423F (-253C) and fill with liquid hydrogen that feeds the ship.
It is known that Gates, 64, regularly takes vacations aboard superyachts, however, this is the first time he buys one. In the past I used to rent boats during summer trips to the Mediterranean.
The new vessel is not expected to be ready to sail in the open sea until 2024.
