With a fortune of $ 110 billion, the tycoon Bill gates He is the second richest man in the world and can make certain unattainable acquisitions for almost all of the rest of mankind.
So, these days, the billionaire creator of Microsoft had the luxury of buying a yacht whose cost is about $ 645 million.
The ship is 112 meters long and can accommodate about 15 guests with all the luxuries.
In addition to being a lavish boat where you look, this model acquired by Gates has a characteristic that makes it especially ecological: it does not work with gasoline, or electricity, but does it with liquid hydrogen, which does not pollute the environment.
The vessel has two vacuum-sealed two-ton hydrogen tanks.
The new acquisition of Gates was built by the Dutch shipping company Feadship, and is a model baptized Aqua – the millionaire can rename it as you want -, was presented last year at the Monaco Yacht Show, a fair aimed at exposing and selling ships to billionaires .

The gym, like almost everything on this boat, has a relaxing view of the sea.
The height of the roofs inside the ship ranges from almost three to four meters, to create an idea of open view with armored windows that cover the entire front of the ship to have the feeling of floating in the sea.
The area for the boat owner has a large bathroom, a dressing room and a private spa section. In addition, it boasts a VIP suite with natural light located on the waterline, decorated in a minimalist style.
The expensive yacht, which has not yet been built, will have two 28-ton vacuum sealed tanks to store liquid hydrogen at less than 252 degrees. This fuel will generate the energy necessary for the ship’s engines to work and also provide the energy to produce electricity on the ship. This type of energy releases zero pollutants that are basically water, according to the British newspaper, The Telegraph.

Feadship ensures that the system offers a maximum speed of 17 knots, cruising speed of 10 to 12 knots and a range of 3750 nautical miles, more than enough to travel from New York to the United Kingdom.
But Gates is going to have a problem to deal with the day they finally hand-deliver his lavish ship, it is estimated that in four years’ time: there are currently no stations to load hydrogen in any port in the world. But surely the software tycoon will somehow overcome this problem.
