Over the weekend, news widely reported that Bill Gates is buying a $644m luxury vessel, based on the concept which was displayed in Monaco in 2019.
On Monday, 10 Feb, Sinot confirms that it's not true. Sinot stamped on its website "Aqua not sold!" early Monday morning. The company clearly mentioned that "These articles are factually incorrect."
So clearly, all the news and information around this is incorrect. Billionaire Bill Gates is not spending $644 million to purchase a superyacht.
Aqua is a concept under development, it was shown in Monaco. Sinot developed an innovative luxury ship concept. The ship is powered by liquid hydrogen, emitting only water. The yacht has five decks and can accommodate dozens of people.
The claims seemed alluringly possible, but a superrich is not buying a superyacht.
