The 3 Billion Pound Golden Yacht is now said to be a joke as admitted by The Italian yacht builder Baia who, up till now has only produced "normal" boats, not glorified yachts with a 100 tonnes of Gold and ivory bits. The heading picture as used by the world's press was not surprisingly, photo chopped. So, what can believe in nowadays anymore?
The Golden Yacht also created sensational news around the world and in Malaysia particularly with people guessing who the billionaire owner really was, like this post:
£3,000,000,000 For a Yacht or 37,500 GTRs?
