Bill Gates is first to buy £500m hydrogen-powered superyacht
Bill Gates has commissioned the world’s first hydrogen-powered superyacht, in a £500m signal of his belief that investment in new clean technology is the best way to cut carbon emissions.
The retired 64-year-old is behind the construction of a cutting-edge vessel by the Dutch superyacht specialist Feadship.
Mr Gates, who co-founded Microsoft and is currently ranked as the world’s second-richest man, is a regular superyacht holidaymaker but has not previously owned his own vessel and has preferred to rent during summer trips around the Mediterranean.
