The WHY was supposed to be built by French luxury brand Hermes and Monaco-based yacht maker Wally. In March, one month after we jinxed the WHY by running our story, Hermes elegantly pulled out, saying they’d rather see the project in the hands of only one decision-maker. With an estimate price tag of in between $68 million to $137 million (50 million and 100 million Euros), the WHY has so far secured billions of “wow-s” and exactly zero dollars. This is why, currently, the WHY (easy wordplay, we know) has sailed into a mist, with Wally hinting it will be built, without saying when and how. – from here
