Google co-founder Sergey Brin is building $100 million-$150 million airship that he plans to use on humanitarian missions and as a luxury yacht, according to reports.

The airship is under construction in Silicon Valley, and will be the largest aircraft in the world, according to a report in The Guardian. However, the airship will be smaller than the famous Hindenburg (here are some photos of the Hindenburg's luxury interior) or the US Navy's USS Macon, once based in the same hangars where Brin's aircraft is taking shape.

Separately, Google has been working on Project Loon, high-altitude balloons to provide low-cost wireless Internet for developing areas, and recently won clearance to continue tests in Nevada through 2020. (See Oh, the Huge Manatee! Google's US Loon Tests Renewed Into 2020.)
