The expedition will include a billionaire whose name has not been revealed, but is apparently recognisable. 'I heard that somebody is going down to the Titanic in a couple weeks,' a source told The Post. 'What I can tell you is that it's a billionaire. Going down there will cost $10 million. You would recognize his name.' The source refused to divulge the billionaire's name, saying: 'He'll want to make an announcement that he is the first person to go to the Titanic since the tragedy.'
