I "worked" on one of those. They were floating showrooms for Google Glass. Basically a glitzy floating Apple store and exclusive club. There wasn't very much interesting about them. The one we had was scrapped halfway through. They thought they could get away with building a public accommodating vessel without meeting any Coast Guard standards. They were wrong.
There's been plans for floating data centers for a while from a few companies, not sure if any were built.
