At 271feet, it's smaller than its sister ship Kaos, but equally as stunning.

The gold wall art is a far cry from the muted tones of Kaos, but fits the luxury of Laurie's lifestyle.

Heated bathroom floors are a standard on the yacht, and the master has two en suite bathrooms.

The boat also has a glass elevator, 12-person cinema , and onboard massage parlor.

It even has a bar inside called "The London bar", featuring smoke machines, a DJ booth and water wall chandelier.

Coincidentally, Laurie's superyacht Kaos is estimated to dock in the city of London later this afternoon.

Walmart billionaire's £300million superyacht spotted in a very unlikely location

The luxurious $302 million (£240 million) superyacht Kaos, owned by Nancy Walton Laurie, heiress to the Walmart empire, has been spotted in Cornwall, boasting impressive features

• 23:02, 10 Jun 2023 Updated 14:38, 11 Jun 2023

A luxurious superyacht owned by an heiress to the Walmart empire has sailed from Miami and ended up in a very unlikely location.

The superyacht, named Kaos, owned by Nancy Walton Laurie, one of the wealthiest women in the world and heiress to the Walmart empire, has been seen off the coast of Cornwall , England.

The yacht, which is the 55th largest in the world, was recently in London before making its way to Falmouth.

It is valued at over $302million (£240million) and was built by Oceanco in 2017, the same company responsible for Amazon owner Jeff Bezos's superyacht.

With a length of 110 meters and a weight of 4,523 tons, Kaos was the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands at the time of its launch in 2017.

Kaos has impressive features, including 16 cabins, a gym, a steam room, an indoor beach club, a cinema, a sauna, and a spa.

It also has amenities such as a swimming pool, aquarium, and helipad.

The yacht's interiors are known for their lavishness, featuring marble and stone elements, custom silk carpets, and high-end materials.

Nancy Walton Laurie inherited a stake in Walmart from her father, Bud Walton.

She, along with her sister Ann Walton Kroenke, became billionaires after receiving Walmart stock when their father passed away in 1995.

In addition to their Walmart holdings, Nancy and her husband Bill own commercial real estate, multiple homes, and two yachts.

They have also made philanthropic contributions, including a $10million donation to the University of Memphis in 2013, which is their alma mater, according to Forbes .

Nancy developed an interest in dance when her daughter was a teenager and served on the board of trustees at Juilliard.

She and her siblings have consistently been listed as some of the wealthiest individuals on the Forbes 400 list.

The Kaos yacht, previously known as Jubilee and Al Menwar, is an award-winning superyacht that recently underwent a complete interior redesign.

The interior, originally designed by Sam Sorgiovanni, was made wheelchair accessible during the refit.

The yacht can accommodate 31 guests in 16 cabins, including a luxurious owner's suite.

Yacht Bible reports that Kaos has a sleek and minimalist design, incorporating curved lines, glass, and metal elements.

The exterior, designed by Lobanov Design, creates optical illusions with its glass fronts and features a swimming pool, jacuzzi, helipad, and extendable swimming platform.

The yacht is equipped with modern lighting and stabilizers and carries tenders and various water toys.

Originally built for the former Emir of Qatar , the yacht was later sold to Nancy Walton Laurie, who renamed it Kaos and had it refitted in 2020.

Boat of the Week: Inside ‘Secret,’ the Lavish 271-Foot Superyacht Owned by Walmart Heiress Nancy Walton Laurie

Walmart heiress nancy walton laurie's 271-footer has an eclectic interior of black and gold, along with splashes of red, as well as other, well, secrets., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

It would take the sale of approximately 5.75 million HP ink cartridges to fund the $92 million purchase of superyacht Secret , currently listed for sale with Burgess. The ink cartridges were one of Walmart’s top-selling products in 2021, and might well have contributed to a successful year of yachting for Secret ’s owner, Walmart heiress and philanthropist Nancy Walton Laurie.

As the largest yacht on display at last month’s MYBA Charter Show in Barcelona, and one of three yachts reportedly owned by Laurie, the 271-foot beauty built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2013 provides some insight into the family’s tastes and preferences.

The main salon’s bold color scheme by interior designer Jim Harris mixes pillar-box red sofas and carpets with ornate gold wall art. It’s a brave step change from the neutral beige and gray tones often selected by owners, typically with resale value in mind.

The designers also moved the formal dining room to the upper deck, leaving a large entertaining space to watch sports and socialize. A monochrome marble bar with a glass backdrop, views to the main deck aft and an onboard mixologist all help to set the tone. When it comes onboard socializing, Secret pulls no punches.

Guests arrive via the lower deck beach club or the main deck side entrance, where luggage can be ushered into the color-coded lower deck guest cabins. There are some unusual perks to being a guest aboard Secret . Heated bathroom floors feature across all guest suites, while guest mattresses are singles that zip together into doubles for greater flexibility.

The upper-deck, full-beam master suite, named Chanel to reflect the black-and-champagne silk color scheme, is highly personalized. Separate his and her en suites have their own amenities: Hers has a full-sized bath, and his has higher countertops to accommodate former basketball player and owner Bill Laurie’s 6’ 4” height. Both have steam showers. The private office is considerably smaller than the VIP office to accommodate the owner’s request for an oversized walk-in wardrobe.

The most surprising area on board is the “Valentina” main deck VIP guest suite, named after the Valentina-inspired white spiked headboard. The master has sea views and a private terrace, but the full-beam VIP, decorated and claimed by Laurie’s adult daughter when her family is on board, is arguably the superior option. It shares the same footprint as the master but enjoys a greater attention to detail. The ensuite, decorated in black-and-white stripes, has two day heads—one with bidet—and a central wet room fitted with a shower and full-sized bathtub.

The monochrome décor is echoed throughout the yacht, from the upper-deck sky lounge to the guest hallways. In the 12-person cinema, red Porsche leather armchairs are mirrored in the leather ceiling panels. The dedicated treatment room enjoys an onboard beautician and masseuse who specializes in hot Swedish massage.

A glass elevator connects the lower deck to the bridge deck, where an indoor glass-fronted gym and outdoor pool are located. For sundown soaks, the sun deck Jacuzzi ticks the box.

Last refitted in 2018, the yacht started out life at 256 feet, with an additional 16 feet added to accommodate the owner’s choice of an aft deck dining table. It’s the preferred space to enjoy buffet-style breakfasts, protected from view by high bulwarks. Further al fresco dining for 14 people is available on the lower deck beach club, where a “dining under the stars” themed evening sees guests enjoy meals at the water’s edge beneath a blanket of twinkling LEDs and real constellations above.

For families and guests with a competitive spirit, the beach club, equipped with changing rooms and rain showers, is the center of watersports action. A serious collection of toys, including kneeboards, flyboards, trampolines and towables are matched by an inflatable assault course erected by the crew for “Sports Olympics.” The addition of a female water-sports instructor has proven popular with charter guests.  When the weather’s bad, the karaoke system comes to the rescue.

It’s no secret that smaller yachts in the 190-foot size range are proving more popular on the global charter market at present, preferred for their ability to access smaller ports and anchor close to shore. But Secret pulls out all the stops for guests looking to enjoy time aboard a yacht maxed out with amenities and personality, provided in a covert setting. All in all, definitely worth the printer cartridges.

Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie’s super yacht, KAOS, is on its way up the Thames to dock in London.

The 361-foot craft was spotted off Sheerness earlier today. The stunning yacht originally built by superyacht specialists Oceanco for the late Emir of Qatar, who named it Jubilee.

Following the Emir’s death, the yacht Jubilee was put up for sale, with an asking price of €275million or around £240m.

Current owner Laurie is one of the world’s richest people. The younger daughter of Bud Walton, the brother and business partner of Walmart founder Sam Walton, she and her sister inherited a stake in the company worth some $9billion (£7.28bn).

And the heiress has spent some of her fortune on a spectacular yacht. The value of KAOS has been estimated at around $300m (£242m), with annual running costs in the region of $30m (£24m).

KAOS boasts a spectacularly sleek exterior designed by Igor Lobanov and luxurious interiors created by Sam Sorgiovanni.

There’s space for around 30 guests in the yacht’s 15 spacious cabins, and there’s also accommodation for a crew of 45.

This extraordinary superyacht features a Jacuzzi and a swimming pool, and if it’s too chilly to be out on deck swimming there’s a cinema, spa and aquarium below decks.

As well as the essential helicopter pad, KAOS also has a majelis area. The majelis, an Arabic term meaning "sitting room,” harks back to the yacht’s original owner and is a unique feature on a yacht of this size.

KAOS is currently the 56th largest private yacht in the world.

At 110 metres (361ft) and 4,523 tons, she was the biggest yacht to have been built in the Netherlands at the time of her launch in 2017.

The steel and aluminium craft is powered by 2 MTU engines with a combined power of 9656hp, which gives her a top speed of 15 knots. The yacht carries 391,000 litres of fuel on board, giving her a range of around 5,000 nautical miles.

KAOS carries the most marble and stone ever installed on a yacht, and is – according to specialist Yacht News site Luxury Launches, is "as silent as a stealth warship".

Laurie's old superyacht, Secret, was a meagre 271ft long, and only had room for 14 guests and 16 crew.

Built by German shipwrights Abeking & Rasmussen, it also boasted exterior finishing by Sam Sorgiovanni.

Mega-yacht Reportedly Belonging to Walmart Heiress Vandalized by Activists in Ibiza — See the Photo

An environmental group, Futuro Vegetal, claimed responsibility for the act and said they were protesting the “eco-social collapse” caused by the mega-rich

Amer Ghazzal/Alamy

A group of Spanish environmental activists spray-painted a yacht in Ibiza on Sunday that reportedly belongs to Nancy Walton Laurie, the billionaire heiress of Walmart.

Activists from a group called Futuro Vegetal group posted photos on Twitter showing protestors standing in front of the mega-yacht named “Kaos,” holding a banner that says: “You Consume, Others Suffer.” The vessel was sprayed with red and black paint from fire extinguishers.

The caption of the post, translated to English, said, “We spray paint using fire extinguishers against the 300 million euro mega-yacht of Nancy Walton, heiress to #Walmart and one of the richest women in the world with a fortune of 8.7 billion dollars 🧯”

According to Forbes , Laurie — who inherited a stake in the Walmart chain from her father James Lawrence "Bud" Walton in 1995 — is worth around $8 billion. The 361-foot luxury yacht is worth $300 million and contains a movie theater and spa facilities, Insider reported. Numerous yachting trade publications cite the one-of-a-kind ship as belonging to Laurie.

The activists also posted video of the vandalism occurring on Twitter . In the clip, crew members on board at the time can be seen running across the deck and unsuccessfully trying to hose off the paint.

"The richest 1 percent of the world population pollutes more than the poorest 50 percent, They are condemning us to a future of pain, misery and desolation," they say in the footage, translated from Spanish.

In an Instagram post, they wrote that the destruction “puts the finishing touch to the campaign — which they called “Jets and Yachts, the party is over” — and tagged the Extinction Rebellion Ibiza page.

“The only reason we continue to maintain an economic system that leads to eco-social collapse is to sustain the privileges of this small privileged class,” they continued in the caption. “The mega-rich live on the suffering of others. It is the people at the top of the social pyramid who put all life on the planet at their service, forcing us to work to sustain their system, exploiting animals and destroying territory no matter how much suffering and death it entails 💀.”

The two protesters in the photos were detained on Sunday morning and expected to be released on Monday, the group said. 

The activists spray painted a private jet at Ibiza’s airport on Friday, CNN reported.

On the Futuro Vegetal website , the group says they aim “to change the ethics of abundance, the way of producing and consuming, focusing on food security and land redistribution. The fight against the Climate Crisis has to be the number one priority.”

Inside Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie’s £240million superyacht with helipad and gold art as it docks in UK

• Sarah Hooper

• Published : Invalid Date,

A MULTI-MILLION pound superyacht has been spotted cruising into the Thames yesterday as its owner prepares to dock it in London.

Superyacht Kaos, belonging to Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, is worth £241million, and boasts a jaw dropping interior.

The vessel was seen sailing near Sheerness this morning as stunned passer-bys filmed the mammoth ship.

The yacht was built in 2017 by Oceanco, the same company which made Jeff Bezos £400million super yacht.

Photos of the yacht reveal a stunning interior, fit with a full swimming pool, dining area and room for a smaller boat.

The lounge area has gold ceilings, with dark wood features and marble bathrooms.

The 360foot long vessel has a helipad as well as a large circle marble dining table, and custom-made banisters.

It also has a full aquarium, cinema and spa facilities.

Multiple decks allow plenty of room for sunbathing on the white plush couches and chairs.

The top deck even has a jacuzzi for those onboard to relax in.

Laurie previously owned another superyacht called Secret, and was worth

At 271feet, it's smaller than its sister ship Kaos, but equally as stunning.

The gold wall art is a far cry from the muted tones of Kaos, but fits the luxury of Laurie's lifestyle.

Heated bathroom floors are a standard on the yacht, and the master has two en suite bathrooms.

The boat also has a glass elevator, 12-person cinema, and onboard massage parlor.

It even has a bar inside called "The London bar", featuring smoke machines, a DJ booth and water wall chandelier.

Coincidentally, Laurie's superyacht Kaos is estimated to dock in the city of London later this afternoon.

Laurie is the youngest daughter of Bud Walton, who's brother Sam began what would become the world's largest retail store.

The first-ever  Walmart  store opened in July 1962 in  Arkansas , and the heirs own around 50 percent of the stock collectively.

Also that year, the Walton family took a huge financial hit after Walmart's share price plummeted by 10 percent in 2022.

The fall in shares due to the company's sale of its operations in the UK and  Japan  and a cut in profit expectations, saw the heirs lose over $27billion.

The Ferretti Group, one of the world top companies specializing in the design, building and sale of motor yachts, with an amazing portfolio of eight of the most exclusive and prominent brands, is thrilled to announce its participation in the Moscow Boat Show 2013. From 12 to 17 March, two of the Group fleet’s most successful yachts will be presented as absolute premieres for the Russian market: motor yacht Ferretti 530, representing Ferretti Yachts , and the 27-foot Iseo superyacht tender by Riva .

Ferretti 530 Yacht to make her Russian premiere at Moscow Boat Show

This year’s Moscow Boat Show will also offer the Ferretti Group the opportunity to announce all yachting enthusiasts in Russia and Northern Eurasia a new important achievement in its international growth: the renewal of its exclusive dealership agreement for the Russian Federation with its partner Premium Yachts , one of the leading dealers operating in the boating sector in Russia , which will represent the Ferretti Yachts , Pershing , Itama , Bertram , Riva e Mochi Craft and Ferretti Custom Line brands.

The agreement – which was officially announced today during a press conference attended, among others, by Ferruccio Rossi (Ferretti Group’s CEO), Alexey Kurochkin (Premium Yachts’s President), and Stefano Campanelli (Sales Manager for the EMEA area for Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Bertram, Riva, Mochi Craft and Ferretti Custom Line) – is part of Ferretti Group’s strategy for a further expansion on the European markets offering the best short/medium-term growth perspectives, also thanks to the financial soundness regained following the strategic partnership forged with the Weichai Group.

More specifically, the Russian boating market holds a great potential for the Ferretti Group’s development because of the rapid growth of average wealth among the population and an increasing interest for Made in Italy luxury goods, like Ferretti Group yachts.

Through the renewal of the agreement with Premium Yachts, the Group will further strengthen its highly selected distribution network – which currently includes approximately 60 dealers ensuring the best possible customer care in more than 80 countries worldwide – as well as its presence in the traditional EMEA ( Europe , Middle East , Africa ) area, one of the three macro-regions (besides the America and the Asia-Pacific) into which the Group’s sales structure is divided.

Moreover, in a medium/long-term perspective, the Ferretti Group is expecting an increasing interest on the Russian market not only for flying bridge yachts above 70’ in length, but also towards smaller crafts, both flybridge and open/coupé ones, which are particularly suitable for river cruising or pleasure boating in Russia’s large lakes. Consequently, the renewal of the dealership agreement with Premium Yachts also allows to look ahead at the future aiming to conquer new market segments where less competitors are currently present in terms of both products and geographic location.

The press conference, which was held today at the Lotte Hotel in Moscow, had also the objective of introducing attending journalists and yachting enthusiasts to the main new products launched by the Ferretti Group over the last few months, namely: motor yacht Ferretti 870 , Ferretti 690 yacht , and the project of the new flagship Ferretti 960 superyacht for the Ferretti Yachts brand; luxury yacht Pershing 82 ’ and superyacht Pershing 108’ New Edition for Pershing; Riva 63’ Virtus and the project of the new Riva flagship, 122’ Mythos yacht , as well as the entire range of the Itama, Bertram and Mochi Craft brands.

The yachts launched over the last few months by CRN – the Group’s brand specialising in the construction of steel and aluminium yachts between 40 and 90 metres – were also presented during the conference: the two superyachts: CRN superyacht Jade (60 metres long) and CRN mega yacht Chopi Chopi (80 metres long), the latter being one of the largest pleasure vessels ever built in Italy and the largest one ever built by the Ancona-based shipyard.

“The renewal of our dealership agreement with an important partner like Premium Yachts – which has worked on the Russian market for almost 10 years and can boast an outstanding product knowledge and an excellent local market penetration – and the presentation of the Group’s latest models are an integral part of our development strategy on the EMEA markets offering the best growth perspectives in the short-medium term,” stated Ferruccio Rossi, Ferretti Group’s CEO. “The Moscow Boat Show 2013, which has now reached its sixth edition, will extend over approximately 45,000 square metres this year and will be attended by more than 350 international boating companies. This Show represents an interesting business opportunity for us and an unmissable event in terms of visibility, since we are identifying a considerable growth potential in this area thanks to the timeless attractiveness of our products – true ambassadors of Made in Italy production all over the world”.
