Walmart Heiress Unveils $300 Million Yacht

Nancy Walton Laurie, heir to the Walmart fortune, has revealed her $300 million superyacht, Kaos, which is the largest yacht owned by a woman. Purchased in 2018 from the Qatari royal family, the yacht underwent significant transformation at Oceanco shipyard, expanding from 262 feet to 361 feet, marking it as Oceanco's largest build and the biggest yacht ever constructed in the Netherlands. Kaos can accommodate 34 guests and features luxurious amenities including a massive swimming pool, a private owner's deck, an aquarium in the beach club, and an upscale lounge named 'The London Bar.' The yacht's previous ownership was marked by restrictive spaces that were off-limits to women, but under Walton Laurie's ownership, it has been reimagined as a symbol of modern female empowerment. The vessel's opulence stands in stark contrast to its past, showcasing Walton Laurie's influence in reshaping its narrative. Additionally, the yacht has made headlines due to its vandalism by climate activists while docked in Ibiza.
