Luxury on Water That Will Blow Your Mind!
Have you ever seen a yacht over 100 meters long and almost 17 meters wide? Now you can! The superyacht “Kaos,” worth around 300 million dollars, has anchored at Lokrum and immediately stirred up a storm of comments. The owner? Nancy Walton Laurie, an American billionaire heiress of the Walmart empire.
Why is this yacht special?
Built at the prestigious Oceanco shipyard in the Netherlands, it was originally owned by a Qatari emir but was sold to Walton after his death. Powered by two powerful MTU diesel engines with a total output of 7,000 kW, this yacht can cruise at speeds up to 18.5 knots.
Luxury at every turn
The yacht can accommodate 31 guests in 15 cabins, including master and VIP suites, while a crew of 45 ensures top-notch service. The exterior was designed by Igor Lobanov, and the interior by the Australian Reymond Langton Design studio, which adapted the space for people with disabilities.
The interior boasts a classic style with modern luxury details. It features a swimming pool, spa area with sauna and hammam, fitness center, cinema, panoramic elevator, helipad, and a luxury beach club on the aft deck.
Where does it sail and how much does it cost?
“Kaos” regularly cruises the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, attracting attention due to its size and opulence. Annual maintenance costs can reach a staggering 30 million dollars!
Who is Nancy Walton Laurie?
Born in 1949, Nancy is an heiress to the Walmart fortune. Her net worth is estimated between 9 and 15 billion dollars. Besides being a billionaire, Nancy is a philanthropist, art lover, and founder of a dance group in New York.
Why does this make us mad?
While ordinary people save for basic needs, such examples of luxury overshadow real societal problems. Spending 30 million dollars a year just to maintain a yacht while millions live in uncertainty? That’s the real “chaos” of injustice.
