MARBELLA’s port has welcomed a duo of luxury yachts owned by American superstore beneficiary during her Mediterranean voyage.
The heir to US megastore chain Walmart just dropped anchor in Marbella’s Puerto Banus.
Nancy Walton Laurie, American businesswoman and philanthropist, brought her €300 million superyacht and its accompanying support vessel worth €30 million into Costa del Sol waters this week.
Dubbed as Kaos and Kalm, the two ships were filmed coasting outside of Puerto Banus’ harbour on Wednesday afternoon.
The 67 metre support ship called Kalm was shown in a video reversing out of the marina, since it was too big to fully turn around from inside the port.
Kaos is a 110.1 metre luxury megayacht that’s about as nice as a floating palace.
The 361-foot masterpiece mothership spans four levels with 16 cabins with enough space for 31 guests.
Kaos has its own beach club, helipad and aquarium.
On board the colossal ship is also a 12-person movie theatre, massage parlour, hammam, gym, and separate spaces for the crew.
Those lucky enough to board the four-decker vessel can enter ‘The London Bar,’ fully equipped with a DJ booth, smoke machines and a water-wall chandelier.
Built in 2014 by esteemed ship craftsman Damen, a passion project brought on by exclusive yacht designer Sam Sorgiovanni.
The mammoth ship is brought together by high-class materials like Crystal Caviar insets, silk carpets, Golden Spider stone and Iranian white onyx.
Inspiration is said to come from Casablanca and blend together both Arabian and European cultures.
The 74-year-old set the precedent by becoming one of the few women who not only owns a megayacht, but has paired it with a dedicated support vessel.
The Kalm to the Kaos was established as a shadow ship that follows its leader around, reaching 22 knots with a 340,000-gallon fuel tank.
The additional ship holds Laurie’s collection of ski equipment, jet skis, helicopter, tenders, toys, and supposedly a submersible.
Kalm also provides a fully equipped medical facility on board.
Having now acquired both Kaos and Kalm, Laurie has the largest superyacht owned by a woman.
These ships have made their rounds already, with previous owners including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and co-founder of video game developer Valve, Gabe Newell.
Its former names were Dapple and Wingman.
Laurie is currently worth $19 billion according to Forbes, making her the 143rd richest person in the world.
Sisters Nancy and Ann received Walmart stock after their father Bud’s death in 1995, earning enough to make both siblings billionaires.
Bud Walton and his brother Sam established the retail giant in 1967 in Rogers, Arkansas.
