In just a year, Mark Zuckerberg has sold one of his support vessels to Walmart heiress Nancy Walton. The 220-foot-long Kalm will carry a three-seat submarine, a helicopter, a dive center, and jet skis, and will follow the 74-year-old billionaire’s massive $300 million superyacht

Someone wise once said that after chaos comes a calm. That has been particularly true in the case of Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, who owns the superyacht Kaos and now a support vessel called Kalm. The support vessel was previously owned by tech tycoon Mark Zuckerberg and was called Wingman. The $30 million Damen Yachting vessel was, in fact, the perfect wingman for the mothership Launchpad. It trailed the 387-foot Feadship vessel loyally and diligently through Tahiti, the Scandinavian Arctic, and the Mediterranean. It was at La Ciotat that Wingman’s job as Launchpad’s support vessel came to an end, and a new, calmer chapter commenced. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has bestowed the title of Launchpad’s wingman on the world’s most expensive support ship, the $100 million U-81.


The Yacht Report stated that the support vessel of the $300 million Kaos, Kalm, will head into a new phase, primed and brimming with a new identity for the billionaire who owns the largest superyacht owned by a woman. With Kalm, Walton Laurie will set another precedent by leading the club of women who pair a megayacht with a dedicated support vessel (and is perhaps its only member). The shadow vessel will, in all probability, join the Kaos yacht in San Juan, where she is anchored currently. Interestingly, in a span of about 12 months, the former Dapple has gone through three billionaire owners, but this is the first time she has landed in the possession of a woman. The sale price of Kalm has not been divulged, adding yet another layer of quiet intrigue to her transition from one high-profile owner to the next.

Kalm for and after the Kaos-

Delivered nearly 11 years ago, this Damen Yachting beauty spans 220 feet. The ship has 3 cabins for 6 guests and 20 crew, though Kaos is the primary base with nearly 16 cabins and space for 31 guests. The purpose of Kalm will, in all probability, be providing ample space for additional toys and tenders. She already boasts a decompression chamber on board and an excellent dive centre. Powered by 4 diesel MTU engines, she reaches a maximum speed of 22 knots with a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles from her 340,000-gallon fuel tanks at 15 knots. Her water tanks store around 44,918 gallons of fresh water.

The $300 million mothership Kaos-

This Oceanco mammoth looks regal because it was meant to be the floating home of a Middle Eastern royal, then Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Abdullah bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani. It is now owned by the 74-year-old American uncrowned royalty, a Walton billionairess, and is a 361-foot masterpiece.

The $300 million floating palace, as it should rightly be dubbed, was created with an innate passion by Sam Sorgiovanni, who played with luxurious materials like Crystal Caviar insets, silk carpets, Iranian white onyx, and Golden Spider stone. Kaos is indeed extraordinary in its appeal, refit by Reymond Langton Design, who kept the extravagant touches while lending her a cosmopolitan vibe inspired by the city of Casablanca, blending Arabian and European cultures.

This impressive four-decker features a massive swimming pool elevated above the beach club. An aquarium, located within the beach club, offers a captivating view into the pool above. Kaos already has a dedicated helipad, but perhaps one is not enough for an art-loving billionaire worth almost $17 billion.

The luxury vessel also includes a 12-person cinema, a massage parlour, a hammam, a gym, and a unique and inviting space christened “The London Bar,” complete with smoke machines, a DJ booth, and a water-wall chandelier. The yacht also features a separate gym for the crew and a small medical facility for in-sea medical emergencies.
