Walmart heiress sisters’ starkly different billionaire lives: Nancy Walton Laurie’s $300 million superyacht Kaos vs Ann Walton Kroenke’s 510,527-acre Texas ranch, 13 times the size of Washington DC

The Walton family fortune has given its heirs access to some extraordinary luxuries, but sisters Nancy Walton Laurie and Ann Walton Kroenke have chosen very different ways to enjoy their wealth.

Laurie is known for Kaos, her estimated $300 million superyacht that cruises around the Mediterranean. Her older sister, Kroenke, shares ownership of something far larger on land: the 510,527-acre Waggoner Ranch in Texas, one of the biggest ranching properties in the US.

Ann Walton Kroenke’s massive Texas ranch

The Waggoner Ranch stretches across six Texas counties and is the largest ranch enclosed by a single fence. Its 510,527 acres are roughly 13 times the size of Washington, DC.

The property includes lakes, oil wells, cattle, horses, wildlife, private roads and cowboy camps and also has a historic cattle brand dating back to 1849.
