"Climate Activists Target Walmart Heiress' Superyacht with Second Paint Attack"

Climate activists from Scientist Rebellion and Extinction Rebellion Spain vandalized billionaire Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie's $300 million superyacht in Barcelona for the second time, spraying it with red paint and unfurling a banner that read "Billionaires should not exist." The activists aimed to denounce the impact of billionaires on the climate crisis and highlight the unsustainable lifestyle represented by mega-yachts. The paint used was biodegradable. The same yacht was previously targeted by activists with Futuro Vegetal, who painted it with red and black spray paint while it was docked in Ibiza.
