Laurie's superyacht is estimated to dock in London later this afternoon, according to the Sun.
Laurie is the youngest daughter of Bud Walton, the brother of Sam Walton and co-founder of Walmart, the world's largest retail store. She inherited a stake in Walmart from her father Bud when he died in 1995.
She is estimated to be worth around £6.7billion.
It is not yet known why the billionaire's superyacht has been moored off of Shoebury.
