Shocking Details and Extravagance You Can’t Miss—See Inside the Star-Studded Event That Has the Entire Entertainment Industry on Edge. Don’t Miss Out!

Jeff Bezos – the founder of Amazon and currently the third richest person in the world with a fortune of about $221 billion – is preparing to hold a wedding with Lauren Sánchez, a former American broadcaster and businesswoman. The event, which took place from June 24-26 in Venice, Italy, was called the “wedding of the century” by the international media because of its extravagance, grandeur and a series of famous personalities.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez met for the first time at an Amazon Studios party in 2016.

Three-day wedding in Venice, locals protest

According to information from CNN, the wedding will be held on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore – an iconic cultural site in Venice. The city has confirmed that it is supporting the logistics of the wedding, with an expected guest list of about 200 people, including entertainment stars, politicians and global influencers.

However, the event also divided the people of Venice. Some argue that this wedding is disturbing, increasing pressure on the city’s infrastructure, which is already overloaded by tourism. Many protest banners carrying the message “No Space for Bezos” were hung everywhere, calling for the protection of “city dignity”. Meanwhile, the local government expressed optimism, stressing that events like this could bring tens of millions of euros to the local economy.

Lauren Sánchez wears 27 wedding suits, travels by superyacht and water taxi

A notable highlight of the wedding was Lauren Sánchez’s wedding fashion collection. The 56-year-old female MC is expected to change 27 dresses from famous fashion houses such as Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana… All were transported by Abeona – an auxiliary yacht with a helipad, accompanied by Jeff Bezos’ $500 million Koru superyacht.

Not only that, the couple also rented 35-50 water taxis to transport passengers. The high-end hotel system in Venice was booked many weeks ago, including suites that are among the most expensive in the city. The total cost of organizing a wedding is estimated to be around 16 million USD, including:

3 million USD for the organizing team
$2 million in venue rental
1 million USD decoration – fresh flowers
$1.5 million for wedding dresses
$1 million in food service

Along with many other expenses such as makeup, hairdressing, guest gifts, travel expenses…

Once proposed on a yacht with a 30-carat diamond ring

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez started dating in 2019, after they both divorced. They were publicly engaged in May 2023, while on vacation in Amalfi, Italy. Jeff proposed to Lauren with a 30-carat pink diamond ring, worth about $2.5 million, hidden under his pillow. “When he opened the box, I was stunned,” Lauren said in an interview with Vogue.

Previously, the female MC also held a bachelorette party in Paris with an all-star cast of A-list guests: Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Eva Longoria, Katy Perry… Activities include a champagne cruise along the Seine, fine dining and walking the streets with mini bags that have gone viral on social media.

Second marriage, large family

Jeff Bezos, 61, is married to MacKenzie Scott and has four children. Lauren Sánchez has three stepchildren, including Nikko (son of Tony Gonzalez) and two children with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. The two now live together as a large family, once sharing that they attach great importance to the moments of gathering with their children.

Media compares to the Ambani wedding

Many websites call this the “European” version of the Ambani wedding – an Indian billionaire family that once held a wedding that lasted for weeks with the presence of Rihanna, Justin Bieber and a cast of famous artists. However, Bezos’ wedding may be more discreet in terms of image, but the grandeur is not inferior.

Currently, all preparations are being carried out under highly secure conditions. It’s unclear if any of the ceremonies will be livestreamed, but one thing is for sure: all eyes are on Venice, where one of the most lavish and controversial weddings of 2025 is set to take place.
