Jeff Bezos' wedding: you would almost send a drone to it

Of course, I understand that when Jeff Bezos gets married, different amounts are at play than when I say ‘yes’ once. He is one of the richest men in the world (especially now that Elon is watching all his billions evaporate) and he loves to show off. The wedding of Jeff Bezos is not a party, it is a total takeover. In this case of Venice, because that is the icing on the cake of romance. Because if you are a billionaire and your girlfriend Lauren Sánchez is a former news anchor and helicopter pilot slash glamazon, then you don't do it in the community center with a bitter garnish. No, you charter the city of love and calmly close off a square as if it were a living room.

Just about that move of Jeff Bezos

Just to place the absurdity of the Bezos family's life; this week some new furniture was delivered to the New York penthouse of the happy couple. For that, a complete intersection was closed off and I believe five enormous cranes were deployed. Nothing special in the Bezos household.

A wedding with a price tag of at least 20 million

The wedding of Jeff Bezos is reportedly going to cost at least 20 million dollars although some insiders (I love that word) say it quickly creeps towards 45 million. The location? The Palazzo Ducale. Yes, the Doge's Palace. Where normally thousands of tourists take selfies every day, now there are garlands of peonies hanging and you stumble over the security with earpieces. Jeff's yacht - named Koru, at 127 meters also the largest sailing yacht in the world - will anchor in the lagoon of Venice and from there excursions and day trips will be made. It will all happen from June 24 to 26 and will be the biggest wedding since George and Amal Clooney said ‘Yes, very much’ to each other.

Venetian anger: ‘Our city is not a private party’

Residents are fed up. After years of groaning under the masses of tourists - which they try to combat by charging an entry fee when you enter the city - the city is now also being ‘hijacked’ by an American billionaire who has little in common with the refined Italians. “Venice is not a film set or private resort,” the newspapers headlined.

When will we see everything?

Vogue has the honor of publishing all the images and Anna Wintour is thick as thieves with Lauren Sanchez. She helped her choose the wedding dress and it just happens to be from Oscar de la Renta, a brand with which Anna also has warm ties. Anna Wintour was often a guest at Oscar de la Renta's estate and loves his classic yet exuberant signature.

The guest list for Jeff Bezos’ wedding?

So many celebrities are coming that you would think it's an award show instead of a wedding. Oprah will be there - because best friends with everyone who matters and of course Gayle because Gayle is Lauren's fresh space-sister. Just like Katy Perry who is also coming and will immediately bring her husband Orlando Bloom. Then the Trumps will come - they are in the area because of the NATO summit in The Hague - Barbra Streisand, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eva Longoria, Karlie Kloss, Kim Kardashian and so on. I am very curious how the meeting between Melania Trump and Anna Wintour will be because Anna is a Democrat through and through and had no interest in putting Melania on the cover of Vogue. Ah, a wedding is not a wedding if there isn't a little bit of mutual animosity.

What does it cost?

It is said that it will cost between 11 and 25 million. For that, you and I would need to be on life support, but for Jeff Bezos, it's what he normally earns in 2 hours, so.

Was Jeff Bezos towed earlier?

Sure. His first wife was MacKenzie Tuttle, with whom he was together from 1992 to 2019 and with whom he had three sons and adopted a daughter. They separated because Jeff fell in love with Lauren Sanchez. As part of the divorce, his first wife received 4% of the shares of Amazon.com with a market value of a quite acceptable 38 billion.
