Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Marry in Lavish Venice Ceremony.
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, and journalist Laur
en Sanchez were married on Friday during an elaborate ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore, a scenic island in Venice, Italy. The event drew a host of high-profile guests from around the world.
Sanchez shared a photo of herself on Instagram in a flowing white gown, now using the handle “laurensanchezbezos.” Bezos, 61, wore a classic black-tie ensemble. The couple is staying at the luxurious Aman Hotel, a restored 16th-century palace on the Grand Canal, while many of their celebrity guests are lodged at the nearby Gritti Palace and St. Regis.
The multi-day celebration is expected to conclude with a party at Venice’s historic Arsenale, once a powerful naval shipyard. This marks the second marriage for both Bezos and Sanchez. Bezos was previously married to author MacKenzie Scott, while Sanchez was married to businessman Patrick Whitesell.
The event sparked both admiration and controversy. Environmental and local activists raised concerns about the environmental impact of the festivities, including the use of private jets and yachts. Critics also highlighted Venice’s ongoing challenges with overtourism and rising living costs pushing out longtime residents.
Despite the criticism, Italian officials have noted the economic boost from the high-profile wedding. The tourism ministry projects that nearly one billion euros will be generated, primarily through global media attention. Additionally, the newlyweds are donating €3 million (approximately \$3.5 million) to the city of Venice, according to regional governor Luca Zaia.
