Venice saw an extraordinary influx of luxury as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot on San Giorgio Maggiore island. The extravagant wedding drew global attention, not just for the couple’s union but for the scale of their guest arrivals. According to Corriere della Sera, at least 95 private planes sought landing clearance at Venice’s Marco Polo airport, while several mega yachts were stationed to ferry attendees.
Bezos, 61, wore a black tuxedo and bow tie, and Sanchez, 55, dazzled in a Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress. Their guest list looked like a Hollywood award show, with appearances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger, and Orlando Bloom. Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children were also among the high-profile attendees.
Reports suggest Venice’s most luxurious hotels were fully booked to host the couple’s elite guests, turning the historic city into a private celebration ground for the world’s wealthy and famous.
