Venice, June 28 (V7N) - In classic billionaire fashion, Jeff Bezos, 61, the founder of Amazon and one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, has officially married his longtime partner, Lauren Sánchez, 55, in a grand three-day wedding celebration held in Venice, Italy.
 
The wedding took place on June 27, drawing a high-profile guest list of roughly 200 to 250 attendees, according to Reuters. The star-studded affair included some of the world’s most prominent celebrities and power players. Among those in attendance were Academy Award winners, NFL legend Tom Brady, Queen Rania of Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Fashion icon Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana also joined the elite guest list.
 
The three-day extravaganza featured exclusive events held across historic Venetian venues, with a ceremony that merged opulence and privacy—hallmarks of Bezos' public life in recent years. The couple’s wedding attire, event décor, and musical performances reflected a fusion of luxury and personal elegance, marking the occasion as one of the most talked-about celebrity unions of the year.
 
Bezos and Sánchez, a journalist and former TV anchor, had been publicly linked since 2019 and got engaged in 2023. Their relationship has drawn intense media attention, not only for their public appearances but also for their combined influence in media, aerospace, and philanthropy.
 
While the focus of the weekend remained on the newlyweds, public interest also reignited in Bezos’ previous marriage to MacKenzie Scott, 55, an influential philanthropist and author. The couple divorced in 2019 after 25 years of marriage, with Scott receiving a significant share of Amazon stock. Since then, she has gained international recognition for her large-scale charitable giving, donating billions to education, racial equity, and women’s causes.
 
Bezos’ wedding to Sánchez marks a new chapter for the tech mogul, whose ventures now span Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and numerous philanthropic efforts. Observers say the wedding symbolizes not only personal fulfillment but also the consolidation of one of the most high-profile power couples in global media and business.
