Stayin’ Alive
Jeff Bezos, the mega-billionaire founding father of Amazon and one of many world’s richest males, is marrying his longtime girlfriend and “alive girl” Lauren Sánchez this month in what many have dubbed the “wedding ceremony of the century.”
The lavish three-day bonanza has been shrouded in secrecy, however Bezos, Sánchez, and a visitor record of about 200 — with company starting from Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to Sánchez’s fellow glamstronaut Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, and plenty of others — are anticipated to descend on Venice, Italy within the coming days for the opulent nuptials.
The marriage, although, wasn’t initially meant to happen in Venice. It was initially deliberate for wintertime in Aspen — however, according to Vanity Fair, some lingering monetary trauma from Bezos’ first divorce pushed the pleased couple’s weekend again just a few months.
Bezos and his first spouse, the novelist MacKenzie Scott, had been married again in 1993; Scott helped get Amazon off the bottom, however their 25-year union led to 2019 after the tabloid The Enquirer published leaked sexts between Bezos and Sánchez — a tv journalist and founding father of an aerial manufacturing firm — revealing their romantic affair (Sánchez’s estranged brother famously took the sexts to the press.) The Bezos-Scott separation turned one of many highest-dollar divorces in history, fracturing the pair’s fortune and leaving Scott with tens of billions of {dollars} and Amazon shares.
Per Vainness Honest, it appears that evidently Bezos does not wish to repeat historical past, with an “insider” telling the journal that the Aspen wedding ceremony plans had been modified as a result of the pair’s prenuptial authorized papers weren’t fairly prepared.
“After Bezos’ divorce from MacKenzie Scott — one of many costliest separations in historical past, which awarded her $38 billion-plus in Amazon shares — his attorneys labored for months to attract up ironclad papers,” Vainness Honest’s Beth Landman writes.
Foam-O
The $10 million Venetian affair is not with out its personal drama. In keeping with Vainness Honest, company are complaining that “each second is overplanned” they usually’ll hardly have any free time.
Numerous individuals who truly reside in Venice, in the meantime, are reported to be livid in regards to the state of their metropolis: the betrothed couple has rented out a number of luxe motels and was rumored to be planning to parade by way of the town’s well-known canals. Protests are planned, and Reuters reported today that the marriage get together has been moved to a extra remoted location amid safety considerations.
The pleased couple, in the meantime, who held a foam party on their yacht over the weekend, does not seem like letting the controversy get them down.
