Jeff Bezos Marries Lauren Sánchez in a $56 Million Venice Wedding
Jeff Bezos married Lauren Sánchez in grand style. The Amazon founder and his former TV anchor wife said “I do” on June 27 in historic Venice. They celebrated with A-list celebrities and splashed out $56 million on the event.
While the couple is undoubtedly on cloud nine, social media users say one thing—and it could cloud their joy.
Star-Studded Guest List Raises Eyebrows
Bezos and Sánchez invited an impressive guest list. NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady, actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney, Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, and nearly all the Kardashian-Jenners attended.
Not everyone accepted the invitation. Kourtney Kardashian snubbed the event. Former President Donald Trump also skipped it, though his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner were present.
Critics Question the “Friends” at the Wedding
Online critics attacked the guest list. Many claimed Bezos and Lauren don’t have real friends. Instead, they argued, the wedding was a status show.
One Twitter user wrote:
“I love how Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have no real friends. Why invite Sydney Sweeney and Ellie Goulding to your 200-person wedding?”
Another added:
“They invited Sydney Sweeney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady, but no real friends. It’s all about projecting status.”
Supporters Defend the Couple
Not everyone agreed with the criticism. Some pointed out that 200 guests is a big wedding.
One user joked:
“Nobody actually has 200 friends. People fill the list with distant relatives or acquaintances from years ago.”
Another wrote:
“If I had their money, I’d invite random celebs too! Why not send an invite to Beyoncé or Dakota Johnson?”
A Wedding That Sparked Debate
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Venice wedding turned heads. Between the star-studded guest list and the hefty $56 million price tag, opinions online split sharply.
Some saw it as a glamorous celebration. Others viewed it as a status play. Either way, the event left no shortage of chatter.
