Jeff Bezos Needed a Tequila Fix—Venture Capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya Sent a Plane FULL of It to Venice

  • Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez married on June 27, 2025, in a private ceremony inside a 16th-century basilica on San Giorgio Maggiore island, Venice.
  • Their wedding followed a nearly two-year engagement and an extramarital affair, prompting public speculation about the marriage's longevity and financial agreements.
  • The three-day celebration featured approximately 200 celebrity guests, lavish events including a dance party headlined by Usher, and pear-shaped diamond jewelry worn by guests.
  • The estimated cost ranged from $47 million to $56 million, yet the sum represented less than 0.023 percent of Bezos' $244 billion net worth, while protests with slogans like “Kisses Yes, Bezos No” opposed the event.
  • The wedding highlighted social tensions in Venice over wealth disparity and environmental issues, as activists protested and criticisms noted a disconnect between extravagance and global hardships.
