The Luxurious Wedding Portrait of Jeff Bezos in Venice Draws Attention, As the Love Story of the Tycoon Becomes an Environmental Controversy

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, has just officially married his beloved, Lauren Sanchez, in a super luxurious wedding held in the romantic city of Venice. Lauren Sanchez, a former presenter and helicopter pilot, has been in a relationship with Bezos since 2019, shortly after the Amazon founder divorced MacKenzie Scott. They announced their engagement in May 2023, and two years later, they brought their love story to life in an unforgettable celebration for the media, fans, and local residents.

However, behind the grandeur and world-class celebrity guests, this sacred moment turned out to harbor a number of controversies that have been widely discussed by local residents and environmental activists.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot on June 27, 2025, at the magnificent San Giorgio Maggiore church, a beautiful island in the middle of the Venice lagoon. The wedding became the center of global attention, lasting for three consecutive days with various party themes, from a starry pajama night to a noble masquerade ball.

Without holding back, hundreds of special guests attended, including Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, and the Kardashian-Jenner family.

Unfortunately, the lavish party was not entirely welcomed. The residents of Venice staged protests, stating that Bezos's party worsened environmental conditions and exacerbated tourism congestion.

Although Bezos donated 3 million euros (around IDR 51 billion) to the city, some residents felt that it was not comparable to the potential damage to the ecosystem that could be caused.

Protests came from activists of the No Grandi Navi movement and local residents who reject their city becoming a celebrity stage.

Not only parties and controversies, Bezos's personal life is indeed full of spotlight. The man born on January 12, 1964, is known as the founder of Amazon since 1994, which he started from his garage.

He now also oversees Blue Origin (a space company), owns The Washington Post, and is active in the world of philanthropy. With a wealth of over USD 220 billion (around IDR 3,571 trillion), Bezos is a symbol of a new era of successful, glamorous, and intriguing capitalism and technology.

This time, Bezos's marriage shows one thing in the world of billionaires: love can also be a global spectacle. But as seen in the canals of Venice, not everyone is dazzled by the luxury left behind.
