THE GUARDIAN: Nuptials of Amazon founder and former TV journalist to kick off on Thursday as activists continue to protest against event
The billionaire Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, and the former TV journalist Lauren Sánchez have arrived in Venice as they prepare to tie the knot in a lavish three-day celebration that has divided the lagoon city.
Scores of celebrities and other members of the world’s super-rich will also join the pair in Italy, arriving on superyachts and private jets.
Bezos, the world’s fourth-richest person, was spotted by a Reuters reporter on Wednesday entering the exclusive Aman Venice hotel on the Grand Canal, where many of the celebrities will stay. His wife-to-be was also later sighted by photographers.
More than 90 private jets are expected to land in Venice before the celebrations officially begin on Thursday, bringing in guests for an event that some have called the “wedding of the century” and is rumoured to involve everything from pyjama parties to elegant dinners. » | Angela Giuffrida in Venice | Wednesday, June 25, 2025
