Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were married in a multiday wedding last week, and power players from politics, business, and Hollywood converged in Venice to celebrate.
The canals outside the city’s most expensive hotels, like the Gritti Palace and Aman, were a paparazzo’s dream as the 200 guests of the Amazon founder and his now-wife, a former news anchor, boarded water taxis and mingled on terraces.
Famous faces like first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg began to arrive in Venice on Tuesday. By Thursday, power players like Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were being photographed around the city. Bezos and Sánchez’s families, including Bezos’ father, Miguel, and his brother, Mark, were also spotted.
Since Bezos and Sánchez’s relationship became public in 2019, they have been a fixture of A-list events, such as the Met Gala, Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and Formula 1 races, often photographed with celebrities, rather than people from the tech world.
Some unwelcome guests were also in attendance. Venice locals protested against Bezos ahead of the wedding, with signs posted around the city that read, “No space for Bezos.”
Protest organizers, who cited concerns with overtourism, attempted to disrupt the weddings. The city, for its part, denounced the protests and said it welcomed the wedding.
