Jeff Bezos is set to embark on a new journey as he marries Lauren Sanchez on Saturday, December 28, marking a significant event that has seen millions of dollars spent on their wedding.
The wedding will take place in Aspen, Colorado, coming five years after the revelation of their relationship, which led to the end of Bezos’s marriage to MacKenzie Scott. This split famously cost him more than $35.6 billion in Amazon stock.
After moving past his previous life events, the billionaire has organized an extravagant $600 million wedding, almost 20 months after his engagement to Sanchez.
The ceremony will embrace the festive spirit of the season with a winter wonderland theme, adorned with sparkling lights and cozy holiday decorations. Guests will also enjoy sushi from the renowned Matsuhisa restaurant.
Notable guests will include industry icons like Bill Gates, valued at over $100 billion, along with Queen Rania of Jordan and Leonardo DiCaprio, as reported by PageSix.com.
