Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez Wedding Costs
Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner & More Arrive for Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez will be footing a prime wedding bill.
The billionaire Amazon founder and his bride-to-be are pulling out all the stops for their days-long Venetian nuptials, which has already included a foam party on his $500 million superyacht and counts stars like Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey among its wedding guests.
To cover the costs of the wedding and all its related parts, Luca Zaia—president of the Veneto regional government, which governs the city of Venice—told reporters June 24 that he expects the couple to pay €40 to €48 million, approximately $46.5 to $55.6 million in the United States, per Reuters.
As for what all is contributing to the bill’s total? The answer includes multiple luxuries and charitable donations.
Bezos—whose estimated net worth is $238 billion, per Bloomberg—is expected to make €1 million ($1.2 million USD) donations to CORILA, an academic organization that studies and restores Venice’s lagoon ecosystem, as well as the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, according to Reuters.
