Among the 250 guests Vip Lady Gaga, DiCaprio and Katy Perry. The 27 clothes of the bride. The “kidnapped” hotels for two days. And the city rebels against Bezos
In Venice everything is ready for the wedding of the year, even if not everyone is prosecco and toast to the sound of spritz with enthusiasm. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez will marry from 24 to 26 June in a very armored Venice Between yacht, stars and extra -luxury hotels. But if on the one hand there are those who dream of the red carpet on the large canal, on the other there are those who turn up their noses. Indeed, it raises banners from the bell towers.
250 guests, hotel sold out and paparazzi in tilt
The Founder of Amazon, 61 years old, and the Best Seller journalist/author Lauren Sanchez, 55 years old, are about to be said in front of 250 guests Top Level. The most luxurious hotels in the city are already full. Among the expected VIPs: Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and the Venetian by adoption Diane von Fürstenberg.
According to the latest rumors, Lady Gaga will stay at Belmond Cipriani on the island of Judecca. Although, it must be said, the entire staff of the event will deny everything until the last breath – contract in hand – to keep gossip hunters at bay. Meanwhile, the fans of glamorous are shocking: Where will the ceremony be?
Mystery on the location
Will be on board the Mega Yacht Koru127 meters of pure luxury of 500 million dollars, where Bezos gave Lauren a 30 -carat diamond? Or in Cloister of the Cini Foundation on the island of San Giorgioaway from the most unscrupulous telephoto lenses? There is also rumors of the Church of Mercyspectacular but much more “popular”, where the WOW effect risks being accompanied by that “Oops, there are tourists”.
10 million in 72 hours
The entire wedding operation is around 10 million euros. An out of reach figure for those who deal with the supermarket expenditure, but a drop in the sea for the man who has more than 200 billion dollars in his pocket – third in the world, after Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
After the criticisms received for the “pink” space trip aboard the Blue Origin, it seems that the couple wants to keep a slightly lower profile: less show, more charm (perhaps). The environmental themes are hot, the controversies on unbridled luxury as well, and Bezos and Sanchez know it well.
Armored
Behind the scenes, theLanza & Baucina agency Orchestra all with Swiss precision. The 250 guests will stay between Gritti, Danieli, Aman, St. Regis and Cipriani. It is said that there is a suite already booked for Ivanka Trump.
The most intimate (like the couple’s children – seven in total between Bezos and Sanchez) could sleep in the nine rooms of the Koru yacht, flanked by the smallest Abona, both moored in San Basilio, at the rafts.
The movements will take place in a motorboatstrictly in vintage wood. Other than romantic gondola: for the wedding of the year you need a fleet. About 30 vehicles out of 280 available, with rates that touch the delusion: “Bezos Tariff” at 400 euros per houragainst the “modest” 250 of standard luxury services.
The maximum reserve on the event only increases curiosity. There are those who dream of getting into one of the parties (if they succeed) or at least see one of the 27 clothes that Lauren will wear in the three Venetian days.
The B side (of “bezos”): banners and protests in Venice
If you thought everything was roses and prosecco, you are wrong. Not everyone has a good care of the mega event. The Committee No Space for Bezos He has covered the city of protest posters and announced three days of mobilization against “An oligarch whose business is responsible for a disproportionate quantity of emissions that aggravate the climatic crisis”.
Already last Thursday, one Strish with a red X on the name “Bezos”surrounded by smoke bombs, was dropped directly from the bell tower of the basilica on the island of San Giorgio. Guess where the wedding should be kept?
The mayor Luigi Brugnaro exploded: «Shameful and unacceptable against a man who gives work to over a million people. With Bezos it will be necessary to apologize and I hope it will come again. Meanwhile, we start saying that we risk not coming ».
In short, between unbridled luxury, armored reserve, star rates and social tensions, the only certainty is that in Venice, from 24 to 26 June, it will be impossible to get bored. And who knows, maybe the most anticipated yes of the year will also be the most discussed.
