The wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez is coming to Venice, whether residents like it or not. The Amazon founder is sailing his $500 million superyacht into the Italian city for a ceremony that’s set to span multiple days next week, and locals have been up in arms protesting about overtourism and the idea that the unique and historic city can be “sold to the highest bidder.”
If the happy couple can make out the clamor of outrage from inside their cocoon of wealth and luxury, they’ll almost certainly be used to it by now. Their relationship has never been far from scandal.
