In the coming days, the world’s third-richest man, Jeff Bezos, will wed Lauren Sánchez, the former TV journalist, in what has been described as the “wedding of the century”. Estimates on the cost have varied, but a multi-million-dollar price tag is assured, and it’s expected that everyone involved in the wedding planning will have signed a raft of NDAs — naturally.
Some of the 200 reported guests have begun to descend on Venice where the wedding will take place from June 26 to 28. If that sounds reminiscent of another celebrity wedding, it’s for good reason: Jeff Bezos has hired the same wedding planners as George and Amal Clooney, who tied the knot in the Italian lagoon city back in 2014.
