Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos to Spend $600 Million on Aspen Wedding
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is reportedly gearing up to splurge a jaw-dropping $600 million on his upcoming wedding with girlfriend Lauren Sanchez in Aspen. According to a report by Mail Online, the extravagant ‘Winter Wonderland’ themed event is set to take place just after Christmas.
The exclusive affair will see guests arriving at the luxurious five-star St Regis Hotel in Aspen, with private mansions also being booked around the town for the attendees. The wedding festivities are expected to span an entire weekend, featuring a rumored mountain-top ceremony with breathtaking ‘winter wonderland’ views. One of the highlights includes a buyout at Matsuhisa, an upscale sushi restaurant that can accommodate up to 180 guests.
High-end Aspen wedding planners have been brought in from around the country to ensure the secrecy and grandeur of the event, with strict non-disclosure agreements in place to safeguard the couple’s privacy.
Background and Relationship
Bezos and Sanchez’s relationship sparked while he was still married to his ex-wife Mackenzie Scott. Following their divorce, Bezos accused the National Enquirer of attempting to blackmail him over evidence of their affair. Despite the rocky start, Bezos recently met with former President Donald Trump in an effort to mend their strained relationship.
The billionaire entrepreneur, who ranks as the world’s second richest man after Elon Musk, has shown support for Trump by blocking The Washington Post (which he owns) from endorsing Kamala Harris and contributing $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.
Optimism Towards Trump Presidency
In a recent interview, Bezos expressed optimism about the prospects of a Trump presidency, citing the potential for energy around reducing regulations. He emphasized his willingness to support Trump in this endeavor, acknowledging the need to streamline regulations in the country.
The lavish Aspen wedding and Bezos’ positive outlook on the Trump administration highlight the businessman’s penchant for opulence and engagement in political affairs.
