Although Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez may have had the ideal wedding day in Venice, not everyone was pleased with the expense.
Georgia Toffolo has aimed a dig at Jeff Bezos and his mega-money wedding – months after she tied the knot to her millionaire boyfriend.
This weekend, the Amazon mogul and his wife Lauren Sanchez got engaged in Venice, according to reports that the wedding cost close to £40 million. The businessman, 61, who is the third richest man in the world with an estimated £177 billion, said “I do” without any expense, making the enthralling statement “I do” everywhere.
Georgia – who married former BrewDog CEO James Watt in a modest bash back in March – was taking questions from her followers on Instagram and she clearly believes that the money could have been used better elsewhere. The former I’m A Celebrity campmate was asked by one fan: “What do you think about the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding?'”
She responded, “OK, each has its own, and I know there are so many brides who want big days out and are dreaming big.” However… I’d have a terrible idea if they had instead given away the £50+ million (how on earth would you even spend that on a weekend) they’ve raised for charities. That would have been the most innovative and cool invention ever.
Georgia and James started dating in 2023 and got engaged in October when the millionaire, 42, popped the question during a romantic trip to Greece to mark the former Made In Chelsea star’s 30th birthday. They got hitched in Gardenstown, in the county of Aberdeenshire in North East Scotland, taking their vows in the same church James’s grandparents were married in.
Georgia (also known as Toff) announced: “James and I got married today. The day I became your wife on March 1 will forever be my life’s greatest day. We “eloped”! She continued, “whoever could get here with 48 hours notice” was on the guest list, and she mentioned that a second wedding bash was on the horizon. “We will celebrate with you soonest, to our family and friends who aren’t with us.”
The pair both shared some rather unconventional wedding photos, including one ofJames dressed in fishing waders and another showing Georgia – dressed in a cream, off-the-shoulder fleece dress – clutching some freshly-caught lobsters.
It was a low key even compared to what we saw this weekend in Italy. Guests included Oprah Winfrey, who looked stunning in a burnt orange outfit that came complete with feathered sleeves. Others invited included Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, who were also pictured making their way to the old shipyard, the Arsenale.
According to reports, there were 200 invited guests, and Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John were among the performers. And while the happy couple and their guests thoroughly enjoyed the festivities, it seems not everyone was happy that the Italian city had been completely booked out by the retail giant.
Armed with banners that read “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax,” an estimated 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia train station.
The No Space For Bezos group is alleged to have organized the demonstration. A few group members were spotted carrying Amazon boxes with the words “ordered, shipped, delivered, rejected” written on them.
Despite the interruptions, the couple’s happy course did not appear to change as a result. Jeff and Lauren’s marriage to date is reportedly their second, and they have seven children.
