CORRECTS TO AMAN HOTEL NOT ANNAN A gondola sails past the Aman Hotel in Venice, Italy, on Thursday, June 26, 2025, ahead of festivities in the lagoon city reportedly linked to a wedding celebration for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Snchez. Details of the wedding between Amazon multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are sketchy, but it's certainly causing a storm, not least in Venice, where they're set to tie the knot this weekend.Billion, that is. That's the net worth of Jeff Bezos, according to real-time data from Forbes, making him the third-richest person in the world behind tech bros Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Not bad, considering that he founded Amazon out of his garage in Seattle in 1994, with not much more than a desk, a fax machine and a long orange extension cord that was needed to supply the room with additional power. From its origins as an online bookstore, Amazon's tentacles are now felt all around the world. If you want anything, it'll likely be for sale there. Amazon also now produces movies, runs the Whole Foods grocery chain and has become the leader in voice-activated speakers.But Bezos still has broad influence over Amazon as executive chair and the company’s biggest shareholder, though his stake has diminished over the years to under 10%.divorce in April 2019 The divorce came at a high price for Jeff Bezos. Only the divorce of Bill Gates and Melinda Gates has been more expensive. As part of the settlement, MacKenzie, who has taken her middle name Scott as her new surname, received 25% of Bezos’ stake in Amazon. According to Forbes, she is worth a cool $30 billion, easily placing her in the world's top 100.The hotel is a grand spectacle in a city of spectacles. Like Venice itself, the hotel blends mystery and grandeur, opulence and solitude. The rooms are decorated with works by a number of Italy’s greatest artists, including 16th-century architect Sansovino and 18th-century painter Tiepolo.The 97 square-meter Grand Canal Suite would surely meet the moment. According to the hotel, it “beguiles with views of the Grand Canal and an abundance of light.” Or how about the Alcova Tiepolo Suite? It is slightly bigger at 103 square meters , which allows guests the opportunity to stay among 18th-century frescoes by Tiepolo.Or thereabouts. That's the approximate population of Venice’s historic center, which is composed of over 100 islands connected by footbridges and traversed by its famed canals.And it doesn't seem as though the protesters will stay silent. About a dozen Venetian organizations, including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups, have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner “No Space for Bezos,” a play on words that refers to Sanchez’s recent space flight. To many Venetians, overtourism has made the city increasingly unliveable, expensive and crowded. The resident population has dwindled over the decades, leading to the corresponding reduction in services. Residents complain nothing is being done to encourage other types of economic activity, creating a culture of monotourism.That's the number of wedding-related private jets that are expected to land at Treviso and Venice airports.and has a price tag of around $50 million, generating revenue for the city and a celebrity quotient that would “bring visibility and promotion” to Venice worth more than five American Super Bowls.
