Jeff Bezos’s Venice wedding celebrations begin with star-studded party

The Kardashians are among the VIP guests that have descended upon Venice as part of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s star-studded wedding festivities.

Leaving a posh hotel on Thursday night to take a water taxi to their pre-wedding reception, the millionaire Amazon entrepreneur and his journalist girlfriend waved to bystanders.

After leaving Venice’s Gritti Palace Hotel, Hollywood star Orlando Bloom was spotted waving a peace sign to his admirers. TV host Oprah Winfrey waved and grinned at him.

Other well-known people in town for the wedding include Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Kim and Khloe Kardashian traveled to the reception with their mother, Kris Jenner, who took a photo of the couple on a water taxi.

The wedding is likely to cost between €40 million and €48 million (£34 million and £41 million), and 200 to 250 A-list guests from the entertainment, political, and financial sectors are anticipated to attend.

For the festivities, Bezos, his soon-to-be wife, and his well-known visitors have commandeered various venues throughout the city. The pair is lodging at the opulent Aman hotel, where rooms cost at least €4,000 per night.

Although the couple and their A-list guests were beaming, some Venetians are not pleased with the wedding; protesters saw it as an instance of the city being spoiled for extremely wealthy foreigners.
