Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez Set To Tie The Knot

American business magnate and Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos and entertainment reporter, Lauren Sanchez are getting ready to walk down the aisle in an “extravagant” Aspen ceremony with their A-list friends during Christmas.

An insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Bezos, 60, and Sanchez, 54, have been quietly planning their star-studded wedding for the holiday season.

“They’re getting ready for a winter wonderland wedding in Aspen this Christmas,” the insider said of the Amazon founder and his soon-to-be bride.

“They’re planning an extravagant ceremony and are sparing no expense in creating a white Christmas affair,” the insider continued.

The fete is expected to be a star-studded event, with the who’s who of Hollywood and business expected to attend.

Bezos proposed in May of 2023 while they were on vacation in the South of France aboard his super-yacht.

The pair began dating while Sanchez was still working her way through a divorce from her husband of 13 years, Patrick Whitesell.

They came out publicly as a couple in 2019.

He was previously married to Mackenzie Scott, and they share four children together.

Jeff Bezos stated that his main motivation for making the move is t restore nature and transform food systems. He sold the shares earlier this week at the COP26 summit at in Glasgow Scotland.

The move has made Jeff the world biggest retailer according to a new forbes report.

“We must conserve what we still have, we must restore what we’ve lost, and we must grow what we need to live without degrading the planet for future generations to come,” Bezos said during his talk in Glasgow.

The sale, after accounting for capital gains taxes, barely changes his net worth. As of Friday, November 5, Bezos is worth $199.4 billion, Forbes estimates. He trails the number one richest, Elon Musk (worth an estimated $317 billion), by about $118 billion.

Bezos has sold more than $8.8 billion worth of Amazon stock this year. Since taking Amazon public in 1998, the founder of the e-commerce giant has sold some $29 billion worth of Amazon shares, Forbes calculates; his stake in the company has gone from 42% in 1997 to just under 10% currently.
