Bezos's tequila request fulfilled by Palihapitiya

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez just got married in a three-day celebration on Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore island.
About 200 guests showed up—including Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and Tom Brady.
The festivities featured a ceremony at a 16th-century basilica and even an Usher-led pajama party.

TL;DR

Engagement and extravagant wedding gifts

Bezos popped the question in 2023 in France with a massive 30-carat pink diamond ring.
Their relationship has been closely watched ever since, leading up to this big moment.
Wedding gifts were next-level: think $1,200-a-bottle tequila delivered by private jet.

Locals protest against the couple

Not everyone was thrilled—locals protested over tourism and climate concerns, with slogans like "No Bezos, No War."
To help out, Bezos donated €1 million each to three environmental groups working to protect Venice's lagoon.
