Lady Gaga skips Bezos wedding over performance fee dispute
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez celebrated their wedding with a lavish three-day party in Venice, Italy.
About 200 guests showed up—including Kim Kardashian and Orlando Bloom.
But the event wasn't all glitz; it sparked local protests over overtourism and flashy wealth.
Bezos wanted Gaga, John for entertainment
Bezos hoped for big-name performances from Lady Gaga and Elton John, but both reportedly asked for $6 million each—so he passed.
Instead, DJ Cassidy handled the music, keeping the party going even without those superstar acts.
Locals protested the celebration
Venetians protested the high-profile celebration, worried about overcrowding and extravagant displays.
Security concerns led to a quick venue switch right before the ceremony.
Still, despite disruptions in the city, Bezos and Sanchez pulled off their star-studded celebration as planned.
