On June 27, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy, reportedly costing $56 million. The Amazon founder and his wife, a former TV anchor, celebrated their union surrounded by some of the biggest names in entertainment and sports. But while the wedding was undeniably glamorous, the guest list became a hot topic on social media.
The couple invited a mix of celebrities including NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady, actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney, Orlando Bloom, and Oprah Winfrey, along with most of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Not everyone accepted the invite—Kourtney Kardashian and Donald Trump were absent, but Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner attended.
Many social media users criticized the guest list, claiming that Bezos and Sánchez might lack close friends, suggesting the event was more about flaunting status than celebrating genuine relationships. Some found it odd that celebrities like Sydney Sweeney and Ellie Goulding were included among just 200 guests.
Others felt the wedding was designed to show exclusivity and importance rather than friendship. Some even speculated that the extravagant event reflected a midlife crisis. However, there were voices defending the couple, arguing that 200 guests is a large wedding by most standards, and that many people invite distant relatives or casual acquaintances to fill their guest lists.
Some joked they would also invite celebrities if they had Bezos’ wealth, and others pointed out that the rich often see these famous faces at high-profile events, making such invitations natural. The wedding, with its mix of glamour and controversy, has certainly left a lasting impression on the public.
