Billionaire Jeff Bezos marries Lauren Sánchez in Venice

On Friday, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez tied the knot with a reportedly $50 million blowout celebration in Venice, Italy. There were gondolas, megayachts, a star-studded guest list, and enough paparazzi to rival the Venice Film Festival. Pulling off a wedding of this magnitude hasn't been without its challenges.

Lauren Sánchez packed 27 designer dresses for her wedding to the billionaire Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, in Venice last week, but left with only 26 after one went missing. The couple, who are now honeymooning in Taormina, Sicily, were wed during a star-studded three-day celebration in the lagoon city.

Jeff Bezos' multimillion dollar wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice was relatively cheap...for him. The cost of the nuptials on Friday was estimated between $47 million and $56 million, according to Reuters, citing Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto region where the Italian city of canals is based.
