Jeff Bezos speaks out on $600,000,000 wedding to fiancée Lauren Sánchez

The Amazon founder responded after sources claimed to have details of his upcoming nuptials

Jeff Bezos has spoken out after sources claiming to have information about his wedding described how the event would cost the Amazon founder $600,000,000.

I know weddings can be expensive, but how many people would you have to invite to rack up a bill like that?!

The claims about Bezos' and Lauren Sánchez's upcoming nuptials emerged over the weekend, after three sources told the Daily Mail that the couple had bought out a fancy sushi restaurant in Aspen, Colorado to celebrate their event, which was set to go ahead on December 28.

The actual ceremony was said to be taking place at luxury retreat Dunbar Ranch, with one source claiming it would set the couple back an estimated $600 million.

Bearing in mind that Bezos has a net worth of $244 billion, $600 million might not actually be that wild of a figure. After all, if you have the means to splash out on the best meals, flowers and favors that money can buy, why not go for it?

However, Bezos himself has now responded to the claims and said the details about his wedding are not true.

The 60-year-old spoke out in response to a post on Twitter from a fellow billionaire, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman.

Ackman shared one of the reports about Bezos' wedding and wrote: "This is not credible. Unless you are buying each of your guests a house, you can’t spend this much money."

Obviously, you could argue that Bezos might be offering each of his guests a house - but the man himself has now suggested that's not the case.

After seeing Ackman's post, Bezos followed up with his own response.

He wrote: "Furthermore, this whole thing is completely false — none of this is happening. The old adage 'don’t believe everything you read' is even more true today than it ever has been. Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible.

"Will be interesting to see if all the outlets that “covered” and re-reported on this issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen."

UNILAD was among the outlets that initially reported on the claims made by the sources and contacted Bezos' representatives for comment at the time. In the wake of his post, a correction has been added to the article.

Bezos and Sánchez, who is a journalist and author, went public with their relationship in 2019 and got engaged in May 2023.
