Everyone is left saying the same thing after spotting surprising detail at Jeff Bezos’ $56,000,000 wedding
Jeff Bezos married wife Lauren Sánchez in style in front of A-list celebrities in Venice having splashed $56 million of the wedding.
The Amazon founder and his former TV anchor wife, now Lauren Sánchez Bezos, tied the knot in the historic Italian city on Friday (June 27), and while the pair will be on cloud nine, everyone is saying the same thing online which could darken that cloud.
It's relating to the guests the 61-year-old businessman and his 55-year-old partner invited.
On the guest sheet, was NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady, actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, and almost all of the Kardashian-Jenners.

Kourtney Kardashian snubbed the invitation, as did President Donald Trump, although his daughter Ivanka Trump attended the ceremony along with her husband Jared Kushner.
The guest list for the third-richest man on the planet's wedding drew fierce criticism online, with users claiming the pair don't have any 'real friends' and that instead it was just a way to show off their elite status.
"I love how Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have no real friends. like why are you inviting Sydney Sweeney and Ellie Goulding to your 200 person wedding," one user posted on Twitter.
A second typed: "Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez only had 200 people at their wedding, and they invited Sydney Sweeney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady. My conclusion is that they don't have any real friends."
While a third added: "Weddings like this aren't about friends they're about projecting status. Small number = exclusive, A listers only = look how important we are.
"It's pretty sad how someone as wealthy & powerful as Bezos still engages in these games & how it's pretty much just his mid life crisis."
But not everyone shared such opposition, with some rallying to the newly-weds' defense, citing that a 200-strong wedding is actually quite a big event.
"Lol nobody has 200 friends let's be real. People just invite the uncle of the nephew of the sister of that guy they talked to once back in college to pad the numbers, or they invite a hundred cousins they can't even name if they come from a big family," one user claimed.
Another commented: "TBH, if I had even a fraction of the money they have, I too would be inviting random celebs to my wedding lol. Sending an invite to Beyoncé & Dakota Johnson? Why the hell not."
Meanwhile, one person reminded users that they probably get the chance to mingle while at galas, balls and fundraisers that the elite get invited to.
"I think you’re also forgetting that they see these people go to high ticket national and international fundraisers, balls, and galas. They do genuinely see these people a lot," they said.
