Jeff Bezos to lavish $600 million on wedding to 54-year-old fiancée as Amazon workers go on strike

Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to marry his fiancée Lauren Sanchez in an extravagant $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado, next Saturday, according to a report by Daily Mail.
Mr Bezos and Ms Sanchez have been together since 2019, shortly after the businessman and his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott finalised their divorce the same year.
The pair became engaged in May 2023 and decided to tie the knot in a lavish wedding next weekend.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple have reportedly fully booked an expensive sushi restaurant, Matsuhia, for Thursday and Friday to celebrate their impending marriage before a winter wonderland-themed wedding on Saturday.
High-profile individuals from Silicon Valley, Hollywood and other walks of life are expected to attend the wedding.
Fellow billionaire businessman Bill Gates, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Jordan are some of the people expected to be present at the ceremony, according to Page Six.
Meanwhile, Mr Bezos and Ms Sanchez have yet to publicly comment on the forthcoming wedding or the date of the ceremony.
Details of the lavish ceremony emerged days after Amazon workers in several critical hubs across the United States staged a walkout in protest over pay disputes.
Union leaders said the strikes are taking place at three delivery centres in Southern California and one each in San Francisco, New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, and Skokie, Illinois.
Reports said customers near the affected centres have started feeling the impact of the strikes, which may last through the Christmas shopping season, potentially embarrassing Amazon leadership.
