TikTok Video Sparks Curiosity Over Jeff Bezos' Furniture Delivery
Alleged Street Closure on Fifth Avenue for Bezos' Furniture Transportation
Ever wondered how a billionaire delivers his furniture? Well, business owner Raffi Arslanian has got you covered. A recent viral TikTok video captured the scene as a crane hoisted a massive, wrapped object towards the top floors of a building on Fifth Avenue and 26th Street. Rumor has it, this building houses five apartments owned by none other than Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, with an estimated worth of $119 million [1][2][5].
Arslanian, the man behind luxury candle brand Thompson Ferrier, filmed the whole shebang – barricades, caution tape, moving trucks, and workers managing traffic below. He humorously commented, "You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you." Pointing towards the crane, he added, "He owns the top floors there. Today is the day he is getting furniture delivered" [2][3][5].
Onlookers speculated that the mysterious object was indeed furniture meant for Bezos' penthouse. The whole spectacle drew quite the crowd, with reactions ranging from humor to amazement. One user joked, "Amazon Prime delivery, billionaire subscription," while another quipped, "When you’re Jeff Bezos, even a whole street takes a coffee break just to move your couch."
Turns out, the people's billionaire really did need such a grand delivery. The process was a reality, despite its eye-catching display. The delivery's magnitude was due to the challenges of moving large items into a high-end, upper-floor Manhattan apartment [2][4][5].
Arslanian also joked about the contrast between Bezos' extravagant moving day and the average person's experience, stating, "I don't know what he's doing, but there are more cranes here. He has got monster cranes. There are police escorts here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing I’m showing you. Now, back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves."
As for Bezos, he's about to tie the knot with Lauren Sanchez. The wedding is set to take place in Italy between June 24 and 26. While the wedding venue remained a mystery, recent reports suggest the couple might exchange vows in a romantic open-air theatre on a Venetian island [6].
