Billionaire Bezos' wedding on the brink: Identifying the obstacles threatening his matrimony
Here Comes the Stir in Venice: Local Residents Take a Stand Against Jeff Bezos' Upcoming Nuptials
The grapevine's abuzz with Jeff Bezos' impending wedding in Venice, Italy—a development met with a wave of local protests. Known as "No Place for Bezos," these demonstrations aim to voice dissent against the nuptials.
Italian activists have taken to poster-making, flyer distribution, and city-square orations to voice their opposition. While Venice's authorities see the celebrations as a financial boon, estimated to cost around €10 million, these activists argue the event brings no significant benefits for ordinary Venetians and results in city closures that disrupt their lives.
Bezos popped the question to ex-TV journalist, Lauren Sanchez, and recently sent her on a space voyage as a keepsake.
Venice's Towering Protests
Protesters have hoisted a "No Bezos" banner on the bell tower of San Giorgio's basilica on its eponymous island—a possible wedding location. Details about the wedding remain hush-hush, but reports speculate it could occur between June 24-26. Rumors swirl around a guest list that may include Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, and Ivanka Trump, with an estimated 200 attendees. Should these reports ring true, it'd mark Venice's biggest wedding since George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin in 2014.
[According to some unofficial sources, The Misericordia—a well-renowned event hall—is the likely venue for the ceremony][4]. Despite these demonstrations, Venice's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has warmly welcomed the event, anticipating substantial revenue for the city[5].
