Luxurious Yacht Voyage of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Prior to Wedding, Costing Estimated $500 Million
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Exude Romance Aboard Yacht Prior to Wedding
In an intimate display of affection, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, former entertainment journalist Lauren Sanchez, were spotted packing on the PDA while enjoying a day at sea on Bezos' $500 million sailing yacht off the coast of Cannes, France.
The couple, who are set to wed this summer, were photographed playfully interacting and showing affection for one another. In one image, Bezos is seen kneeling on Sanchez's lounge chair, while in another, he is seen rubbing her arms and nuzzling her neck.
Sanchez donned a leopard-print thong string bikini and a straw bucket hat, while Bezos wore a navy blue T-shirt and blue and white patterned swim trunks. The pair were later seen enjoying lunch with their friends on one of the yacht's decks.
Bezos first commissioned the 417-foot-long yacht, named Koru, in 2018, and it was delivered to him in 2023. Luxurious amenities onboard include nine staterooms, teak decks, three Jacuzzis, a swimming pool, and a pickleball court. Koru is accompanied by a $75 million support vessel named Abeona, which features a helipad and a hangar. Sanchez, who is a licensed helicopter pilot, has been spotted flying her helicopter to and from Abeona.
Prior to arriving in Cannes, Sanchez hosted a star-studded bachelorette party in Paris, which included A-list celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria. The festivities kicked off with a dinner at Lafayette's, with a menu that included fried chicken, Caesar salad, Norwegian smoked salmon, roasted chicken, and rigatoni. The evening was filled with espresso martinis and dancing to Earth, Wind & Fire.
On Sunday, Bezos and Sanchez were spotted walking hand in hand through Cannes as they enjoyed a dinner date in town. The couple has attended several events celebrating the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, with Sanchez receiving the Women Empowerment Award at the Global Gift Gala in Cannes last weekend.
According to reports, Bezos and Sanchez sent out wedding invitations in March and are planning to tie the knot this June in Venice, Italy. The city of Venice has confirmed it is "mutually working and supporting" the organizers of the couple's wedding and has stated that it is "easy" for the city to accommodate the nuptials without any disruption.
