Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are in Venice for what is already being dubbed “the wedding of the century.”
The multi-day celebrations kick off today as Venice locals continue to protest the American couple’s presence in the city.
The couple are expected to wed on Friday, with a welcome event reportedly taking place this evening and a dinner being hosted on Saturday.
The Amazon founder and former journalist arrived at the opulent Aman Hotel on Wednesday via helicopter after sailing into the Venice lagoon on board Bezos’s $500 million mega yacht, Koru, which is rumored to play a large role in the wedding.
A procession of around 200 wedding guests — many of them celebrities — will fill the city’s waterways and luxury hotels along the Grand Canal.
Orlando Bloom, Ivanka Trump, Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady are among the A-listers rumored to be in attendance.
The nuptials are expected to cost between $10 and $20 million — about $50,000 per guest — which is unlikely to make a dent in Bezos’s $231 billion net worth.
