Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez may have had the perfect wedding day in Venice but not everyone was impressed by the eye-watching cost involved
Georgia Toffolo has aimed a dig at Jeff Bezos and his mega-money wedding - months after she tied the knot to her millionaire boyfriend.
The Amazon mogul and his wife Lauren Sanchez got hitched in Venice this weekend, with the wedding believed to have cost close to £40million. They eye-watering sum has been met with annoyance across the world after the businessman, 61, the third richest man in the world with an estimated worth of £177billion, said 'I do' with no expense spared.
‌
Georgia - who married former BrewDog CEO James Watt in a modest bash back in March - was taking questions from her followers on Instagram and she clearly believes that the money could have been used better elsewhere. The former I'm A Celebrity campmate was asked by one fan: "What do you think about the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding?'"
‌
She replied: "OK so each to their own and I know so many women out there fantasise about their wedding day and want a huge day. However... IMAGINE if they'd have instead given the £50+ million (how on earth do you even spend that on a weekend) they've spent on charities. That would have been the coolest most brilliant thing ever."
Georgia and James started dating in 2023 and got engaged in October when the millionaire, 42, popped the question during a romantic trip to Greece to mark the former Made In Chelsea star's 30th birthday. They got hitched in Gardenstown, in the county of Aberdeenshire in North East Scotland, taking their vows in the same church James's grandparents were married in.
Posting on her Instagram after the ceremony, Georgia (known as Toff) announced: "James and I got married today. 1st March will forever be the best day of my life - the day I became your wife. We eloped!" The guestlist, she added, included "whoever could get here with 48 hours notice" and hinted that there's another wedding bash in the pipeline, adding: "To our family and friends who aren't with us, we will celebrate with you soonest!".
The pair both shared some rather unconventional wedding photos, including one ofJames dressed in fishing waders and another showing Georgia - dressed in a cream, off-the-shoulder fleece dress - clutching some freshly-caught lobsters.
‌
It was a low key even compared to what we saw this weekend in Italy. Guests included Oprah Winfrey, who looked stunning in a burnt orange outfit that came complete with feathered sleeves. Others invited included Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, who were also pictured making their way to the old shipyard, the Arsenale.
According to reports, the invited guests amounted to 200 people and Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga were among the performers of the night. And while the happy couple and their guests enjoyed the celebrations which went without a hitch, it seems not everybody was pleased that the retail giant had booked out the entire Italian city.
An estimated 700 demonstrators gathered together at Santa Lucia train station armed with banners that read "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax."
‌
The demonstration is believed to have been organised by the No Space For Bezos group. A few members of the group were seen laden with Amazon boxes that had the words "ordered, shipped, delivered, rejected" written on them.
But this did not seem to change the happy course of the couple as they continued to enjoy their day despite the interruptions. This is reportedly the second marriage for both Jeff and Lauren and between them, they have seven children.
