Did Jeff Bezos Close Fifth Avenue To Move His Furniture? Watch What Happened
Last Updated:
A user shared the video of the activities on social media, quipping over Bezos's extravagant shifting of furniture.
A portion of the iconic Fifth Avenue in Manhattan appears to have been closed to ensure furniture delivery to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' penthouse. Dramatic footage of a big crane hoisting a wrapped item to the top floor of a building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street is going viral. The location was lined with caution tape, machinery, barricades, and moving company trucks.
Accompanying the machinery were dozens of workers, who milled about and directed the traffic, while several passersby gathered to watch as the items topped the 24-story 212 Fifth Avenue. According to the New York Post, Bezos owns five apartments on the top four floors, worth $119 million. Raffi Arslanian, the owner of luxury candle company Thompson Ferrier, shared the video on social media and quipped, 'You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you. I think we all can relate to this. Now back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves, or at best, we get a company to do it — but we don't close the street."

Arslanian's remarks over the billionaire's extravagant shifting and moving left the internet discussion, with many comparing it to an average person's experience. A user reshared the video on X and added, 'Jeff Bezos had furniture delivered to his NYC penthouse by crane, shutting down part of Fifth Avenue. The items were hoisted up to the 24th floor. It's said this kind of service costs over $20,000 a day, plus permits for ordinary things".
Going by the developments, it appears that the billionaire is making preparations for his upcoming wedding. Jeff Bezos is set to get married to his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, in Venice, Italy, in June this year. The couple dropped a major hint at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2025, with reports now suggesting that the wedding invites have started going out.

Trump Unveils '$1,000 Savings Account' For Every Baby Born During His Second Term
Last Updated: The proposal mandates the Treasury Department to fund the $1,000 initial investment, with newborns automatically enrolled in the program. US President Donald Trump unveiled a new federal program proposing government-funded $1,000 investment accounts for American babies, which he called 'Trump savings accounts'. The US President said that the initiative is one of the 'most important" components of his new proposed bill, despite immediate warnings from the Congressional Budget Office regarding its impact on national debt. During a White House roundtable- that included Dell CEO Michael Dell, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi- Donald Trump revealed specifics of the proposed savings accounts. These would be tax-deferred investment accounts designed to track overall stock market performance, benefiting children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, he said. 'For every US citizen born after December 31, 2024, before January 1, 2029, the federal government will make a one-time contribution of $1,000 into a tax-deferred account that will track the overall stock market," Donald Trump said. The proposal mandates the Treasury Department to fund the $1,000 initial investment, with newborns automatically enrolled in the program. These accounts would be administered by parents or legal guardians, allowing for an additional private investment of up to $5,000. Donald Trump said that the initiative is 'a pro-family initiative that will help millions of Americans harness the strength of our economy to lift up the next generation." Legislative Hurdles For Donald Trump's Bill While the 'Big Beautiful Bill" has cleared the House, its journey through the Senate is expected to face stiff competition. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued a report last week warning that the 'Big Beautiful Bill" is projected to add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade- indicating that such an increase would necessitate cuts to existing federal programs, including Medicaid and food assistance. The 'Trump savings accounts' cannot be passed as a standalone program and would require the successful passage of the broader bill.

Supply crunch: India needs a proactive strategy for rare earth security
India must also recognise that future value chains for critical minerals will be constructed, taking into account the demands of the host nations premium Business Standard Editorial Comment Mumbai Listen to This Article Like many other countries, India is suffering collateral damage in the United States-China trade war. In April, responding to various trade restrictions and tariff impositions from American President Donald Trump, Beijing announced that certain heavy and medium rare earths and related magnets would be subject to export licences. Given the difficulty of obtaining licences and the complexity of demonstrating the end use of any particular shipment, this has in many cases amounted to an effective ban, which has affected Indian manufacturing. Beijing controls about 50 per cent of officially recognised reserves, 70 per cent of extraction capability, and 90 per
