Private jets are starting to flood into Venice as celebrities and titans of business arrive for Jeff Bezos' wedding
Celebrities and their private jets have started landing in Venice ahead of the celebrations for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding.
Kim Kardashian 's Gulfstream G650 touched down at Marco Polo Airport on Thursday morning, according to flight-tracking data from ADS-B Exchange.
Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner were also photographed with her, boarding a water taxi.
The G650, which costs around $65 million, departed Los Angeles 10 hours earlier.
Kardashian previously attended Sánchez's bachelorette party in Paris last month, which included a boat ride down the Seine.
Then, around 10 a.m. local time, Oprah Winfrey 's G700 also landed in Venice, per ADS-B Exchange. Business Insider's reporter in Venice saw Winfrey and broadcaster Gayle King boarding a boat at the airport.
A G650, which JetSpy data says is owned by media mogul James Murdoch, son of Rupert, landed in Venice on Thursday, too, as did another jet belonging to hedge fund billionaire John Griffin.
Bezos, the world's fourth-richest person, owns three planes, according to JetSpy. Two of them, the G700 and a G650, have been hopping around the Mediterranean in recent days. At the moment, they're both parked across the Adriatic Sea in Dubrovnik.
Bezos and Sánchez kicked off their pre-wedding celebrations on Tuesday with a foam party on his $500 million superyacht Koru, parked just off the Croatian coast.
Tuesday also saw the first guests land in Venice, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg's G500 landed around midday, and she was photographed at the water-taxi dock.
A Bombardier Global 7500 owned by her husband, the Fox cofounder Barry Diller, arrived in Venice around noon on Wednesday, per ADS-B Exchange data.
Data from Flightradar24, which doesn't display most private-jet arrivals for privacy reasons, showed five large business jets were scheduled to land on Thursday. That's compared to two on Wednesday, one on Tuesday, and none on Monday.
The Guardian reported that more than 90 private jets are expected to land in Venice before the celebrations begin.

Israel's top ballistic missile shield proved itself against Iran. Now, a next-gen update is on the way.
Israel's top ballistic missile defenses, the country's Arrow systems, will soon get a next-generation interceptor to keep pace with growing threats, the manufacturer told Business Insider this week. Since last year, Arrow has shielded Israel from three rounds of substantial bombardment by Iranian missiles — the most recent of which was only days ago — and many smaller-scale attacks by the Tehran-backed Houthi rebels. Boaz Levy, the CEO of state-run Israel Aerospace Industries, said in an interview that the company is working on developing a new interceptor missile for Arrow, and it's about to go into the production phase. Arrow is a highly advanced air defense system jointly produced by IAI and the US aerospace contractor Boeing. The first iteration of this system, Arrow 2, was deployed in 2000 and is able to intercept missiles in the upper atmosphere. The newer Arrow 3 became operational in 2017 and can hit targets in space. Both Arrow systems use a two-stage solid-fueled interceptor to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles, and together, they make up the top tier of Israel's sophisticated air defense network, which also includes the well-known Iron Dome system and David's Sling. The system has been in service for many years now. Since Arrow 2 was deployed, IAI has continuously sought to increase its capabilities, first by supplementing it with Arrow 3, and now by working on the future Arrow 4 and Arrow 5, Levy, the Arrow chief engineer, said. "We have the production line, and we have the capability, and we also have the know-how to transfer to the operational unit," he said. The early concept work for Arrow 4 — which is a joint US-Israeli project like its predecessors — began in 2017. The interceptor is now in the final stages of development and will soon enter the initial production phase. Final production rates will eventually be decided by Israel's Ministry of Defense, Levy said. He declined to provide a timeline, though he did disclose that "we are about to conclude the development, and it's only a matter of time until we start the production." Arrow 4 will eventually replace the decades-old Arrow 2. Levy explained the system will have a more enhanced "shoot-look-shoot" capacity, referring to the air defense strategy of engaging a target, reviewing the results, and then engaging again if necessary. In many cases, operators may fire two interceptors to engage a single incoming missile. "This is the new generation," he said, sharing the new technology and electronics will increase Arrow's interception capabilities with the same system it's been using for years. Arrow 5 will eventually be even more advanced than Arrow 4. Israel's Arrow systems have seen extensive combat since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel, most notably in three major clashes with Iran — in April 2024, October 2024, and then earlier this month. Tehran has launched at least 850 ballistic missiles at Israel over the course of these three clashes, and Arrow, alongside Israel's other defense systems and US forces in the region, intercepted most of the threats. The exact number of Iranian missiles that Arrow has shot down is unknown, but Levy said an initial analysis of the latest clash revealed the systems intercepted at least 90% of the threats it targeted. The Arrow systems have also frequently been tasked with shooting down missiles launched by the Houthis in Yemen. All these engagements, from Iran to the rebel group, have provided IAI with valuable data to help it develop the new interceptors. "It's a regular procedure that we are doing. Of course, we are testing all of our capabilities through real-time simulations. And of course, any data available to us is a tool to analyze our system's capabilities," Levy said.

A retired woman living month-to-month on disability says one of her biggest financial regrets was being too generous
At one point, she had over $100,000 in medical debt. She said she'd paid most of it off, but doing so drained most of her savings. "Right now, I live totally on what I receive from disability," Swanagan said at the time of her interview with Business Insider in late 2024, adding, "I wouldn't consider myself financially stable." Are you an older American comfortable sharing your retirement outlook with a reporter? Please fill out this quick form. We are especially interested in hearing from people 80 and older. Swanagan said that one of her financial regrets is giving too much money to friends in need when she was younger and not saving more for herself. "It's OK to care about people," she said, adding, "However, you have to look at what it is costing you mentally and financially. You only have so many years to prepare for retirement." Swanagan is one of many in the US whose retirement was derailed by a medical crisis. Dozens of people between 48 and 96 who have emailed reporters or responded to surveys about their biggest life regrets told BI their stories about not factoring medical expenses into retirement planning or prioritizing routine medical appointments. She regrets not asking for more money After getting divorced, Swanagan raised her three children on a single salary as a solo parent, but never took government assistance before retirement. She believed being financially self-resilient set the right example for her children to become productive members of society. However, that meant she constantly worked long hours and juggled multiple jobs to support her family. She spent 15 years as a correctional officer in Texas, Kansas, Washington, and Illinois. She also worked in hospitals, worked side gigs on farms, and provided in-home care for Alzheimer's patients. Looking back, she regrets some of her decisions. "There were times I worked for less than I was worth," she said, adding, "I never demanded more money or moved on to where I was appreciated. My salary hovered around $50,000." She wishes she'd saved more for the future Despite tight finances, Swanagan said she always helped coworkers and friends who were going through hard times. It was "never more than a couple hundred dollars," she said, "but it adds up." She said helping people is important, but your future self is someone worth helping, too. If she could go back in time, she said she would tell her younger self not to be so generous because the future is unknown. "There's no such thing as a perfect retirement plan," she said. "Circumstances change, and you can never be fully prepared." Later in life, Swanagan was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive hormonal disorder called acromegaly, which she said caused her brain tumor and was a contributing factor to her diabetes and high blood pressure. It also caused some of her bones, including those in her jaw, to expand, which led her to lose all of her teeth and her joints to ache constantly. "There's nothing they can really do about it to take the pain away, so I'm always in some degree of pain, stiffness. I have trouble walking," she said. Unable to work, Swanagan lives on inherited farmland in Illinois that has been in her family since 1856. At the time of her interview with BI, she was staying in her SUV, which she converted into a camper while she waited for the tiny home she ordered to arrive. "I have people around me that are family that are willing to pitch in and help me put my home together," she said.

Lauren Sánchez's net worth: A look at her wealth as she marries Jeff Bezos
Before Lauren Sánchez met Jeff Bezos, she already had a career as a TV reporter, helicopter pilot, and occasional actress. She dated an NFL player, married a talent agent, and lived in a multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills mansion. But Sánchez's fortune completely changed when she was introduced to Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos. While the exact date of their first meeting isn't clear, they were known to run into each other at Hollywood events, and their casual friendship quickly blossomed into romance-even though they were married to other people. After the couple's scandalous debut (and their respective divorces) in 2019, Sánchez and Bezos embarked on a very public relationship that put their wealth on ostentatious display. They were often seen in the front row at fashion shows, attending the Met Gala in 2024, and partying with A-list friends like Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner. Sánchez was photographed wearing expensive jewelry gifted from Bezos, and she frequently posted on social media about their lavish vacations aboard Bezos' $500 million superyacht, "Koru." In fact, that's where Bezos proposed to Sánchez in May 2023, leaving a brilliant 30-carat pink diamond ring under her pillow. The brilliant, cushion-cut gem, set in a platinum band, is estimated to be worth between $3 and $5 million, leaving little to wonder about why Sánchez "blacked out a bit" when she discovered it. But ever since Sánchez said "100% yes" to becoming Mrs. Jeff Bezos, the media frenzy has only intensified. After false reports of a winter wedding in Aspen, the setting of their impending nuptials has been narrowed down to Venice, Italy, with an estimated date of June 27, 2025. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The Mayor of Venice even released a statement dispelling some of the rumors, adding that there will only be 200 guests in attendance and that the couple promised that the event won't disturb the fragile city's historic architecture. But Sánchez has insisted that she's just "like every other bride," telling People she even "has a Pinterest board" for ideas as she plans what sounds like the wedding of every girl's dream: One with an unlimited budget. So, what's Lauren Sánchez's net worth? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lauren Sánchez has an estimated net worth of $30 million in 2025. It's unclear how much of that she has made herself, since the website does not provide specifics on Sánchez's salary or career earnings. However, it does report that Sánchez's first husband, Patrick Whitesell, has a net worth "north of $300 million," due to his role as partner at WME, the William Morris Endeavor talent agency, which represents a roster of film stars, including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Ryan Reynolds, and Denzel Washington. Related: Jeff Bezos' net worth: How Amazon's founder spends his billions WME also owns the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC, a major global sports brand as well as the world's largest mixed martial arts organization. UFC events are watched by millions of people on pay-per-view streaming channels, so you can see how Whitesell amassed such wealth. People reported that when Sánchez and Whitesell divorced in 2019, they divided up their property according to the prenuptial agreement they had in place. Since Sánchez already seems to be familiar with prenups, she may not have had an issue signing one with Bezos. According to Evolve Media, Bezos has a "watertight" prenup in place ahead of his wedding to Sánchez. Evolve cited a source by a Hollywood attorney named Alphonse Provinziano, who leaked details of their agreement to the media, comparing its complexity to a "business merger," and stating that it would "survive any legal challenge." Provinziano went on to say that Bezos made the resources of a legal team available to Sánchez so that she could understand the "complex accounting arrangements and business deals he's involved in," in the hopes that, should they divorce in the future, she would be unable to claim that "he hid certain assets from her." On December 19, 1969, Lauren Wendy Sánchez was born. Both of her parents were pilots. Her father, Ray Sánchez, later became a businessman in the aviation industry, while her mother, Eleanor, was also Los Angeles' former Assistant Deputy Mayor. Sánchez is a third-generation Mexican American, and she was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a cheerleader at Del Norte High School, Sánchez struggled in school. She graduated in 1987 and went on to study acting and speech at the University of New Mexico before moving to California and transferring to El Camino College. There, a professor diagnosed Sánchez as dyslexic, giving her a pocket dictionary as a tool to aid her writing. "It changed my life," she later told The Daily Mail, "I went from barely a 2.0 student to the dean's list and got a scholarship to USC." Sánchez majored in communications at USC, and while in college, she interned at Los Angeles' TV station KCOP-TV. In 1994, she was offered a full-time job as a reporter at KTVK in Phoenix, Arizona, and her career began. Related: Who is Mark Zuckerberg's wife? Everything to know about Priscilla Chan The 5'3" reporter next had a stint as an entertainment reporter on the syndicated entertainment news show "Extra." She later co-hosted "Good Day LA" and was also an anchor on "Fox 11 News at Ten." But entertainment wasn't her only interest. As an avid sports fan, Sánchez also held jobs as an anchor and correspondent for Fox Sports Net. She received an Emmy nomination for the sports talk show "Going Deep" and was a reporter on "The Best Damn Sports Show Period." Sánchez didn't only work as a reporter on TV; she also appeared in films as one, too. Her credits include small parts in 1999's "Fight Club" starring Brad Pitt; 2005's "Fantastic Four," "Akeelah and the Bee" (2006), "College Road Trip" (2008), and "Ted 2" (2015), to name a few. In 2000, Sánchez auditioned for a co-hosting seat on "The View," but ultimately lost out to journalist Lisa Ling. Although she was crushed, Sánchez later revealed that she did take a valuable lesson from the experience-from none other than Barbara Walters herself. The veteran broadcaster noticed that Sánchez had traded her usually glamorous, form-fitting attire for a more conservative look, and asked her what she was thinking. Sánchez recounted Walters' advice to her, saying "If you're going to go down, go down as yourself. Because if you don't go down as yourself, you're going to beat yourself up twice." In 2005, Sánchez was offered the chance to host the popular FOX show "So You Think You Can Dance?," although she left after one season to focus on her children. In 2009, in celebration of her 40th birthday, Sánchez made a career pivot and obtained her helicopter pilot's license. In 2016, she founded Black Ops Aviation, the first woman-owned aerial film and production company. In 2018, Bezos' aerospace company, Blue Origin, hired Black Ops Aviation to film footage of its space travel adventures, although the two were rumored to have met a few years earlier, possibly as early as 2016, at an Amazon Studios party for the film "Manchester by the Sea." Lauren Sánchez has been in the news a lot recently-and not just for her highly anticipated wedding. Why did Lauren Sánchez go to space? On April 14, 2025, Sánchez led an all-female crew on a 10-minute suborbital space flight aboard Blue Origin's NS-31 self-flying rocket. The crew, which reached an altitude of 65 miles above the Earth, consisted of Sánchez, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, TV personality Gayle King, and pop star Katy Perry, received widespread media attention-although little of it was positive. Critics decried the move as little more than a vanity project for a billionaire and his girlfriend-tone-deaf at a time of widespread economic disparity-and memes and parodies on social media were quick to follow. Why was Lauren Sánchez at the Presidential Inauguration? On January 20, 2025, Sánchez appeared alongside her boyfriend at the Inauguration of President Donald Trump. They were part of a group of billionaires known as the "New Oligarchs," which included Apple's CEO Tim Cook, Alphabet's CEO Sundar Pichai, and Tesla's CEO Elon Musk. Trump had offered them seats of honor-in front of his own cabinet picks, which was seen by many as controversial. But Sánchez's outfit ruffled even more feathers, since she chose to wear a cleavage-baring white corset with a suit jacket to what is normally viewed as a conservative political occasion.

As a natural beauty who participated in beauty pageants as a teenager, she was later named one of "People's Most Beautiful" in 2010 and appeared in US Weekly's "Hot Bodies" issue. But in recent years, Sánchez has been criticized for her increasingly plasticized appearance, and many believe she's had breast implants and lip injections, although she has neither publicly confirmed nor denied the procedures. Her lips, which seem to inflate with Amazon's earnings, have been particularly scrutinized-leading people to ask Google, "Can Lauren Sánchez close her mouth?" Sánchez has been engaged numerous times, accepting rings from the late sports broadcaster Rory Markas and Baltimore Ravens' wide receiver Anthony Miller. In addition, she and Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Tony Gonzalez had a four-year relationship that ended in 2002; in 2001, she gave birth to his son, Nikko. They have maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship. Sánchez dated "NYPD Blue" actor Henry Simmons from 2002–2003. After saying "yes" to his marriage proposal, the couple owned a home in Manhattan Beach, Calif., before eventually breaking things off. Allegedly, Sánchez started seeing Patrick Whitesell while they were still living together. Sánchez and Whitesell met through mutual friends in 2005; their August wedding was a celebrity affair attended by Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Hugh Jackman, and, of course, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Sánchez and Whitesell had two children together, son Evan (born 2006) and daughter Eleanor (b. 2008), before filing for divorce in April 2019. Under the terms of their agreement, which was finalized that October, they share joint custody of both children. Another rumor going around contends that Whitesell himself may have introduced Sánchez to Bezos, as he had suggested that they "work together on a documentary." Sánchez and Whitesell bought a Beverly Hills mansion for $11 million in 2006. In 2017, they purchased an adjoining lot for $4.5 million; it had been owned by the late director Tony Scott. Fast forward to 2021, and Bezos and Sánchez were part of a private transaction that purchased a sprawling compound on the Hawaiian island of Maui for $78 million. In addition to a 4,500-square-foot home, the 14-acre spread includes a separate guesthouse, outdoor kitchen, pool, private beach, and expansive Pacific Ocean views. But Bezos and Sánchez's main residence is actually on the other side of the country, in the Sunshine State of Florida. The couple owns a series of properties in Miami's exclusive Indian Creek neighborhood, known as the Billionaire Bunker. Their three-mansion compound is worth a combined $238 million, and their neighbors include Tom Brady, Ivanka, and Jared Kushner. In April 2025, Bezos sold the home he had purchased after divorcing his first wife, Mackenzie Scott. The sprawling 9,420-square-foot abode sold for $63 million, making it the most expensive home ever sold in Washington state. Bezos is rumored to have relocated to Florida to avoid paying the capital gains tax.
