'I travelled Venice to spot Jeff Bezos but found something much more exciting'

Daily Mirror25-06-2025
A woman has shared her experience of trying to find Jeff Bezos in Venice ahead of his upcoming wedding to Lauren Sanchez, and she ended up finding something "even more exciting"
A woman on a quest to spot Jeff Bezos in Venice was gobsmacked when she stumbled upon what she believes to be another A-lister. The TikTok user, who goes by the handle QueenK, shared her wild encounter this week, leaving viewers astounded by her unexpected discovery.
Venice has already seen guests flocking to the city for Amazon boss Jeff Bezos's lavish multimillion-pound wedding set to unfold this weekend. The tycoon is all set to wed Lauren Sanchez in the historic Italian city, with the pair gearing up for three days of extravagant festivities that are rumoured to be setting them back a hefty €48m (£41m).

The high-profile event has sparked a celebrity-watching frenzy in Venice, with one woman making it her personal mission to catch a glimpse of Bezos himself. But, as fate would have it, her plans took an intriguing turn.

In her pursuit, she believes she encountered someone equally famous. Captioning footage of her escapade, she penned: "When you're looking for Jeff Bezos in Venice but find Michael Jordan."
In a humorous twist, after failing to locate the Amazon founder, she zooms in on a different spectacle and exclaims: "This is way more exciting. This is Michael Jordan's yacht.
"Michael, come out. Oh my gosh, M'Brace, M'Brace."
For those not in the know, basketball legend Michael Jordan is the proud owner of a colossal superyacht named M'Brace. The 224-foot behemoth, worth a staggering $115 million (£85.4 million), was crafted by Abeking & Rasmussen and previously bore the name Elandess, before being acquired by Jordan.
Although the yacht was sighted, it remains unconfirmed whether Jordan is actually in Venice at present. Last month, an anecdote about an American family obliviously dining next to Jordan in a Venetian eatery captured viral attention.

Yet, the video wasn't recent - it simply reignited conversation. During the encounter, the basketball legend engaged with the family, shared laughs and exchanged handshakes before departing.
This week, reports surfaced that a convoy of extravagant superyachts had descended upon Venice for the wedding, with one reportedly owned by Jordan. His attendance at the nuptials, however, has yet to be verified.
M'Brace was among the vessels spotted cruising Venice's waters as wedding preparations got underway. The ex-NBA star, whose fortune is estimated at $3.5 billion (£2.7 billion) acquired the 244-foot luxury craft a few years back.

The yacht is said to boast amenities such as an observation deck, an al fresco bar, an outdoor shower and a swimming platform, as per reports. In proximity, Shahid Khan, a Pakistani-American tycoon valued at $13.1 billion and owner of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, moored his $360 million (£266 million) yacht, dubbed Kismet.
Following the online circulation of the video, one spectator commented: "He's probably there for the wedding." Another inquired: "Where do they dock those yachts?"
The location of the couple's nuptials has been kept a closely guarded secret but, according to Reuters news agency, their wedding party has been relocated from the city centre at the last minute.
Originally, it was planned to be held at Scuola Grande della Misericordia, but a source informed Reuters that it will now occur at the Arsenale.
The 14th-century complex is encircled by water and becomes inaccessible by land when the bridges are lifted. It's reported that guests have already begun arriving in the city.

Love Island viewers left disgusted after discovering Harry's 'weird fetish'

Love Island fans flooded social media after pointing out an 'obsession' of Harry's during Monday's episode of the ITV2 dating show as he cosied up with Shakira Khan Love Island viewers have claimed that they've discovered Harry Cooksley 's 'fetish' as he cosied up with Shakira Khan during last night's show. The footballer, 30, is just days away from the final on the ITV2 dating show and in Monday night's instalment on the show, viewers watched as he took Shakira off for a chat in the dressing room. ‌ The pair recently recoupled after the Graftie awards, with Harry choosing Shakira over on/off girlfriend Helena Ford. Unpacking the recoupling, Harry told her: "That was not easy. Not in terms of who I was going to pick, but just both of you [Shakira and Helena] being stood up there." ‌ ‌ Shakira replied: "I can't believe we're back at day two, right back to where we started. Further back if that's even possible. This is no good." The pair both vowed that they would take 'baby steps' in going forward so that they could get used to the situation, and enjoyed a cuddle together. But as Harry leaned in for a kiss, Shakira turned to give him her cheek. But Harry then brought up the fact that one of them stank, and Shakira replied: "It's me, I'm ponging." An excited Harry said: "Are you? What a shame, come closer." The moment did not go unnoticed by viewers and they flooded social media with their reactions as they began to discover Harry's secret thing for armpits. One viewer wrote: "Harry's armpit obsession needs to be studied," whilst another wrote: "I thought Emma was the weirdo for the armpit thing, but it turns out Harry is the armpit fetish freak." A third said: "Harry's an actual weird man you know, wtf was that about another girls armpit you wanna smell?" whilst another declared: "Would be Harry that has an armpit fetish wouldn't it. Just makes sense." ‌ One fan did not take too kindly to learning of Harry's fetish and said: "I really didn't not need to know about Harry's armpit/smell fetish thank you very much! Like that knowledge has not improved my life a single iota!" Since the series has began, Harry has caught the eye of both Shakira and Helena, and his football club left fans outraged when they asked his pals back in the UK which woman he is better suited to. Farnham posted the results on TikTok and despite since deleting the clip, there was outrage at some of the replies from the footballers and coaches after it surfaced again. One player said: "He wants either Beyonce, or he wants Bonnie Blue" before saying Helena "would be good in bed" and offering more grim guidance. Another spoke to the camera and said: "He thinks Shakira is girlfriend material, but really, really, really wants to have sex with Helena." ‌ Even manager Paul Johnson waded in, saying: "Bin off Shakira, 100 per cent. She's a drip, nosey b***h." The comments kept on coming and a squad member went on: "Get rid of Shakira, she is as annoying as f**k" as another simply added: "I don't care, just get him back here and get him running." The clip found its way onto X and was slammed by many online. One wrote on the social media platform: "First time seeing this & I'm horrified, but not surprised! I have a 25yr old son who wouldn't dream of speaking like this about women. Who dragged up these cretins?!" Another said: "Hate it. disgusting. a sickness on society. where's antiseptic for my eyes?!" A third commented: "And people wonder why Harry acts like he does." On TikTok, someone else told the club they need to offer "serious education" for the "absolute buffoons". MirrorOnline have approached Farnham Town for comment. But other fans on social media have declared their support for the couple, with one claiming: "IF THERE IS A VOTE IM VOTING HARRY AND SHAKIRA WITH NO SHAME #LoveIsland," admitted one user. Another added: "Just watch! People will vote for Harry and Shakira," while a third said: "Yessss Harry beautiful speech, you're back in the game. Team Harry and Shakira" Love Island 2025 airs every night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
