The best that Bezos' money can buy: The billionaire's Venice wedding to Lauren Sánchez causes a stir
VENICE, Italy — The sky itself is no limit for billionaire Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez, who have traveled into space — and expectations are just about as high for their wedding in Venice. One of the world's most enchanting cities as backdrop? Check. Star-studded guestlist and tabloid buzz? Of course. Local flavor? You bet. Beyond that, the team of the world's fourth-richest man has kept details under wraps. Still, whispers point to events spread across the Italian lagoon city, adding complexity to what would have been a massive logistical undertaking even on dry land. Dozens of private jets touched down at Venice's airport, and yachts pulled into the city's famed waterways. Aboard were athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders, converging to revel in extravagance that is as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. The heady hoopla recalled the 2014 wedding in Venice of actor George Clooney to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, when adoring crowds lined the canals and hundreds of well-wishers gathered outside City Hall. Not so for these nuptials, which have become a lightning rod for protests. Still, any desire to dampen the prevailing fever pitch has yet to materialize. Instead, the glitterati were set to party, and the paparazzi jostling for glimpses of the gilded gala. Whatever happens, it will be a wedding for the ages. Venice is famed for its network of canals, where gondoliers croon for lovestruck couples and even ambulances are aquatic. But water transport of everything from bouquets to guests makes Venice among the world's most challenging cities for a party, according to Jack Ezon, CEO of luxury travel advisory and event planner Embark Beyond. 'It's a very tight-knit community; everyone there knows everyone, and you need to work with the right people,' said Ezon, whose company has put on a dozen high-end events in Venice. 'There's very tight control, especially on movement there with boats.' It at least triples the cost versus staging the same soiree in Rome or Florence, he said. Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia was first to give an estimated tally for the Bezos/Sánchez bash: He told reporters this week the most recent total he saw was between 40 million and 48 million euros (up to $56 million). It's an eye-popping, jaw-dropping figure that's over 1,000 times the $36,000 average cost of American couples' weddings in 2025, according to wedding planning website Zola's annual report. Bezos' team has been tight-lipped about where these millions are going. When the youngest son of Asia's richest man married last July, performances by pop stars Rihanna and Justin Bieber pushed up the price tag. 'How do you spend $40 million on a three- or four-day event?' Ezon said. 'You could bring headliners, A-list performers, great DJs from anywhere in the world. You could spend $2 million on an incredible glass tent that's only there for 10 hours, but it takes a month to build,' or expand the celebration to local landmarks. There's no sign Sánchez and Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon, intend to take over any of Venice's tourist-thronged hotspots. Still, intense hand-wringing about the prospect prompted their wedding coordinator, Lanza & Baucina, to issue a rare statement calling those rumors false. On Thursday, a string of water taxis cut through the lagoon to bring Bezos, Sánchez and guests to the Madonna dell'Orto cloister as some onlookers cheered. Paparazzi followed in their own boats, trying to capture guests on camera — Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom — as police on jet skis patrolled. On Friday afternoon, Sánchez emerged from her hotel wearing a silk scarf on her head and blew a kiss to journalists before stepping into her water taxi. It carried her through the canals to San Giorgio island, across the lagoon basin from St. Mark's Square, where the couple is expected to hold a ceremony later in the day. Associated Press journalists circling the island earlier saw private security personnel stationed at every landing point, including its newly installed dock. Local media have also reported a reception Saturday in the Arsenale, a former navy base best known as a primary venue for the Venice Biennale. There are some who say these two should not be wed in this city. They characterize the wedding as a decadent display of wealth in a world with growing inequality, and argue it's a shining example of tourism taking precedence over residents' needs, particularly affordable housing and essential services. Venice is also one of the cities most vulnerable to rising sea levels from climate change. 'Venice is not just a pretty picture, a pretty postcard to please the needs and wants of the elite or of mass tourists, but it is an alive city, made of people who want to actually live there,' Stella Faye, a university researcher from Venice, said on Friday. About a dozen Venetian organizations — including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups — are protesting under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words referring to his space exploration company Blue Origin and the bride's recent space flight. Greenpeace unfurled a banner in St. Mark's Square denouncing Bezos for paying insufficient taxes. Activists floated a bald-headed Bezos-inspired mannequin down Venice's Grand Canal atop an Amazon delivery box, its hands clenching fake cash. Authorities — from Venice's mayor to the nation's tourism minister — have dismissed the outcry, saying it ignores the visibility and economic boost the wedding brings. 'There will be photos everywhere, social media will go wild over the bride's dress, over the ceremony,' Italy's tourism minister, Daniela Santanchè, told the AP. 'All of this translates into a massive free publicity campaign. In fact, because they will spend a lot of money, they will enrich Venice — our shopkeepers, artisans, restauranteurs, hotels. So it's a great opportunity both for spending and for promoting Italy in the world.' As Amazon's CEO, Bezos usually avoided the limelight, frequently delegating announcements and business updates to his executives. Today he has a net worth of $231 billion, according to Forbes. In 2019, he announced he was divorcing his first wife, MacKenzie Scott, just before the National Enquirer published a story about an affair with Sánchez, a former TV news anchor. Sánchez filed for divorce the day after Bezos' divorce was finalized. He stepped down as CEO in 2021, saying he wished to spend more time on side projects, including Blue Origin, The Washington Post, which he owns, and his philanthropic initiatives. Sitting beside Sánchez during an interview with CNN in 2022, he announced plans to give away the majority of his wealth during his lifetime. Last week, a Venetian environmental research association issued a statement saying Bezos' Earth Fund was supporting its work with an 'important donation.' CORILA, which seeks protection of the Venetian lagoon system, said contact began in April, well before any protests.

A British Summer Dessert That Doesn't Have to Be Perfect
Culinary legend has it that Eton mess — a mixture of whipped cream, broken meringues and fresh berries — was invented in the 1920s, when an overexcited dog crushed a meringue confection at the British boarding school that shares its name with the dessert. In reality, the recipe dates back at least to the 19th century, when it appeared on a menu served to Queen Victoria as Eton Mess aux Fraises. Either way, the sweet is quintessentially British and, for the fashion designer turned ceramics artist Henry Holland, 42, a delicious reminder of his childhood in Ramsbottom, a small town near Manchester where he often made Eton mess with his mother using berries from their garden. 'You can help with it when you're really young because the whole point is making a mess,' he says. On a warm day in June, Holland was preparing his own version — which features vanilla and orange blossom-flavored whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped mint — for the other ceramists working at his studio in Hackney, in East London. The serving vessel, a blue-and-white platter, was from his latest collection of gingham-patterned pottery, which also includes vases named for his favorite desserts: Battenberg, Pavlova and, of course, Eton. Holland first started working with clay when — after closing his 13-year-old fashion label, House of Holland, in 2020 — he took a class on a whim and quickly found himself 'addicted to the medium,' he says. He began posting pieces for sale on his Instagram page, and the London department store Liberty placed an order, prompting him to launch his own studio in 2021. With bold silhouettes and a bright color palette, the line is inspired by Holland's love for the Memphis Group and Art Deco design. He uses the Japanese technique of nerikomi — which involves layering and rolling together pieces of clay in various colors — to create swirling patterns. Over the past four years, Holland has expanded his offerings to include lighting, glassware, wallpaper and fabric, and he has plans to debut furniture in the near future. Still, his schedule remains less frantic than it once was: he aims to release one new collection every eighteen months, as opposed to the four per year expected by the fashion industry. The happy result: more time to host friends at his home in London's Victoria Park neighborhood, which he shares with his husband and business partner, David Hodgson, 43. In the summer, a simple garden salad and barbecued meats are often followed by heaps of Eton mess. 'It's always well received,' he says. 'Who doesn't love a bit of cream and sugar?'

Rick Hurst Tributes Pour in Following 'Dukes of Hazzard' Actor's Death
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tributes have poured in for Rick Hurst, best known for playing Deputy Cletus Hogg on the hit series The Dukes of Hazzard, after he died at the age of 79. Hurst's ex-wife, Candace Kaniecki, confirmed his death in Los Angeles on June 26 to TMZ, calling it "unexpected." The cause of death is not yet known—Newsweek has contacted the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) via email for comment. Why It Matters Hurst played an integral role in a television series that remains a cultural touchstone for fans of 1970s and 1980s American television. His character, Deputy Cletus Hogg, was a comedic and endearing fixture of The Dukes of Hazzard, remembered for his hapless attempts to catch Bo and Luke Duke and for the show's signature car chases and stunts. His unexpected passing also highlights the end of an era for a show that, despite its controversies, continues to draw nostalgic viewership around the world. What To Know Born in 1946, in Houston, Texas, Hurst's acting career gained momentum with roles in sitcoms and dramas throughout the 1970s. He joined The Dukes of Hazzard in 1979 during a time of transition in the cast, fitting in seamlessly and becoming a beloved figure both on-screen and at fan events across the country. Hurst is survived by two sons, including Ryan Hurst, known for his role on Sons of Anarchy. The actor was married twice, most recently to Katherine Shelley Weir, until their divorce in 1991. He had been scheduled to appear at Cooter's Place, a museum dedicated to The Dukes of Hazzard, on July 3. What People Are Saying Ben Jones, who played Cooter Davenport on The Dukes of Hazzard, paid tribute to Hurst in a heartfelt Facebook post shared by Cooter's Place: "I have known Rick for over 45 years and there wasn't a minute of that time that he didn't leave me smiling or laughing," he added: "He was a fine actor, a splendid comic, and a wonderfully supportive colleague." The official Dukes of Hazzard fanpage wrote: "With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Rick Hurst, the beloved actor who brought warmth, humor, and unforgettable charm to the role of Deputy Cletus Hogg on The Dukes of Hazzard. "Rick passed away today, leaving behind a legacy that stretches far beyond Hazzard County." "To fans, he was more than a character—he was family. His gentle smile, impeccable comedic timing, and kind-hearted spirit made every scene brighter. Off-screen, Rick was known for his generosity, humility, and love for connecting with fans at events across the country. Whether it was a reunion special or a meet-and-greet at Cooter's, he never stopped sharing his joy with the people who adored him." Duke of Hazzards collector Larry Franks wrote on X: "Very sad news. Our great friend Rick Hurst has passed away. Please pray for his family. We will miss you Cletus!" Very sad news. Our great friend Rick Hurst has passed away. Please pray for his family. We will miss you Cletus! — Larry Franks (@larryafranks) June 27, 2025 Actor and singer John Schneider posted on Facebook: "I just this moment heard about the passing of dear Rick Hurst, a.k.a. Cletus Hogg. You were remarkable force for humanity, sanity and comedy my friend. "Heaven is a safer and more organized place with you in it. We'll keep the race going and people laughing until we meet again!" What Happens Next It is not yet known what Hurst's cause of death was—Newsweek will update this story when that information is revealed.
