Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding could cost up to $11 million: Report
founder Jeff Bezos and fiancee
Lauren Sanchez
will tie the knot next month. The wedding is expected to take place from June 24 to June 26, 2026 in Venice, Italy. As the date gets closer, the number of rumours have also gone up. In the latest update, a report by NewsNation suggests that the couple may not be spending nearly as much of their billions as initially rumored. The report quotes a source who said 'It's going to be very intimate — just family and close friends. Under 200 people.'
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding cost
Guests likely to be invited to the wedding include Kris and Kim Kardashian, Gayle King, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Brian and Victoria Grazer among others. The wedding is rumoured to cost around $9.5 to $ 11 million, the NewsNation report adds. This estimated cost is based on various calculations, including expenses for hair, the dress, flowers, and the wedding planner.
As per CEOWorld, top-tier wedding planners like Colin Cowie can charge up to 20% of the total wedding cost to organize a flawless multi-day celebration — which means for a wedding costing at least $9.5 million, his fee could be a staggering $2 million. Dress, hair, makeup and flowers may make up to $525,000.
Will Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John perform at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding
A previous report suggested that the couple has hired Lady Gaga and Elton John to sing at their wedding. The NewsNation report denies the rumours, calling them 'false' and 'ridiculous'.

'The word is that they have booked the theater which has been restored,' a source told the publication. "It's not your usual venue for a wedding, it would be iconic,' the source added.
"Everyone is talking about the wedding and it's going to be a huge celebration."

AI and ‘Avyakt'
By Prasoon Joshi Every age and civilisation has redefined Creativity, but today, this Creativity is being subjected to unprecedented scrutiny and viewed through a different prism, that of AI. From celebration to caution and everything in between, it is discussed, debated, and dissected daily. Let's explore this. Is AI Truly Artificial? When we emphasise on 'Artificial Intelligence', are we being condescending or judgmental here? After all, it's rooted in human-produced data, our words, our images, our histories, our decisions, distilled into material. It feels transformative because it recombines the familiar with unprecedented speed and some polish. Next, let's distinguish between 'intelligent and Intelligence'. An intelligent person applies knowledge, reasoning, and experience to address specific situations within a defined context. Intelligence, however, is understood not merely as an individual faculty but as an expression of a deeper, infinite universal principle – the cosmic Intelligence. What sets human Creativity apart is our ability to make irrational leaps – the instinctive break of pattern. This is something AI will find hard to replicate. Philip Larkin, the poet and librarian, once observed that our best manuscripts are blank notebooks, because they contain infinite potential. AI can fill pages in seconds. Humans, by contrast, stare at blankness for hours, days, and at one point in time, leap. That leap – illogical, instinctive, disobedient – is where Creativity thrives. Ask AI for a poem about life's journey, and the likely output would be: 'The path is the destination; enjoy the journey.' Predictable and could be sharpened with a better prompt. Instead, i, as a poetic mind, would write: 'Raaste chahte hain main safar par niklu, par jab manzil mujh mein hi rehte ho to kaisa safar? Mujhe theher kar sunna hai apna aasman.' – Paths call me to travel, but when the destination is within me, where is the journey? I want to stand still and listen to my own sky. This is not syntax, or word soup – it is a voice shaped by my lived experience, my cultural context, and born of my seeking. AI can refine what is known, but it cannot reach into the 'avyakt' – the unexpressed. That which is yet unsaid – the instinct to wander where there are no paths, to hear what has not been heard. The most beautiful song has yet to be written, the most luminous smile still to be smiled, the highest flight still to be taken. Like i wrote, 'Main kabhi batlata nahi andhere se darta hoon maa, …main kabhi jatlata nahi teri parwah karta hoon maa', it resonated as it touched on what was felt but not expressed in this manner. Creativity is not a tidy arrangement; it is rupture – the break of pattern, defying the odds. AI cannot rupture itself. It is bound by what it has been fed. Humans, uniquely, can disobey even their own logic. That disobedience – the ability to surprise not only the world but ourselves – is the heartbeat of imagination. AI sharpens rather than diminishes human Creativity. As machines master the obvious and tidy the familiar, they leave us free to explore what lies beyond pattern: the ambiguous, the unformed, the unspoken. Here lies our task – to dwell in that space, to hear what has not been heard, to imagine what has no precedent. AI mirrors Intelligence as a vast collective, but imagination remains singular. Its role is to enlarge the canvas; ours is to paint. True Creativity will live wherever data ends and daring begins.
