What does the man who has everything get his girlfriend when it's time to pop the question? About two years ago, Lauren Sánchez found out.
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 61, and journalist Lauren Sánchez, 55, are set to tie the knot in Venice this week following a surprise 2023 engagement. In a Vogue profile published in November of that year, Sánchez revealed that Bezos, at the start of that summer, hid the ring under her pillow after dinner.
"When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit," she told the outlet.
