He may now Bezos the bride.
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos married Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy, in an over-the-top wedding that the newlyweds have been celebrating for several days — even though they were already legally married — Page Six can confirm.
On Friday evening, a tuxedo-clad Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, exchanged vows on the San Giorgio Maggiore island in front of a barrage of star-studded guests including several Trumps, a couple Kardashians, a few Jenners, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Barbara Streisand and Orlando Bloom — sans Katy Perry.

In fact, Page Six was told that the couple’s three-day wedding weekend, which was organized by George and Amal Clooney’s wedding planners, will cost an estimated $50 million.
“It’s going to be perfect — everything they wanted and with everyone they love,” our source predicted last month.
The pair reportedly sourced almost all of their wedding goods from Venetian vendors, turning to the city’s oldest pastry maker, Rosa Salva, and Murano glass blower Laguna B.
Before their big day, Bezos and the former news anchor — who rented out the entire Aman Venice hotel for their stay — geared up with an opulent welcome party at the Madonna dell’Orto church that ended early because of a thunderstorm.

They also hosted a pre-wedding foam party aboard his $500 million megayacht, Koru.
As Page Six previously reported, Bezos and Sánchez quietly donated to a number of local charities in Venice as part of their wedding planning process.
The revelation came about after protestors gathered all over the City of Canals to criticize the business magnate, arguing, “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.”
