Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have officially married in Venice, drawing both celebrity guests and protestors. The wedding has sparked controversy due to ongoing protests against tourism in the city, with locals criticizing it as an exploitation of Venice's cultural heritage. Protesters pointed out that extravagant events hosted by wealthy outsiders symbolize the commodification of the financial struggles facing the city. Notable attendees included celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates, with Matteo Bocelli performing a romantic number during the ceremony. The lavish event contradicts the conservation efforts the couple has pledged support to.
"This wedding is the symbol of the exploitation of the city by outsiders," a protester explained. "Venice is now just an asset."
Despite the ceremony being on Friday night, supposedly the big crazy party will be on Saturday, with DJ Cassidy performing.
