What's included in prenups for billionaires like Jeff Bezos
Briefly

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are celebrating a lavish wedding in Venice, attracting media and celebrity attention. The event is a sophisticated affair, underscoring the couple's wealth and complexity stemming from previous marriages and divorces. Experts suggest they have likely engaged a multitude of legal and financial advisors to draft a detailed prenup to protect their assets, a sharp contrast to Bezos's first marriage where he lacked one, leading to substantial financial consequences. Their prior experiences necessitate a careful approach to their union's legal framework, especially given their significant individual assets.
Both Bezos and Sanchez have been married and divorced previously, notes Marilyn Chinitz, matrimonial attorney to several billionaires and celebrities like Tom Cruise and Michael Douglas. And Bezos famously did not have a prenup during that first marriage... Sanchez, too, is coming into the relationship with significant wealth, though on a different scale.
Chinitz... says the pair likely had teams of lawyers and other professionals-estate lawyers, cross-border tax lawyers, business lawyers, forensic accountants, wealth advisers, public relations reps-working on the agreements for months to a year or longer.
