Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez ‘wedding of the century’ to cost a staggering Rs…; no match for Rs 5000 crore wedding of Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani’s son Anant Ambani
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to host a three-day lavish wedding in Venice, Italy as he ties the knot with his fiancee Lauren Sanchez. As per media reports, Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez ‘wedding of the century’ will cost around €55 million (about Rs 548 crore), which is indeed a massive amount to spend on a wedding ceremony, but pales in comparison to last year’s ultra-extravagant wedding of Anant Ambani– the youngest son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani with Radhika Merchant.

According to several reports, Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India and all of Asia, and his wife, Nita Ambani, spent a staggering Rs 5000 crore on the wedding of their youngest child Anant Ambani, which was arguably one of the hottest events in the country in 2024. The grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was hosted at the Jio World Drive in Mumbai, and featured guests from all walks of life across the world, such as B-Town celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the world’s fourth-richest man, is set to tie the knot with his fiancee Lauren Sanchez in a extravagant wedding, which will reportedly be hosted aboard Bezos’ $500 million Koru Yacht. However, conflicting reports suggest that Koru, which is anchored Italy’s historic city of Venice for the occasion, will only be a part of the wedding celebration and not the venue.
Measuring an impressive 417 feet in length– longer than the length of a football field– Jeff Bezos’ Koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, and is estimated to be worth a staggering $500 million (over Rs 4329 crore). The yacht has nine cabins that can host up to 18 VIP guests.
According to a Daily Mail report, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have booked top-of-the-line hotels for their guests in Venice, including the Gritti Palace and Aman Venice, in their entirety from June 26 to June 29, 2025, with rooms at these opulent lodgings starting at $3200 a night and up to $32,000.
