‘None of This is Happening!” Jeff Bezos Goes On a Tirade Over Report He’s About to Get Married and Blow $600M on the Ceremony
Jeff Bezos is furiously denying a report that he is about to marry fiancee Lauren Sanchez in a $600 million ceremony in Aspen.
In a fiery post on X Sunday morning, the Amazon founder seethed about the report — which was first put out by the Daily Mail, then picked up by others — which stated he and Sanchez are set to tie the knot on Dec. 28 and drop more than half a billion on the event.
“[T]his whole thing is completely false — none of this is happening,” Bezos wrote. “The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been. Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible.”
Bezos added, “Will be interesting to see if all the outlets that ‘covered’ and re-reported on this issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen.”
The Mail reported, “The rumor in town – as yet unconfirmed – is that Bezos will be holding the ceremony at Kevin Costner’s 160-acre Dunbar Ranch.”
They added:
A source familiar with the wedding planning revealed to DailyMail.com that guests are set to arrive in Aspen’s top accommodations including the five-star St Regis Hotel after Christmas Day.
Bezos, the second-richest man in the world, is believed to have also booked up private mansions around the affluent town for his guests.
It was a post from another financial titan — Bill Ackman — which prompted Bezos to respond in the first place. Ackman, for his part, believes a $600 million wedding to be impossible.
“This is not credible,” Ackman wrote. “Unless you are buying each of your guests a house, you can’t spend this much money”
