Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos, Fiancée Lauren Sanchez Plan Extravagant Aspen Wedding This Christmas

Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos and his partner, Lauren Sanchez, are reportedly preparing for a "lavish" wedding in Aspen this Christmas, according to a report from *The Sun*, which cites an unnamed insider.

"They're getting ready for a winter wonderland wedding in Aspen this Christmas," the source is quoted as saying. "They're planning an extravagant ceremony and are sparing no expense in creating a white Christmas affair."

The couple, frequently seen around Aspen, Colorado, considered the town an ideal spot for their much-anticipated wedding, according to the report.

Currently 60, Bezos is the world's second-richest person, with a net worth estimated at $235 billion, as per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which also notes a year-to-date increase of $57.7 billion.

Sanchez, 54, formerly a well-known media personality, has held roles as a reporter and news anchor across various networks, including *The View*, KTTV, and Fox 11.

Their relationship began as an affair that surfaced in 2018, while both were still married-Bezos to Mackenzie Scott, and Sanchez to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell. At the time, Sanchez was reportedly in the process of divorcing Whitesell, which ultimately led to Bezos' split from Scott.

Since going public as a couple in 2019, Bezos and Sanchez have been seen together on numerous occasions.

"He loves her and would marry her tomorrow, the only thing holding up the wedding is his, and her, lawyers," the source added. Bezos proposed to Sanchez in May 2023 with a $2.5 million pink diamond engagement ring while they were vacationing on his superyacht in the South of France.

Following the engagement, they hosted a celebration in Positano, Italy, attended by high-profile guests including Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Jordan.
