Venice Residents Protest Bezos-Sanchez Wedding Ahead of June Ceremony

VENICE, ITALY, JUN 13 – Venice locals and activists protest Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's multi-day wedding citing concerns over overtourism, environmental damage, and disruption to residents' daily life.

  • Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez will hold their three-day wedding starting June 24, 2025, on Venice's island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
  • The couple's two-year engagement followed Bezos' 2019 divorce from Mackenzie Scott, which cost him a $38 billion Amazon stake.
  • Venetian locals protest the wedding due to tourism overcrowding and environmental harm, with signs like “No space for Bezos” displayed citywide.

  • The event may worsen Venice's pollution and overtourism problems despite reduced scale, as critics highlight Bezos' carbon-heavy yacht and private jets arrivals.
