Jeff Bezos’ $500M Yacht hit with surprise raid as Lauren Sánchez’s sunbathing gets interrupted by customs officers

Jeff Bezos’ opulent $500 million yacht recently encountered an unexpected interruption. While his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, was enjoying some leisurely time sunbathing aboard, a team of customs officers unexpectedly boarded the vessel and carried out a surprise inspection near St. Barts. The search reportedly took place on New Year’s Eve.

The inspection, which took approximately three hours on New Year’s Eve, saw uniformed officers board the yacht with their equipment. Meanwhile, a stewardess guided them through the vessel during the search.

A source revealed that the customs search was simply “routine.” Interestingly, Jeff Bezos was nowhere to be found on Koru during the turmoil. Despite the officers’ presence, the guests’ mood seemed largely undisturbed. At one point, however, a stewardess was spotted in conversation with Lauren Sánchez, likely briefing her on the situation.

Sánchez seemed unconcerned, enjoying the company of friends, including her ex-boyfriend, Tony Gonzalez with whom she shares a 23-year-old son, Nikko. The former NFL star, looking remarkably fit, even took a refreshing dip in the ocean while the search was underway.
