Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez rung in 2025 with Hollywood pal after $500m yacht drama & $600m wedding rumours

The couple recently shut down millions-worth wedding ceremony rumours

Before ringing in the New Year, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were entangled in wedding rumours. Speculations around a potential opulent December 28 wedding with a budget of $600 million made headlines. Claims surrounding the suggested ceremony taking place at Kevin Costner’s Dunbar Ranch in Aspen were attributed to a Daily Mail report, also cited by several other outlets.

Eventually, the New York Post’s version of the story caught billionaire investor Bill Ackman’s attention, who questioned the credibility of the narrative, saying, “This is not credible. Unless you are buying each of your guests a house, you can’t spend this much money.” The Amazon founder subsequently responded to his post, quashing the visions of the rumoured wedding.

“The whole thing is completely false – none of this is happening,” he wrote on X. “The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been.”
