Mon Dec 23 18:03:23 UTC 2024: ## Bezos Denies $600 Million Wedding Reports: “Completely False”
**Aspen, CO** – Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has vehemently denied reports claiming his upcoming wedding to fiancée Lauren Sanchez will cost a staggering $600 million. Bezos took to X (formerly Twitter) to label the reports as “completely false,” echoing similar sentiments from investor Bill Ackman.
The reports, which appeared in outlets like the Daily Mail and New York Post, detailed a lavish Aspen wedding planned for late December, featuring a private reservation at Matsuhisa sushi restaurant and a guest list of approximately 180, including high-profile celebrities. The alleged multi-day celebration was said to include a venue at Kevin Costner’s ranch.
Bezos’ statement directly refutes these claims, urging users to be wary of misinformation. He cited the speed at which false information spreads online, stating, “Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on.” Sanchez subsequently shared Bezos’ post on her Instagram stories, adding the words “not true.”
The unsubstantiated reports triggered a significant spike in online searches related to Bezos and Sanchez, according to Google Trends. The surge in interest followed the publication of the initial, now-debunked, wedding cost estimations.
While details of the Bezos-Sanchez wedding remain officially unconfirmed, the couple has categorically denied the reported $600 million price tag.
