**VENICE, ITALY –** Jeff Bezos, 61, has officially tied the knot with former news anchor Lauren Sánchez, 55, in a star-studded three-day wedding celebration in Venice, Italy. The event, held on June 27, 2025, boasted a guest list including Academy Award winners, fellow billionaires, Tom Brady, the Queen of Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner and Kim and Khloe Kardashian as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner and Domenico Dolce from Dolce & Gabbana, according to Reuters.

The high-profile nuptials have inevitably brought renewed attention to Bezos’s first marriage to MacKenzie Scott, 55. The pair met while working at D. E. Shaw & Co in New York City in 1992 and married in 1993. They remained married for 25 years before announcing their separation in 2019.

Their divorce settlement awarded Scott 25% of their shared Amazon stake, a figure valued at roughly $36 billion at the time, instantly making her one of the wealthiest women in the world. Bezos retained 75% of the Amazon stock and voting control. The former couple shares four children.

Since the divorce, MacKenzie Scott has become a prominent philanthropist. Through her foundation, Yield Giving, she has donated over $19 billion to more than 2,000 non-profits, becoming known for her rapid, no-strings-attached approach to giving. She is also a novelist, author of “The Testing of Luther Albright” (2005) and “Traps” (2013).

Scott briefly remarried to science teacher Dan Jewett in 2021, but that marriage ended in divorce in January 2023.

Bezos stepped down as Amazon’s president and CEO in 2021 and now serves as Executive Chair. His net worth is currently estimated at $226.7 billion, while Scott’s is estimated at $31.5 billion.
