One notable absentee from the guest list, however, was Hollywood actress Charlize Theron. And she\u2019s made her thoughts on the subject pretty clear.<\/p>\n At the fifth annual block party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project \u2013 which advances and invests in the health and safety of young people in Africa \u2013 the 49-year-old told attendees: \u2018I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that\u2019s OK because they suck and we\u2019re cool. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it\u2019s burning because it is.\u2019<\/p>\n The 2004 Oscar winner then continued, \u2018Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we\u2019re moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women\u2019s rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn\u2019t just policy, it\u2019s personal.\u2019 As the crowd began to applaud, Theron concluded, \u2018Yeah, fuck them!\u2019<\/p>\n Since Donald Trump became president in January 2025, Bezos and Trump have seemingly patched up their differences, which saw Amazon sue the Pentagon in October 2019 alleging that Trump had blocked the $2.33trillion (\u00a31.71tn) company from securing a $10billion (\u00a37.32bn) cloud-computing contract. For his part, Trump referred to Bezos publicly as \u2018Jeff Bozo\u2019.<\/p>\n However, cut to inauguration day \u2013 which was streamed live on Amazon Prime – and Bezos stood alongside Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg as Trump was sworn in to office. Plus, Ivanka Trump and her family, including husband Jared Kushner, were recent guests at Bezos and Sanchez\u2019s star-studded wedding.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Theron isn\u2019t the only person seemingly unhappy with Bezos, 61, and 55-year-old Lauren\u2019s extravagant displays of wealth.<\/p>\n According to The Hollywood Reporter,<\/em> numerous Venetian organisations took to the streets to protest including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups. One group displayed a banner which read, ‘Money cannot buy style\u2019 while another read, ’55 million dollars spent on the wedding just to get a divorce in three days’.<\/p>\n Greenpeace activists also had a large banner in St Mark’s Square protesting against the wedding. It showed an image of Bezos\u2019s face with the caption, ‘If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.’<\/p>\n On Friday 27th June, Bezos \u2013 who is worth a reported $237billion (\u00a3173bn) \u2013 and Sanchez wed in a private ceremony on the historic San Giorgio Maggiore island in the San Marco sestiere. The ceremony took place in front of 200 guests including the Kardashian-Jenner family (minus Kourtney who has been praised for staying home with husband Travis Barker and their seven kids), a pregnant Karlie Kloss, singer Ellie Goulding, actress Sydney Sweeney, former athlete Tom Brady, actor Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Usher, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. The latter recently joined Sanchez on an 11-minute flight to Space thanks to Blue Origin, founded by\u2026 you guessed it, Bezos.<\/p>\n Sanchez\u2019s wedding dress was a custom Dolce & Gabbana high-necked lace corseted gown with 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons dotting the front. It took 900 atelier hours to make and reportedly cost $300,000 (\u00a3219k). Mere pennies to Bezos and Sanchez \u2013 who apparently has her own net worth of $30million (\u00a321m).<\/p>\n After Sanchez\u2019s dress was revealed on a digital Vogue<\/em> cover posted to Instagram, American journalist and presenter Katie Couric said of Sanchez\u2019s wedding dress, \u2018Welcome to the eighties \u2013 when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back.\u2019 She has since deleted the comment, but the sentiment seems to echo the views of social media commenters one of whom wrote, \u2018[Sanchez] always looks like she\u2019s wearing Shein.\u2019<\/p>\n Sanchez\u2019s sons Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19 \u2013 who the journalist shares with ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzales and ex-husband Patrick Whitesell, respectively \u2013 reportedly walked her down the aisle, whilst her daughter Ella, 17, was her maid of honour and gave a reading during the ceremony.<\/p>\n The wedding celebrations kicked off on the Thursday with a foam party on Bezos\u2019s $500million (\u00a3366m) superyacht. Then on the Saturday, following the ceremony on the Friday, the newly married couple \u2013 who got engaged back in May 2023 \u2013 held a \u2018Dolce Notte\u2019 themed party where guests wore lingerie and pyjamas.<\/p>\n Each guest reportedly got a luxurious gift to take home: Vibi Venezia blue velvet slippers for the men, and black open-toe slippers for the women, as well as a goody bag waiting for them in their hotel rooms. It’s safe to say Theron probably won’t make the cut to the inevitable multi-million dollar vowel renewal either.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photos: <\/b>Getty<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hollywood actress Charlize Theron isn\u2019t happy….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":11672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11671"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11679,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11671\/revisions\/11679"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding.’<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/SLIDE-NINE-wedding-planner-cost-scaled.jpg” alt=”Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding” title_text=”Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Leave Their Hotel – Venice” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
