Tech execs attend Trump’s inauguration
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and other top tech executives attended Trump’s presidential inauguration.
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner lead the A-list guests who have begun arriving for the glitzy Italian wedding week of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez.
Trump, a close friend of Sánchez, and Kushner were pictured arriving Tuesday, June 24, in Italy as was Belgian fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, who created the eponymous brand DVF. Investor Bill Miller’s superyacht was also spotted arriving in town.
Bezos and Sánchez, who went public with their relationship in 2019 and got engaged in 2023, are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, the city previously confirmed.
The wedding comes about six years after the Amazon founder began dating Sánchez following his split from ex-wife and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
Bezos and Sánchez have been rather tight-lipped about their upcoming nuptials, and the exact date of their wedding has not been revealed.
Reuters previously reported that the three-day wedding is likely to occur between June 26 and 28. But one thing, though, is for sure: The socialites’ fête is likely to be star-studded as they both boast dozens of A-list friends.
Possible attendees include husband and wife duo actor Orlando Bloom and singer Katy Perry; media personalities Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, TV icon Oprah Winfrey and “CBS Mornings” co-anchor Gayle King; and actress Eva Longoria.
Sanchez’s ex and NFL legend Tony Gonzalez — considered one of the greatest tight ends in history — and his wife October “Tobie” Gonzalez, friends of “The Fly Who Flew To Space” author, are also expected to attend.
As the billionaire Amazon founder and his fiancée prepare to walk down the aisle, their celebrations have also reportedly been impacted by protests, which see the event as a sign of garish commodification of a fragile city.
Local anti-tourist activists, members of Greenpeace Italy and the U.K. group “Everyone hates Elon” (Musk) are among those protesting against the wedding ceremony, saying city authorities were prioritizing tourism over resident needs, Reuters reported.
