Venice, Glamour, and the No-Show of the Year! As the world gears up for the wedding of the decade, billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez are throwing a lavish three-day celebration in Venice worth between $15 and $20 million. The guest list reads like a who’s who of global stars: Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom. But where’s Donald Trump?
Trump Declines Invitation – Scheduling Conflict or Something Else? Although officially invited, U.S. President Donald Trump will not attend this exclusive event. His office says he couldn’t align his schedule but doesn’t specify which commitments got in the way. American media speculate the reason is personal – the relationship between Trump and Bezos has never been warm. Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, has often criticized Trump’s administration, and Trump has publicly condemned Bezos in return.
Trump Family Still in Venice! While Donald is a no-show, part of his family is present! Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children were spotted cruising Venice’s iconic gondolas and strolling through the historic city center.
Venice as a Stage for Wealth and Charity Bezos and Sanchez legally married earlier in the U.S., so the Venice ceremony is symbolic. Guests were told not to buy gifts but to donate in the couple’s name to charities, including those dedicated to preserving the Venetian lagoon.
Luxury at Every Turn The celebrations take place at luxurious Venetian venues, including the Aman hotel, where a night’s stay costs around $14,000. The wedding’s price tag is estimated at a staggering $15 to $20 million.
The Bottom Line? While the world marvels at the opulence and glamour, Trump’s absence casts a shadow over the event. Is it just a scheduling conflict or a cold war between two powerhouses? Or maybe Trump just decided to skip another party where he’s not the star.
If you find this billionaire-president drama amusing or infuriating, drop a comment! Who knows, maybe Bezos and Trump will share a gondola ride next time? Or will they keep avoiding each other like cats and dogs? Just watch and enjoy the spectacle!
