Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are not hosting a $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado, this weekend. Last week, rumors surfaced claiming that Bezos would marry his fiancée in an extravagant ceremony costing $600 million. However, the billionaire has firmly denied these reports. Bezos, who rarely uses social media, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and set the record straight. His public denial highlights just how upset he was about the false claims.
“Furthermore, this whole thing is completely false — none of this is happening. The old adage “don’t believe everything you read” is even more true today than it ever has been. Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible. Will be interesting to see if all the outlets that “covered” and re-reported on this issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen,” Bezos wrote.
Elon Musk’s ‘comforting’ reply
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is widely known to share a frosty relationship with Bezos, replied to Bezos’ angry post. “That said, I hope you do hold an epic wedding. It’s nice to know that epic events are happening somewhere in the world, even if one is not present. A world where there are amazing events somewhere is better than a world where they are happening nowhere,” wrote Musk in a post seemingly aimed at comforting Bezos.
No wedding dates confirmed
The Daily Mail was the first to report the $600 million wedding plan quoting a “well-placed source.” The report was then picked up by the New York Post. Billionaire Bill Ackman then quote-tweeted a now-deleted post from New York Post writing, “This is not credible. Unless you are buying each of your guests a house, you can’t spend this much money.” Ackman’s tweet was what Jeff Bezos quoted in his reply.
Incidentally, Bezos, 60, and his fiance, 54, have so far remained mum on their wedding plans and have not yet publicly confirmed their wedding date.
