Lauren Sánchez & Husband Jeff Bezos Live Such A Lavish Life
If there's one thing we know about Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos, it's that they're always making money moves. Since giving away a quarter of his Amazon stake to his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott as part of their 2019 divorce settlement, Bezos has doubled his then-already enormous fortune, boasting a net worth of nearly a quarter trillion dollars as of January 2026 (via Forbes). As for Sánchez, while she wasn't raking in anywhere near her hubby's outrageous earnings (unsurprisingly, considering Bezos reportedly makes $7.9 million per hour), she was also doing pretty well for herself long before the Amazon founder entered her life. She built a successful career as a television host, entertainment reporter, and news anchor, the latter of which earned her an Emmy Award. Sánchez also pursued her passion for flying by getting her helicopter pilot's license and launching her aerial filming company, Black Ops Aviation. Despite this, becoming Mrs. Bezos might still be her most lucrative role, as her estimated pre-wedding net worth of $30 million got bumped up to $100 million following their 2025 nuptials, per Celebrity Net Worth.
However, the Bezoses don't just get money; they're even better at spending it. We can admit that the two have used their dollars on some cool stuff over the years, including building a giant clock that will tick for 10,000 years beneath a mountain. The couple also awarded Dolly Parton an $100 million award in 2022 and donated similar amounts to support the ongoing fights against climate change and homelessness. But any goodwill these might have earned them was likely wiped out by the more eyebrow-raising ways they've spent their billions. From their controversial wedding to their seemingly endless vacations, here's a look at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' lavish life.
Their wedding was a multi-day affair in Venice, Italy
Jeff Bezos popped the question to Lauren Sánchez four years into their relationship in May 2023, but they took their sweet time before finally tying the knot. Just as people began speculating that the long delay was another glaring red flag in Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's relationship and a potential precursor to a breakup, the wedding finally took place, with the couple pulling out all the stops to make it an affair to remember. Held in Venice, Italy, the multi-day extravaganza began with a foam party with pals aboard the Amazon founder's superyacht and a welcome bash for the many celebrity guests who flew in for the wedding.
Then, on June 27, 2025, Bezos and Sánchez exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony attended by around 200 guests, including Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Queen Rania of Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner. The night ended in an extravagant reception with three-Michelin-star catering and a fireworks show, while the week-long celebration wrapped up the following day with a dance party, where the dress code was pajamas.
There were some head-scratching choices in Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding, like the gray office-esque carpet they decided to go with for the ceremony, but it's easy to see why the event cost them a pretty penny. After all was said and done, the festivities had racked up a $50 million bill, with Sánchez's outfits alone eating up a huge chunk of the (likely unlimited) budget.
Lauren Sánchez reportedly spends seven figures a month just on her outfits
Lauren Sánchez emerged as a new fashion star as her relationship with Jeff Bezos continually dominated headlines, but her glamorous style comes with a hefty price tag — a seven-figure one, to be specific. She reportedly spends around $1 million per month on her outfits, and it certainly shows. She could wear a $6,000 Dolce & Gabbana look to the airport one day and steal the show in a $2,890 Alexander McQueen dress and $6,000 Tyler Ellis clutch at a charity event the next. Even a casual girls' night out could see her rocking $30,000 in designer duds. So, we weren't all that surprised when we saw how much the former news anchor splurged on her wedding wardrobe. For her and Jeff Bezos' Venice wedding festivities, Lauren Sánchez wore three of her most expensive outfits ever, including a stunning $100,000 Schiaparelli corset dress and her $300,000 Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown that showed off her impossibly snatched waist.
Sánchez's love for fashion might have motivated her husband into ditching the puffy vests and T-shirts for a variety of designer ensembles. Like his wife, going out of his style comfort zone hasn't always paid off for the billionaire (a good case in point was that eye-searing jacquard jacket he wore to an event in Mumbai, India, in 2020). However, we've also gotten some standout fashion moments from Bezos since he got together with Sánchez, such as the monochrome gray look consisting of a coat, T-shirt, and jeans that he rocked at Paris Fashion Week in October 2025. The fact that the couple wore coordinating outfits at the time just made it better.
They spent $87 million on a temporary home while waiting for their megamansion to be built
When it comes to real estate, there's no "biggest" in Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' vocabulary — only bigger. They each had luxury homes to their name before getting together, but since going public with their relationship in January 2019, it's like they've been on a mission to outdo themselves with every property purchase. Not long after the dating news broke, Bezos forked out over $80 million for three Manhattan apartments overlooking Madison Square Park. Then, in early 2020, the tech mogul bought the then-most expensive home in California, though the couple didn't move into the $165 million, nine-acre estate right away and instead spent the pandemic lockdown enjoying luxury amenities at Bezos' waterfront property in Seattle, Washington, and sprawling ranch in Texas. Just months later, they added a 14-acre compound on Maui, Hawaii, to their portfolio for a record-breaking $78 million. All of these properties are equipped to cater to Sánchez and Bezos' every want and need, so they don't even have to leave home if they want to go horseback riding, play golf, take a dip in the pool, or have a spa day.
After getting engaged in 2023, Bezos and Sánchez decided to move to Florida, where they bought three estates on Indian Creek Island — a neighborhood so exclusive and expensive that its nickname is "Billionaire Bunker" — for a staggering $237 million. But if that weren't out of touch enough, the couple apparently spent around $90 million purchasing and renovating the third home just so they could live there temporarily while their marital megamansion is being built on the first two properties. Yes, Bezos and Sánchez's idea of a stopgap is an estate with its own pickleball court.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have some very expensive toys
Like pretty much everything else in their lives, Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos' toys are out of reach for most of us regular folk. After growing up around aircraft, as her parents operated a flight school, Sánchez started her own collection when she got into flying. The licensed pilot has a Cirrus plane — which ranges from $680,000 to a little over $1 million in price depending on the model — as well as a Eurocopter AS350 helicopter (now called Airbus H125) that she named after whiskey. It's unclear if she bought the latter new, but this particular model fetches around $1.85 million even when secondhand. When she's not flying her own helicopter, Sánchez travels in style aboard one of her hubby's impressive fleet of private jets, which includes a Pilatus PC-24, two Gulfstream G650ERs, and a Gulfstream G700. The latter alone comes with an eyewatering price tag of $96 million.
However, the crown jewel of Bezos' collection is no doubt his $500 million superyacht, Koru. The 417-foot-long boat is not only one of the couple's favorite modes of transportation, with the Bezoses often being photographed enjoying quality time aboard it, but it also played a role in their love story, as the billionaire popped the question to the former journalist on the ship during a getaway in the south of France. But while it's equipped with almost every amenity that money can buy, including a pool, multiple jacuzzis, and a movie theater, there was apparently not enough space for a helipad for Sánchez's use. Their solution? Buy a smaller, accompanying yacht for $75 million. If that's not outrageous enough, the two vessels also cost about $25 million per year just to staff, maintain, and operate.
They seem to have only two modes: partying or traveling
There's nothing Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos love more than a good vacation, taking quite a few of them each year. Since being spotted enjoying a getaway together in St. Tropez in August 2019, they've traveled to various parts of the world, either as a couple or with their family and friends. In August 2025, the couple was captured on video busting out moves at a nightclub in Ibiza, Spain. A few months later, they celebrated Christmas in Aspen, Colorado — where Bezos channeled Santa Clause by rocking a thick gray beard before going on to ring in the new year in St. Barts in the Caribbean. Clips from the latter even showed Sánchez standing on her seat and dancing as a fellow guest celebrated their birthday.
When they're not in vacation mode, Sánchez and Bezos can usually be found walking the red carpet at glamorous Hollywood and charity events or rubbing elbows with celebrities, presidents, and royals. In 2021, the couple sat down with King Charles III in Scotland for a discussion about climate change. They made their Met Gala debut in 2024 and have become a familiar sight at the likes of the annual Cannes Film Festival and Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Even more notably, they were invited to the White House by Joe Biden for a state dinner in honor of Japan's prime minister in April 2024 and to the Capitol for Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration in January 2025. And with the announcement that they're the primary donors of the 2026 Met Gala, it's clear that Sánchez and Bezos won't slow down anytime soon.
