Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's guest list: Kim Kardashian, Leo DiCaprio, but no ‘space sister' Katy Perry
The tech multi-billionaire has ruffled feathers by deciding to wed in the Italian lagoon city, which is sinking at a rate of one to two millimetres a year, exacerbated by rising sea levels.
Oxfam has previously estimated it would take an average person 207 years to emit as much carbon as Jeff Bezos does in 12 months – and that's only counting the impact of his private jet.
Let's not forget the controversy of Bezos's courtship with the 55-year-old former TV journalist.
He and Sanchez were found to be romantically involved while both were married to their previous partners, Mackenzie Scott and Patrick Whitesell.
When their affair was exposed in 2019, it came with a series of embarrassing sexts and alleged nude pictures.
So they're not exactly America's sweethearts, nor Venice's. But there will be some people looking on fondly as the pair tie the knot: their close, personal, powerful friends.
Kim Kardashian has already arrived with mum Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian. They were seen boarding water taxis with Kim wearing a Balenciaga boob tube, skirt and snakeskin heels, while Khloe opted for a leopard print jumpsuit and matriarch Kris wore a black lace confection.
Kim has become close with Sanchez over the past few years and recently attended her hen party in Paris.
Jenner is also close with Sanchez, and is attending with partner Corey Gamble.

Ivanka Trump, husband Jared Kushner and their three children – Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James – have also all made their way there.
Gaga and Elton are good friends and were happy to do it together
According to reports, the entertainment for the wedding is pretty impressive, with Elton John and Lady Gaga allegedly scheduled to perform.
'Lauren wanted some big talent to sing for them, and it just doesn't get any bigger than Gaga and Elton,' a source said.
'It also helps that Gaga and Elton are good friends and were happy to do it together, which is cool. It will be like a mini vacation for the besties.'
However, reps for Lady Gaga and Elton John have denied the stars will be performing at the wedding, despite repeated reports.
Other high-profile A-listers expected to attend are Fantastic Four actress Jessica Alba, who has been friends with Sanchez for years, since before her relationship with Bezos, and Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, who also attended the hen party.
However, there may be one very famous face absent from the wedding proceedings.
Katy Perry, Sanchez's 'space sister' who accompanied her on the all-female Blue Origin flight to space last April, was due to perform in Australia yesterday, the first day of the wedding celebrations.
Outlets have reported that her partner Orlando Bloom will be attending alone amid rumours of the couple having split.
However, Sanchez will have one space sister, with presenter Gayle King expected to attend, as well as Oprah Winfrey.
Donald Trump Jr and his new girlfriend Bettina Anderson – who Sanchez is close friends with – are also set to attend.
There's a question mark beside Elon Musk following his fallout with Donald Trump
Donald Trump himself has been floated as a guest – he was in Europe for the Nato summit in the Netherlands this week.
Then there are the celebrity guests who attended the pair's engagement party: these include Leonardo DiCaprio, who also has a noted interest in space travel, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
As for the other tech bros, billionaire Bill Gates and CEO of TKO Group Holdings Ari Emanuel were also present for the couple's engagement party, promoting suspicion they will attend the wedding.
There's a question mark beside Elon Musk following his fallout with Donald Trump and notable step back from public life, prompting a Politico article entitled 'Why has Elon Musk disappeared from the spotlight?'
Musk and Bezos once had a long-documented rivalry, but appeared to become cordial, united by their fondness for Trump, around last January.
It's not known whether he has snagged an invite.
