Bill Gates and Kylie Jenner's private jets among those flooding into Venice ahead of Jeff Bezos' wedding
Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner were also photographed with her in Venice, boarding a water taxi, before they met Orlando Bloom and the fashion designer Domenico Dolce.
Kardashian attended Snchez's bachelorette party in Paris last month, which included a boat ride down the Seine.
Kylie Jenner's Bombardier Global 7500 arrived from Budapest around 3:30 p.m. local time, soon followed by Bill Gates ' G650, which came from Brussels.
Earlier in the day, Oprah Winfrey 's G700 also landed in Venice, per ADS-B Exchange. Business Insider's reporter in Venice saw Winfrey and the broadcaster Gayle King boarding a boat by the airport.
The NFL legend Tom Brady was also pictured at the dock around noon, shortly after a charter jet arrived from Miami, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Gulfstream G650 landed about 1:30 p.m. local time.
Another G650, which JetSpy says is owned by James Murdoch, the son of the media mogul Rupert Murdoch, landed in Venice on Thursday, too. So did another jet belonging to hedge fund billionaire John Griffin. Plus, Queen Rania of Jordan arrived on a government G650.
Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel and his wife, fashion designer Sarah Staudinger, were also photographed arriving. They appear to have traveled on a Global 6000 owned by Endeavor Group Holdings, of which Emanuel is CEO.
Endeavor's executive chairman, Patrick Whitesell, is Snchez's ex-husband.
Bezos, who is one of the world's richest people and is worth just over $230 billion, owns three planes, according to JetSpy. Two aircraft — the G700 and a G650 — have been hopping around the Mediterranean in recent days. They were both parked across the Adriatic Sea in Dubrovnik on Thursday.
Bezos and Snchez kicked off their pre-wedding celebrations on Tuesday with a foam party on his $500 million superyacht, Koru, parked just off the Croatian coast.
Tuesday also saw the first pictures of guests at the Venice airport, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg's G500 landed about midday, and she was photographed at the water taxi dock.
A Bombardier Global 7500 owned by her husband, the Fox cofounder Barry Diller, arrived in Venice at about noon on Wednesday, per ADS-B Exchange data.
Rising activity
"Jeff Bezos' wedding this week in Venice is likely to draw an influx of bizjets to nearby airports," said WingX, an aviation data firm.
It added that business-jet activity had already "risen significantly," with 33 arrivals into Venice and nearby Treviso on Sunday, almost double from a week earlier.
Data from Flightradar24, which doesn't display most private-jet arrivals for privacy reasons, showed five large business jets were scheduled to land on Thursday. That's compared with two on Wednesday, one on Tuesday, and none on Monday.

Starbucks just finished 'Project Sunshine,' a California office near the CEO's home
Starbucks has built out a 4,624-square-foot office — replete with "luxury" finishes — that CEO Brian Niccol can use while home in Newport Beach, California. Business Insider has learned that construction of the 13th-floor space — dubbed "Project Sunshine" in internal documents — was completed on July 2. Photos reviewed by BI show the office features polished chrome finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Pacific coastline, and an espresso machine that would cost $14,000 if you weren't a multinational coffee giant. It's a five-minute drive from Niccol's home base and about 1,200 miles from Starbucks' headquarters in Seattle, where most corporate workers were recently told to return to the office four days a week or leave the company. "Like every company, we want our CEO to be as productive as possible given the intense demands on his time," a spokesperson told Business Insider in a statement. "Brian spends the majority of his time visiting stores across the country and around the world and working in Seattle where he has both a home and an office. For when he is in California, he has access to one of our Starbucks offices — which will also be used by other Starbucks partners (employees) — with meeting space allowing him to use his time effectively and keep moving the business forward." The company's plan to build a Newport Beach office was first disclosed in an SEC filing that outlined Niccol's executive compensation package when he was hired last August. In addition to giving him a $1.6 million base salary and stock rewards of more than $95 million in his first four months on the job, the filing said, the company would establish a " small remote office" near Niccol's home in Orange County so he wouldn't have to commute daily to Starbucks' Seattle base. Starbucks has said that Niccol purchased a home in Seattle after starting in September 2024. It's not clear how often he is at the company's main office. The Newport Beach outpost is located in a commercial complex owned by the Irvine Company. It's near two country clubs, a steakhouse, and a hotel. Just outside the building lobby, in the shade of a row of palm trees, there's a ping-pong table, a flat-screen television, and outdoor workspaces that can be used by all tenants. Construction permits reviewed by Business Insider show Gensler, one of the world's leading architectural firms, was hired to design the space. Pacific Tusk Builders, a boutique contracting firm with a portfolio of projects for brands including Nickelodeon and Microsoft, completed the construction, permits show. Representatives for Gensler — known for designing the second-tallest skyscraper in the world, the Shanghai Tower, Chase Center in San Francisco, and Los Angeles' Academy Museum of Motion Pictures — did not respond to a request for comment. A representative for Pacific Tusk Builders told BI the project was "confidential," and they could not discuss details of its build-out. A floor plan for the construction, seen by BI, details instructions for the architectural firm and contracting team to create a space with "elegant lighting" and "luxury" finishes, including "gothic white oak" flooring and custom sinks and countertops. Renovations to the existing space were to include a near-total remodel from floors to light fixtures, including custom colors, polished concrete, and oak floors, and multiple conference rooms with picturesque views, according to the floor plan. The floor plan shows an executive office with an ensuite bathroom, from which an existing shower was removed; a board room; six offices; two meeting rooms; open workspaces, and a break area. The executive office is the largest room at 576 square feet — including the private bathroom. A spokesperson for Starbucks told BI the recently completed office is the first phase of construction for its satellite office in Newport Beach, and the company has additional space to expand its footprint in the area over time. Photos of the corner office reveal an open, airy layout with sleek leather furniture and a combination of both classic and new Starbucks-themed artwork, including a "Back to Starbucks" poster — a nod to Niccol's revitalization campaign at the company. Niccol came to Starbucks from Chipotle, where, as CEO, he oversaw a huge expansion, a doubling of revenue, and an eight-fold increase in the stock price. During his tenure at the Mexican restaurant chain, he moved the company's headquarters from Denver to Newport Beach. With Niccol now at its helm, Starbucks is attempting to reverse slumping sales, improve the customer experience, and address problems with its mobile ordering system and long wait times. Niccol previously faced backlash from some shareholders, corporate partners, and environmentalists for using the company's private jet to travel from Newport Beach to Seattle, where the iconic brand is deeply embedded with the local culture; critics said it clashed with the company's sustainability goals. The strict RTO mandate he issued earlier this month has also raised hackles among some corporate employees. It revoked the remote status of some managers and required others to relocate to Seattle or Toronto, or leave. As Business Insider has reported, some corporate Starbucks employees have expressed discontent about the culture shift, posting fliers about it and venting in Slack channels.

Mark Zuckerberg's $99,000 purple watch gets its distinct color from heat-treating titanium
You might've missed one of Mark Zuckerberg's latest watches. The Meta CEO wore a striking purple timepiece last month while announcing new Oakley Meta glasses. The DB28xs Purple Rain from De Bethune originally sold for $99,000 when it was released in 2024. Mark Zuckerberg added a splash of color to his multimillion-dollar watch collection earlier this summer. The Meta CEO was seen sporting an eye-catching purple watch in June in an Instagram post announcing Oakley Meta glasses. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) A closer look shows it's the DB28xs Purple Rain from Swiss watchmaker De Bethune. When it was released in 2024, the watch, a limited edition of 25, was priced at $99,000. On the resale market, it can fetch $100,000 to $120,000, depending on condition, Eugene Tutunikov, CEO of SwissWatchExpo, told Business Insider. Joshua Ganjei, CEO of European Watch Company, said this De Bethune isn't your typical luxury piece. "It's not a mainstream flex—it's a connoisseur's statement," Ganjei told Business Insider. "Seeing someone like Zuck embrace such a niche, design-forward piece speaks volumes about his evolving taste and the growing influence of independent haute horology." The science behind the watch's color is fascinating: It's made using the thermal oxidation of titanium metal, getting its striking purple shade from the heat released by the chemical reactions of heated titanium. This isn't the first time Zuckerberg has been seen sporting a piece from the high-end watchmaker. He wore a DB25 Starry Varius while speaking at a live taping of the "Acquired" podcast in San Francisco in September. Zuckerberg's interest in watches appears to stem from an interaction he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, shared with Anant Ambani at Ambani's pre-wedding party in March 2024. Photos showed Zuckerberg and Chan admiring a Richard Mille watch worn by the Reliance Industries heir. "You know, I never really wanted to get a watch, but after seeing that, I was like, watches are cool," Zuckerberg can be heard saying in a video of the interaction. Zuckerberg's watch collection includes everything from a $120 Casio to a $900,000 Greubel Forsey. He's also been seen wearing pieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, and F.P. Journe.
