Who is at Jeff Bezos's $10,000,000 wedding as A-list guests 'descend on Venice
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have jetted out to Venice this week to celebrate the severely swanky wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez. The billionaire businessman, 61, and the former journalist, 55, went public with their relationship in 2019, and announced their engagement in 2023, after four years of dating. Details have remained under wraps over their nuptials but plans haven't gone down well with locals who have launched protests – hanging banners, stickers, posters and signs around the area condemning the celebrations. Kim Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner have made the journey to Italy, having celebrated the bride's hen do in Paris last month. Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bill Gates have also been spotted in the area. As the couple prepare to walk down the aisle, here are the biggest names hitting the streets of Venice, their net worths and how they amassed their fortunes. Although a full, finalized guest list has not been shared, the outlet reports that a string of famous faces received invites to support the happy couple on their big day. Around 200 people were personally invited, with suggesting that they were spending roughly $50,000 per person – racking up a rumored $10million bill. It's hard to remember a time when Kim Kardashian and her family weren't across billboards, magazine covers, catwalks and our TVs and phone screens. The Kardashians shot to superstardom thanks to their popular reality series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, in 2007 and have barely looked back – with their current show, the Kardashians, breaking records on Hulu. The budding lawyer, who shares children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West, used her fame to set up a string of businesses including cosmetics brand, KKW. In 2019, she founded shapewear company Skims, which has been wildly successful – and launched collaborations withFendi, the NBA, the WNBA and Dolce & Gabbana. Khloe followed in her sister's footsteps by getting into the fashion industry by launching denim brand Good American alongside Emma Grede in 2016. The mom-of-two recently introduced protein popcorn company Khloud, and podcast Khloe in Wonder Land, while also serving as an executive producer on the Kardashians. Kylie Jenner may not have an EP title on the Kardashians but that hasn't stopped her from making serious money alongside her famous family, having starred on their shows from the young age of nine years old. At 18, she stepped into the business world by launching Kylie Lip Kits in 2015, and eventually sold a 51% stake to Coty of $600m in 2019. Last year, the reality star – who shares two children with rapper Travis Scott – joined Kim and Khloe in the fashion world by introducing clothing line Khy, as well as canned cocktail drink Sprinter. There's a reason that fans regularly use the phrase, 'The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder'. The momager is the mastermind behind the huge success of her family. Not only does she serve as the manager for her six children, but she also gets a percentage of their deals, has a starring role – and EP credit – in the Kardashians – all while sipping on martinis. Kendall Jenner's rise to becoming America's biggest supermodel was captured by cameras on KUWTK, meaning viewers got to go on the ride from her first ever catwalk and photoshoot as a teenager– to being named the highest paid model in the world. She has posed in designs for Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Gucci, Vera Wang, Versace and countless others over the years, and graced the cover of fashion magazines all over the world, including Vogue, LOVE, W, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar. Kendall collaborated on her sister's brands, before launching her own company, 818 Tequila, in 2021. Orlando Bloom shot to superstardom thanks to his role as Legolas in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, in 2001, and has gone on to lead the way in huge movies ever since – including the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and Gran Turismo. His most recent role came as Marlon in Amazon Prime Video hit, Deep Cover, which was released this month. He is rumored to have split from fiancée Katy Perry shortly before the nuptials, and is attending the ceremony solo as the singer is currently on tour in Australia. Tom Brady has gone down as a sporting legend after spending 23 years playing in the NFL – and is regarded as the best quarterback of all time. He won seven Super Bowl championships in his career – including six with the New England Patriots, where he played for 20 seasons before moving to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, and remained there until his retirement in 2023. The athlete is father to three children – welcoming son Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, he also shares Benjamin and Vivian with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen. Oprah has been a staple of the Forbes rich list for years, and is currently 13th on the charts of America's richest self-made women. As a talk show host, she has secured huge interviews with Michael Jackson, Meghan Markle, Tom Cruise, Barack Obama and many more. After helming her series for 25 years, she turned her brand into a huge media empire – launching her cable channel OWN and serving as the CEO and chairwoman of Harpo Productions, working on Selma, the Water Man and the Color Purple among others. Acclaimed journalist Gayle King has been in the spotlight for decades, and began her career as a news anchor in the 80s, before appearing as a special correspondent on the Oprah Winfrey Show with her best friend. She went on to land her own talk show and, in 2011, moved over to CBS to anchor CBS Mornings. Gayle may have a closer relationship to the couple than most, having traveled to space with the bride earlier this year. The former model is President Donald Trump's eldest daughter and regularly appears alongside her father for public events. During his first term, she joined the White House as a senior adviser, having previously served as an executive vice president at the Trump Organization. She married husband Jared Kushner in 2009 after two years of dating, and they share children Arabella, Joseph and Theodore together. Businessman Jared was among Trump's closest advisors during his first stint, and officially served as a senior advisor in his administration. In 2021, he formed investment firm Affinity Partners – according to Forbes, he also runs a $3 billion private equity fund. Diane von Fustenberg is one of the most fashionable women in the world, founding her eponymous fashion house in 1972 – she grew to huge fame after debuting her signature wrap dress two years later. She relaunched her company in the 90s, and her clothes have been worn by some of the biggest names in the world, including Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Whitney Houston. Like Diane' Domenico's surname is among the most known in the world of fashion – in the 80s, he partnered with Stefano Gabbana to launch Dolce & Gabbana, and the pair are still working hard today. They have dressed Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Kylie Minogue and more, and recently collaborated with Kim Kardashian and SKIMS on a popular collection. Forbes reports that both Domenico and Stefano still share ownership and both design for D&G to this day. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest names in Hollywood, having started his career as a young actor in the 90s. His filmography boasts a string of acclaimed, hit moves, including Titanic, Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamon, Shutter Island, Inception, Django Unchained and Romeo + Juliet. He earned his first Oscar nomination at 19 for his efforts in 1993 flick What's Eating Gilbert, and he went on to earn five more nods before finally taking home the coveted statue in 2016 for the Revenant. Chicago-born model Karlie was discovered in 2005 and made her debut in an editorial spread the following year – over the years, she has risen to become one of the biggest faces in the industry. She has covered fashion bibles British Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W Magazine and countless others, while also appearing in campaigns for Chanel, Nike, Jean Paul Gaultier, Victoria's Secret and Coach. She replaced Heidi Klum as host of Project Runway, while also launching her own Kode with Klossy initiative for young girls interested in coding and computer science. Harvard graduate Josha founded venture capital firm Thrive Capital in 2010, and co-created health insurance start-up Oscar Health. Forbes reports that he achieved billionaire status in 2022, and has a net worth of $3.8bn. In 2018, he married Karlie and they went on to welcome two sons together – in March, the couple announced that they have a third child on the way. Bill Gates was previously the most wealthiest man in the world, having co-founded Microsoft in 1975 – his power in the company was 'slowly handed over from 2006 onwards', so that he could focus on his philanthropy. He eventually stepped down from the board in 2020, and is said to have donated shares worth billions to the Gates Foundation. It is estimated that he has handed over $59bn to good causes over the years. Jeff and Lauren were first linked at the beginning of 2019, amid reports that they had been spending time together. Shortly after, the mogul announced his divorce from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott – who he shares four children with – officially bringing their 25-year marriage to an end. The ex-Good Day LA host also separated from her husband – Endeavour agency chairman Patrick, after welcoming two children together. She is also mom to a son with NFL star Tony. It is unclear how the lovebirds met, but reports claim that they grew close while working on several projects together. Lauren has remained by Jeff's side ever since, and has publicly supported him at his space missions in 2021. They took things to the next level two years ago, and announced their engagement after a trip to the South of France. Unpacking the romantic moment with Vogue, she recalled: 'When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit.' She also confirmed that she would be changing her name when they tie the knot, adding: 'Uh, yes, one hundred percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs Bezos.' Last January, Lauren shared a glimpse into their relationship with a sweet post on Instagram, to mark her beau's milestone 60th birthday.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded $10m wedding guest list 'revealed'
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have jetted out to Venice this week to celebrate the severely swanky wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez. The billionaire businessman, 61, and the former journalist, 55, went public with their relationship in 2019, and announced their engagement in 2023, after four years of dating. Details have remained under wraps over their nuptials but plans haven't gone down well with locals who have launched protests – hanging banners, stickers, posters and signs around the area condemning the celebrations. Kim Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner are said to be making the journey to Italy – having celebrated the bride's hen do in Paris last month – with Orlando Bloom also reportedly on the guest list. According to TMZ, Katy Perry received an invite after jetting to space with Lauren for a controversial trip, but is currently on the Australian leg of her tour, so may be sitting the event out. Although a full, finalized guest list has not been shared, the outlet reports that a string of famous faces received invites to support the happy couple on their big day. Around 200 people were personally invited, with suggesting that they were spending roughly $50,000 per person – racking up a rumored $10million bill. Following their jaunt to space, Gayle King is thought to have been sent an invitation along with her best friend, Oprah Winfrey. Kim has been a close friend of Lauren for years and will most likely be spotted around Venice alongside her mom, Kris, and the businesswoman's long-term boyfriend, Corey Gamble. It was also claimed that Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Camila Morrone, Brooks Nader and Jewel scored a summons. Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria may also be in attendance, after heading to Paris for the bride-to-be's bachelorette. TMZ reports that film producer Brian Grazer and businessman Michael Kives will be checking out the sites in Venice, with iconic fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg allegedly making the trip with her husband, Barry Diller, and son Alexander von Fürstenberg. Lauren's ex, Tony Gonzalez, has also made the guest list – which is not surprising as his wife, October Gonzalez, attended her pre-wedding bash in France. However, the publication alleges that her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell, will not be rubbing shoulders with the guests – though it is unclear whether he was invited. Jeff and Lauren were first linked at the beginning of 2019, amid reports that they had been spending time together. Shortly after, the mogul announced his divorce from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott – who he shares four children with – officially bringing their 25-year marriage to an end.

15 Ways Your Husband Unintentionally Disrespects You Every Single Day
He doesn't have to yell or insult you to make you feel small. Sometimes, the most painful disrespect shows up in quiet moments—in habits he doesn't even realize he's formed. When those behaviors become routine, they don't just chip away at your self-esteem. They shift the emotional climate of the relationship. These are the subtle, often invisible ways your husband might be disrespecting you—not because he's cruel, but because no one ever taught him better. But once you recognize them, you can stop normalizing what's actually hurting you. It's just a glance at the screen, right? Except when it happens repeatedly, it signals that your words don't deserve his full attention. That micro-disengagement adds up—and it hurts. shares that chronic distraction during conversations is a classic sign of emotional disconnection. You begin to feel like you're competing with a screen for affection. And when that screen keeps winning, you stop opening up. Intimacy can't survive when presence is optional. In casual conversations, especially around friends or family, he cuts you off or finishes your sentences. It doesn't always feel malicious, but it subtly communicates that what you have to say isn't as important. Over time, this trains you to stay quiet just to avoid being dismissed. You start censoring your voice without even realizing it. The more it happens, the less seen you feel. And eventually, you start feeling invisible even when you're right there. When his mother makes a passive-aggressive dig or his brother crosses a line and he stays silent, it's more than awkward—it's damaging. Failing to have your back sends a message that your comfort is negotiable. His loyalty becomes conditional, and you're left to defend yourself alone. That silence speaks louder than any insult. It creates emotional distance where there should be trust. And it tells you where you stand—last. It's 'just teasing,' until it's not. Whether he's joking about your driving, your spending, or your habits, it stings—especially when others laugh. These comments chip away at your dignity while letting him maintain the cover of humor. According to research published on repeated public teasing can be a form of emotional neglect and disrespect. You may laugh along to avoid awkwardness. But each joke burrows a little deeper. And you start to wonder why the punchline always seems to be you. He folds laundry or picks up the kids and expects a gold star. Meanwhile, the work you do every day goes unacknowledged. This imbalance quietly reinforces the idea that your labor is expected, but his is exceptional. The Gottman Institute points out that a lack of mutual recognition for shared responsibilities is a warning sign of emotional disconnect. It turns mutual responsibility into a performance. And you're left managing a household and his ego. Respect shouldn't feel like a favor. You go silent—not out of manipulation, but from fatigue or sadness—and he doesn't even ask why. He doesn't notice the change in your tone or the things you've stopped saying. Emotional attunement is absent. This lack of noticing feels like abandonment. You start questioning whether your feelings even matter. And eventually, you start hiding them altogether. You share a win—big or small—and he responds with a shrug, sarcasm, or a quick change of subject. It doesn't seem like much at first, but it slowly teaches you that your success makes him uncomfortable. Or worse—that it doesn't matter at all. Celebrating your joy is part of emotional intimacy. Without it, the relationship becomes emotionally one-sided. You shouldn't have to shrink to be loved. The meals, the laundry, the emotional labor—you do it all. But acknowledgment disappears once the relationship settles into routine. What was once appreciated becomes expected, then invisible. Gratitude isn't just about manners—it's about respect. Without it, everything starts to feel transactional. And the emotional cost is exhaustion and quiet resentment. He makes plans for the both of you without checking. He assumes you'll rearrange your schedule or drop your needs. This isn't love—it's entitlement. Being constantly available isn't sustainable. You become an accessory to his life instead of a partner with your own. And that power dynamic breeds emotional erosion. When you ask for space or take time for yourself, he sulks or makes passive-aggressive comments. He makes your autonomy feel like abandonment. Instead of supporting your need for self-care, he personalizes it. Over time, this manipulates you into shrinking your boundaries. You learn to perform availability to avoid guilt. And slowly, you disappear from your own life. You express frustration or sadness, and he responds with, 'You're being dramatic' or 'It's not that bad.' This may not sound abusive, but it's textbook emotional invalidation. It teaches you to mistrust your instincts. When your reality is repeatedly minimized, you start second-guessing your emotions. That erodes self-trust. And once that's gone, emotional safety follows. You light up talking about a book, a class, or a dream—and he glazes over. He's engaged when it's about him, but disconnected when it's about you. This selective attention isn't neutral—it's neglect. You start internalizing the belief that your joy is irrelevant. And you unconsciously edit yourself down to what's palatable to him. That's not intimacy—it's quiet self-erasure. He vents, unpacks, and offloads—but rarely asks how you are. You become the emotional container, while your own needs go unheard. That kind of imbalance wears you down fast. Being someone's only outlet is not a compliment—it's a burden. And when your own pain has no home, the relationship becomes one-sided. You're not his therapist, you're his partner. When friends or family disagree with you, he sides with them or stays neutral. Your perspective is never the one that matters most. That hierarchy leaves you feeling perpetually unsupported. Trust should live inside the relationship—not outside of it. When it doesn't, you feel emotionally orphaned in your own marriage. And that hurts more than any argument. When you raise a concern, he immediately brings up what you've done wrong in the past. He turns vulnerability into competition. This tit-for-tat mindset kills compassion. It's not about accountability—it's about control. And when every hurt becomes a weapon, healing has nowhere to land. True respect means hearing pain, not deflecting it.
