For many in Venice, Jeff Bezos's is the wedding of the year. A golden wedding not to be forgotten, as on few other occasions. And despite the numbers and the volume of business it generates, criticism is not lacking. Because, as it turns out, not everyone seems to like the glitz and the wedding between billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez. The date is at the end of the month for an event with very confidential details.
The choice of location
.One of the locations is the Scuola Grande della Misericordia. Also among the hypotheses are the Cini Foundation on the Island of San Giorgio and the Arsenal, a very controllable and secure location to defend exclusivity. An expenditure of USD 2 million is hypothesised for the rental of the locations, to which the expenses for moorings should be added. The total expenditure for the event is assumed to be 15 million euros. About the exact locations there is still mystery.Among the other wedding figures, as reported by CNN also the arrival of Bezos' $500 million superyacht Koru, and the other luxury yachts that should be docked in the city's ports.
250 guests and 30 water taxis booked
.The rest of the numbers, circulating on the net and bouncing between specialised sites and agencies, speak of 30 booked taxis and 250 guests at the reception. For the time being, there would be no traffic restrictions, neither on water nor on foot. For location, guest accommodations and logistics, the expenditure is assumed to be around 5 million dollars.
Administrators defending the event
.And while the protesters have announced mobilisation, public administrators have intervened in defence of the event. From governor Luca Zaia who, as reported by CNN, said: 'I want Jeff Bezos to be welcomed with open arms in Venice. Protesting against those who bring visibility and wealth to our territory is, in my opinion, a disgrace' to mayor Luigi Brugnaro who protested against the protesters.
From the wedding favours to the dress
The merry-go-round of rumours then ranges from the cost of wedding favours, from $200,000 to $500,000, continuing with the cost of the dresses that the bride will have to change during the three-day celebration, which could cost around $2 million. No less important is the entertainment, which could be worth a few million dollars. And then the wedding planning and the catering, which should travel worth over 3 million.
