VIPs are descending on Venice for the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez—though President Donald Trump won’t be among them.
The Amazon billionaire invited Trump to attend the ceremony this weekend in Italy as part of a charm offensive aimed at winning lucrative government contracts following the president’s sensational falling out with Bezos’ business rival Elon Musk. Trump isn’t expected to make an appearance, however, due to scheduling conflicts, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have already arrived in Venice for the nuptials of Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55. The couple is expected to welcome about 250 guests to their wedding—estimated to cost up to $56 million, according to Reuters—despite protests from locals who have angrily demonstrated against the event.
