Jeff Bezos wedding: Ivanka Trump among ultra-wealthy A-Listers arriving for $48m celebration

Ivanka Trump was among the super wealthy guests arriving for Jeff Bezos’ $48million wedding to Lauren Sanchez. Threats of protests from activists aren’t stopping the A-list stars from attending the billionaire’s nuptials in Venice, Italy, this week. Protesters with Greenpeace and the UK-based activist group Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) are braced to express their fury at the extravagant affair, which will see 200 guests enjoy a pre-wedding gala dinner tonight and then several other festivities across three days. Jeff, 61, already had to change plans as Venice residents have threatened to blockade the city鈥檚 historic canals with inflatable crocodiles . They are so unhappy the billionaire “will shutting down Venice” that Mr Bezos has scrambled to move the ceremony itself from the 16th-century Scuola Grande della Misericordia to Arsenale, a vast, fortress-like complex of shipyards and warehouses once used to build Venetian warships. Amid the chaos, Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner were seen touching down in the city to celebrate the lavish event. Ivanka rocked a green dress and canvas sunhat as she arrived by boat following a day of sightseeing. The couple’s three children, including Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James, joined them on the holiday. Among the early arrivals was Jeff’s adoptive father Miguel Bezos. Other members of the Trump family are said to be among the 200 guests as well as Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry , Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian . Meanwhile, Jeff is determined for his wedding to go ahead without any further snags as he has been dating Miss S谩nchez, a news reporter, for some seven years. It is likely no challenges will arise once the 200 guests arrive to the tiny island of San Giovanni Evangelista for Thursday’s dinner. Just 11 people live on the island and its only dwelling is a modest five-bedroom home, previously the guesthouse to a convent which was part of a long-destroyed monastery complex. However, on mainland Venice, where most of the A-list guest will be staying, EHE and Greenpeace protesters unfurled a giant 20x20m message close to the spot where the Amazon founder is to marry his partner. The banner, in the city’s famous St Mark’s Square, reads: “IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX.” The groups complain Mr Bezos, a father of four, is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1% true tax rate. A spokesperson from EHE explained: “As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married. Just weeks ago, he spent millions on an 11-minute space trip. If there was ever a sign billionaires like Bezos should pay wealth taxes, it’s this. “While ordinary people struggle to pay the bills, there are more billionaires than ever before. These two things are obviously connected – they’re getting richer at our expense. It’s not rocket science: tax billionaires like Jeff Bezos now.” Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
