Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez take inspiration from Prince William and Princess Kate’s wedding

As the groom of the “wedding of the century,” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is no stranger to backlash.

Unsurprisingly, his nuptials to former journalist Lauren Sánchez have already caused a ton of controversy.

With a reported cost of $50M and three days of celebrations, Bezos’ wedding extravaganza has been slammed on social media for flaunting enormous wealth.

As well as the environmental impact of flying out countless A-list celebrities – all whilst taking over the city of Venice, Italy.

Those haven’t been the only reasons that eyebrows have been raised…

Some observers have already pointed out the similarities between Sánchez’s opulent Dolce & Gabbana lace dress and Kate Middleton’s wedding dress.

In 2011, Kate wore a very similar dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, featuring a high-neck, layered lace and a flowing veil.

Now, another similarity has been uncovered.

DiCaprio is the founder of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which reportedly supports 200 projects focusing on biodiversity, ocean and forest conservation as well as other climate change resolutions.

Nevertheless, the actor reportedly flew privately to attend Bezos’ wedding.

His jet was amongst over 90 private jets that were reported to have flown into Venice for the event.

Jets are known to be more polluting per passenger than commercial flights, negatively impacting the environment.
