Bezos' Billions: Amazon Stock Selloff, Venetian Wedding Spectacle, and Social Media Buzz
Jeff Bezos BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jeff Bezos has once again dominated headlines, and not just for his fortune, but for making both financial and romantic waves this past week. In early July, Bezos sold nearly three million shares of Amazon stock, netting around 665.8 million dollars according to regulatory filings. This was not a spur-of-the-moment move but rather part of a preplanned divestment strategy that has seen him offload nearly 1.4 billion dollars in shares since the start of 2025, as explained by AInvest. Despite the eyebrow-raising figures, experts point out these trades are routine for Bezos and widely seen as a way to fund his other ventures, most notably Blue Origin, as well as his philanthropic projects. Notably, Bezos remains Amazon’s largest shareholder by a huge margin, with a stake valued at around 200 billion dollars, and continues to serve as executive chairman.
But the business news was almost overshadowed by the spectacle of his wedding to Lauren Sánchez, which became one of the most talked-about society events of the summer. The pair tied the knot in Venice in late June, and the aftermath has kept social media buzzing. According to Associated Press, paparazzi and local police jostled for position as the newlyweds emerged from their hotel for the first time as husband and wife, boarding a boat and waving to a horde of journalists. Estimates from local officials pegged the cost of the Venetian festivities between 47 and 56 million dollars, sparking a social media debate about overtourism and rising costs for local Venetians. Bookshop.org even used the moment to mock Bezos’ wedding invite design in an anti-Prime Day campaign, poking fun at the purported lack of polish in the invitation while criticizing billionaires' impact on cities like Venice. Meanwhile, Mariah Carey’s three-word reaction to questions about the wedding—'I wasn’t there'—went viral for its nonchalance, with fans praising her for sidestepping the celebrity drama.
On Instagram, Bezos himself posted introspective content reflecting on Amazon’s humble beginnings, which was well-received by fans and business watchers alike. Elsewhere on social media, posts and memes riffed on his newly married status, with users poking fun at everything from gift returns to the wedding guest list. Through it all, Bezos’ net worth continues to capture public fascination, with Reality Tea pegging it at 250 billion dollars in 2025. Ultimately, while critics debate tax loopholes and urban impacts, Bezos seems to be relishing his role as businessman, philanthropist, space explorer, and, now, headline-grabbing newlywed.
