Jeff Bezos is firmly back in the public spotlight with the imminent and lavish wedding to Lauren Sánchez in Venice from June 24th to 26th, 2025. According to Universal Weather, preparations for the multi-day event are dominating the city’s social calendar, with Bezos’ 127-meter sailing yacht Koru taking center stage on the Venice lagoon. The guest list reads like a billionaire’s hall of fame, with celebrities, politicians, and moguls jetting in despite Venice’s already packed summer. Business aviation insiders warn of a logistical headache for the city’s infrastructure, but the event is expected to be one of the social highlights of the year.

Meanwhile, in Miami’s ultra-exclusive Indian Creek Island, nicknamed Billionaire Bunker, a plot of land next to Bezos’ three properties recently sold for a jaw-dropping $110 million. Despite rumors, World Red Eye reports Bezos wasn’t the buyer—he already owns about $237 million worth of real estate on the island, sharing the neighborhood with the likes of Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump. This adds to his growing reputation as a tastemaker in elite enclaves.

On the business front, Blue Origin—Bezos’ rocket company—just hit turbulence. As reported by The Street and Ars Technica, the long-anticipated New Glenn rocket launch has been postponed until at least August 15th, 2025, a disappointment given previous targets for multiple launches this year. Blue Origin CEO David Limp posted on X that producing eight second-stage rockets was still on track, but insiders say Bezos is frustrated the original ambitious launch cadence won’t be met. Space race watchers note this could mean the August flight is Blue Origin’s only significant launch in 2025—a blow to Bezos’ quest to keep pace with SpaceX.

Elsewhere, Bezos is still contending with drama at The Washington Post. Diane Ravitch’s blog recently covered his efforts to revamp the struggling paper, with a controversial push for content focusing on personal liberties and free markets. This has led to the exit of several star journalists unwilling to align with his editorial vision. According to reports, he’s now courting outside writers and even using AI to edit submissions, hoping to spark a turnaround for the storied publication.

And for those following the billionaire rankings, Forbes Australia notes that despite an 11 percent jump in Amazon’s stock, Bezos was recently bumped down to third richest in the world by Mark Zuckerberg, with his fortune estimated at $220 billion. His name also popped up in a Washington Post ad—a Florida Toyota dealer publicly asked Bezos if he can sell cars on Amazon, an oddball headline that shows even local businesses want a piece of Bezos’ e-commerce empire.

In the world of ideas, the London School of Economics is set to host a major festival session next week dissecting the “Bezos model” for tech-driven wealth and inequality, a clear sign his influence on business and society remains a hot topic. Through it all, podcasts like Jeff Bezos Living Biography on Spreaker continue to churn out updates for die-hard fans and critics alike, proof that the Bezos story is far from finished and still impossible to ignore.
