À propos de cet audio
Barely two months after his highly publicized wedding in Venice to Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos has been back in the headlines thanks to a blend of business intrigue, personal tragedy, and unmistakably extravagant travel. The Amazon founder, whose fortune now towers at around 241 billion dollars according to Benzinga, has spent recent weeks in a swirl of international appearances and personal recalibration. Most recently, multiple entertainment outlets and Mexico News Daily reported that Jeff and Lauren were spotted on the cobblestone streets of Mexico City’s bohemian Coyoacán district, marking their first public outing since the loss of Jeff’s mother, Jackie, to a neurodegenerative disorder on August 14th. The duo, described as keeping a low key yet striking look, visited the iconic Frida Kahlo Museum and were seen embracing quieter family moments far from the glitz.
This latest trip comes on the heels of their epic, star-studded wedding spectacle in Venice at the end of June, one that reportedly brought out A-listers from Oprah and Kim Kardashian to Bill Gates and Queen Rania, and was followed by a lavish Italian sendoff and a honeymoon of dancing on the beaches and club floors of Ibiza, captured and drooled over on Lauren’s social feeds. According to People Magazine, their Ibiza escapades were marked by moonlit parties and playful Instagram videos, while the global wedding buzz even saw protestors in Venice objecting to the ostentatious display of billionaire wealth on public land.
But not everything in Bezos’s orbit is pure celebration. The business press has turned up the heat over his stewardship of The Washington Post, with former senior fact-checker Glenn Kessler telling Fox News Digital that Bezos has become an “absentee owner” seemingly more entranced with his space ventures than the troubled newspaper, which reportedly lost 77 million dollars last year. Kessler’s blistering critique—that Bezos ought to commit to saving the paper or sell it—sparked a broader debate on social media about the responsibilities of billionaire media owners, prompting a brief but viral flurry of commentary on X and Instagram. Meanwhile, at a recent New York Times DealBook Summit, Bezos made headlines with his assertion that he declined any salary from Amazon for years, positioning himself in Silicon Valley’s culture of symbolic pay and emphasizing the trillions in wealth Amazon has generated for others.
While there are always whispers about potential new investments and shifting allegiances—particularly given his appearance at President Trump’s second inauguration earlier this summer—there are no verified reports this week of major new acquisitions or business launches. As it stands, Jeff Bezos remains the world’s most closely watched billionaire, where every appearance—whether at a Frida Kahlo museum or on a Venetian dancefloor—seems to double as both headline and Rorschach test for the excesses and aspirations of a new gilded age.
