Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are rumored to have finally solidified a wedding date, two years after the billionaire Amazon founder got down on one knee. Sources claimed that the longtime couple are planning a “big” and very luxe celebration that will be attended by hundreds of guests.

The tech mogul, 61, and the former journalist, 55, have been relishing their engagement bliss since May 2023. However, according to DailyMail.com, the lovebirds are ready to ring the wedding bells and are sending out invitations to their nuptials very shortly.

It had previously been reported that Bezos and Sanchez would wed on Dec. 28, 2024, in snowy Aspen. However, after that date came and went with no signs of a ceremony, rumors have now surfaced that they are planning to head to the altar in summer 2025.

An unnamed source close to the couple told the outlet that the wedding is still “very much on” and plans have already been “inked in.”

According to the insider, everything about the special day will be “big” and luxe, with the report noting that Sanchez has already purchased a wedding dress by A-list designer Oscar de la Renta, whose white gowns begin at $9,000 and were previously worn by Naomi Watts and George Clooney‘s wife, Amal.

“You won’t miss this one when it happens,” said the source, which comes as little surprise given Bezos’ extraordinary wealth.

When Bezos asked Sanchez to marry him, he proposed aboard his superyacht, Kora, with a sparkling diamond that is estimated to measure 20 to 30 carats and is believed to be worth $2.5 million, with reports suggesting the raven-haired beauty “blacked out” when she saw it.

The lovebirds will surely go all out for their nuptials, which many have claimed will be a destination wedding, according to the outlet.

However, given that they have a staggering property portfolio at their beck and call, it is possible that Bezos and Sanchez could opt to wed at one of their many properties.

Perhaps they will jet to the Amazon CEO’s estate in Hawaii? Or choose to tie the knot at his enormous megamansion on Miami’s Indian Creek Island, which is often referred to as “Billionaire Bunker” because of its residents’ sky-high net worths.

Whatever the destination, one thing is for certain: The couple’s nuptials are set to go down as one of the most extravagant in recent history, particularly given that they boast an A-list circle of close friends who are sure to be on-hand to help them celebrate their special day.

The tech mogul and the former journalist will have many options to choose from.

Bezos’ real estate holdings became the subject of much speculation in 2023, when he announced that he and Sanchez were planning to move their primary residence to Florida, a decision that the Amazon founder said was motivated largely by a desire to be closer to his parents.

However, in February 2024, it was revealed that Bezos enjoyed another perk as a result of his relocation: saving hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes.

According to a report by CNBC, the businessman stands to save “at least $610 million” in taxes that he would have had to pay if he were still living full time in Washington state.

Prior to that move, Bezos—whose net worth is $263 billion by the Wall Street Journal—had been largely based at his properties in the tony enclave of Medina, a suburb of Seattle, where he had been buying up homes for many years.

Bezos launched his e-commerce company in Washington state in the mid-1990s and built an enormous compound there. However, he’s since declared that Florida is his new state of choice—and he has the properties to prove it.

Bezos is one of several billionaires who own properties in the ultraexclusive Washington enclave of Medina, which is also home to the likes of Bill Gates and former Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi.

Four years after he founded Amazon, Bezos spent $10 million, along with now-ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, buying up two homes that sit on a 5-acre plot in the town of Hunts Point. In 2010, the duo reportedly spent $28 million to extensively renovate the estate, which boasts 310 feet of private shoreline and a private boathouse.

To maximize space (and privacy), Bezos also purchased an adjacent property that same year—a 24,000-square-foot mansion that was reportedly listed for $53 million. It is unclear whether the Amazon CEO paid that hefty sum or managed to snag a discount.

That home would ultimately serve as the business mogul’s primary residence for the next decade until 2023, when he announced his move to Florida. He appears to be holding on to his Seattle stake—at least for now.

The billionaire now owns three pricey places on Indian Creek Island—the third, he picked up for a reported $90 million in 2024. According to reports, he plans to raze the other two properties—which he picked up for a combined $147 million—and live in the most recent purchase while awaiting construction to be completed.

Indian Creek Island, which is known as “Billionaire Bunker” because of its residents’ extraordinary wealth, is also home to the likes of Ivanka Trump and Tom Brady. Bezos is understood to be its richest inhabitant.

The neighborhood, which has just 34 homes and 40-odd residents, is guarded by its own police force, ensuring the utmost safety for its wealthy homeowners.

Washington, DC

The owner of the storied Washington Post owns a similarly storied estate in the nation’s capital, a compound that he is said to have dropped $23 million on in 2017. The DC property includes two large, historical buildings and a chauffeur’s residence and garage, totaling nearly 27,000 square feet of interior space.

The entire lot measures more than 34,000 square feet, with landscaped gardens and lawns. It had been marketed as “perfect for a school or embassy or an exceptional private home.”

New York City, NY

The Blue Origin founder also has a huge pied-à-terre in New York City. He owns a $16 million, three-bedroom apartment, purchased in 2020. That’s in addition to $80 million worth of units in the building, including a three-story penthouse and two apartments on the level right below it. In 2019, building permits were filed to combine the units.

The lavish spending continued to the West Coast, where, in 2020, Bezos dropped a record $165 million for David Geffen‘s Los Angeles mansion, the Wall Street Journal reported. Known as the Warner Estate, the 9-acre spread was built for Jack Warner, the late former president of Warner Bros.

The parcel features “expansive terraces, sprawling gardens, several guest houses, a tennis court and its own nine-hole golf course,” according to the Journal.

Maui, HI

The Amazon founder reportedly added one more property to his cart in 2021. The billionaire and Sanchez picked up a 14-acre estate on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The cost of the off-market transaction was reported to be in the neighborhood of $78 million.

The offering is said to include a 4,500-square-foot main house, a 1,700-square-foot guesthouse, and a 700-square-foot pool. The holding encompasses seven parcels of land and a fish pond with a private, white-sand beach.

West Texas ranch

The lovebirds also hold the keys to an expansive ranch in West Texas, just north of Van Horn.

Bezos purchased the property in 2004 because it reminded him of his childhood on his grandfather’s land in Cotulla, TX.

It is unknown how much he splashed out for the 400,000-acre property.

The ranch is home to the 10,000-Year-Clock, which is designed to keep time for 10,000 years and helped Sanchez think about her future with Bezos, according to Vogue.

His fiancee also revealed to the outlet that Bezos has a space-themed bar dubbed the Kármán Line Bar located on the West Texas ranch.
