Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Wedding Protests Joined by Greenpeace: ‘If You Can Rent Venice for Your Wedding, You Can Pay More Tax’


Greenpeace has joined the protests against Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s upcoming Venice wedding by unfurling a huge banner in St. Mark's Square.

Greenpeace and the U.K.-based collective Everyone Hates Elon have joined protests in Venice attempting to disrupt, or even prevent, the planned wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Emmy-winning journalist, pilot and entrepreneur Lauren Sánchez this week. Bezos has also pledged to make sizable charity donations, including €1 million to Corila — an academic consortium dedicated to studying Venice’s lagoon ecosystem — according to Corriere della Sera and Italy’s ANSA news agency. Roughly 200 guests have been reportedly invited to the Bezos-Sánchez wedding, including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and Ivanka Trump.
