Our Lozza is well put together
Jeff Bezos is supposedly getting married to his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, in Aspen. I don’t care really, but that’s about the most exciting thing that’s happening this week. There is an article in the Daily Mail that has Jeff denying that this is taking place of course, complete with many pictures of where and when it is/was/might be (not) going to happen.
Jeff is only the second richest man in the world, something that seems doubtful to me. If I were the richest, or second richest man in the world I wouldn’t want anyone to know it. I suspect there might be richer men still, who may not want advertise it. They’ll let the Bezos and Musks carry that weight and laugh all the way to the bank privately.
Just an ordinary, every day couple
What’s with Jeff and Lauren anyway? She seems very keen to show off, as Jeff seems equally enamored with the idea of a busty woman hanging off his arm almost everywhere they appear in public. The Mail story has at least one busty picture of Sanchez, and if you do an internet image search she’s 99% boobs out in most of them. It’s fine, I like it, but it seems a little weird. Bezos always has a goofy/sheepish look on his face as if to say “look what I got here, a real hot chick”.
This wedding, if it is to take place, is rumored to be costing $600 million dollars. It’s a completely absurd amount and probably off by a zero. 6 mil would be excessive. 600 mil is just journalistic fantasy and hype. You may as well say 6 billion. It’s ridiculous. What wedding could cost 600 million? It would be hard to spend all that money in one day, unless you were getting married in India and paying everyone who lives there to attend.
Jeff looks like a dag. A very rich dag.
This Daily Mail article is packed full of nonsense, but I’m kind of stuck on it. It goes from one extreme to the other. There’s nothing there, so they just devolve into talking about the size of the airport eventually. Janie Lemons, an Aspen events planner whose weddings often cost more than $1 million says ‘They just voted to increase the size of the airport, but until that happens, a lot of the people who have the mega jets, a 737 or larger, can’t fly into Aspen. So the uber-wealthy of the world have to slum it from Eagle Airport or Grand Junction, about two hours away.’
Do you like water sports? Suits you sir!
At least they have correctly used the word “Uber”, and for that I am grateful. I hope Jeff and Lauren have a nice life, they seem to be having one anyway. One of the rumored wedding venues is said to be a famous sushi restaurant called Matsuhisa in Aspen. I looked at the menu. I could afford to eat there, so I doubt that’s gonna be the place.
Elsewhere in this story, “Top planners in the area all said that actor Kevin Costner’s Dunbar Ranch is a favorite location for high-net-worth couples to hold wedding receptions, and can be booked out for the week at around $1.4 million.” After food, catering, entertainment etc etc That’s still at least 500 million left to spend out of $600 million. I think that’s about the current Mega Millions jackpot this week. Actually, I just checked. It’s 944 million, which is almost a billion. I simply must get a ticket. I can be uber-wealthy too.
