The story in a number: The jet set head to Venice

Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding in Venice is drawing global attention — and local backlash. The opulent affair has sparked protests in Venice, with residents protesting about Amazon’s environmental impact, growing inequality, and long-brewing anger that Venice’s government prioritizes tourism over local needs. Earlier in the week, the betrothed had to change their location over threats from environmental protesters to fill the canals around the event with inflatable crocodiles. It has since been moved to a more secure, and secret, location.
