Can we imagine the love story of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his ladylove Lauren Sanchez without superyacht Koru playing a pivotal role? The world’s largest sailing yacht, with masts towering 230 feet high, has been a central figure in their romance, serving as the backdrop for life-changing moments, from the proposal (with a 30-carat diamond ring) to their engagement. Naturally, it seems the ideal venue to complete their love story and say “I do.”
With the Koru yacht carrying such sentimental value for the couple, it’s no surprise that speculation swirls around the megayacht being the site of their wedding. This $500 million masterpiece, crafted over four years, could gracefully sail to the most breathtaking Mediterranean locales, offering the perfect setting for a wedding destined to make global headlines.
Rumors of an Italian wedding surfaced during a holiday dinner party, where, according to the New York Post, some women in their circle were overheard discussing the much-anticipated nuptials in the restroom. If the whispers hold true, the Mediterranean summer of 2025 promises not just another glamorous season but perhaps the birth of a Mrs. Bezos.
Since its delivery in 2023, the 416-foot Oceanco behemoth has hosted countless memorable moments for the couple, from lavish parties with friends to intimate escapes indulging their hobbies. Sanchez even has a dedicated support vessel, Abeona, equipped with a helicopter to keep up with her jet-setting lifestyle.
For the world’s second-richest man, worth an estimated $233 billion, tying the knot aboard the world’s largest sailing yacht holds a poetic charm. And to officially crown Sanchez as the first lady of the three-decker yacht, complete with its striking figurehead carved in her likeness, feels like a fairy-tale ending to their high-profile romance. The vessel is currently cruising in the Caribbean and arrived at the Antiguan port after routine maintenance in France in November 2024.
As we await the Mediterranean summer of 2025, the question lingers, will it be just another enchanting summer for the couple, or the beginning of a new chapter as Mr. and Mrs. Bezos?
