Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, may lead a life so luxurious that she pilots her helicopter to a superyacht that takes her to a $500 million megayacht, but in the end, she is a girl next door and uses Pinterest to plan her upcoming destination wedding with the Amazon founder.

Lauren Sanchez is a simple girl, only that she sails for weeks at a stretch aboard the $500 million megayacht Koru during the summers, with a wardrobe brimming with designer labels like Chanel and Gucci. Even a $75 million helicopter-carrying support vessel, Abeona, trails her wherever she goes. Yet, she is also the granddaughter of a restaurant manager who once served coffee for nickel tips and remains grounded, staying true to her roots.

On the Today Show on Wednesday, she shared a glimpse of her relatability, revealing that, like any other bride, the Emmy-award-winning journalist, engaged to the world’s third-richest man, Jeff Bezos, worth $214 billion, has a Pinterest board brimming with wedding inspirations. “I have to say, I do have a Pinterest, I’m just like every other bride, so I do have a Pinterest board,” Sanchez said of her wedding planning. She added, “I’m thinking about the dress.”

Jeff Bezos’ $500 million superyacht, Koru, which is longer than a football field, and its support vessel, Abeona, cost around $5 million in monthly maintenance.

Considering that a single transatlantic journey aboard Koru can cost anywhere from $500,000 to $750,000, and that maintaining the colossal yacht costs at least $50 million annually, it’s clear that Sanchez and Bezos spare no expense on their lifestyle, taking numerous such voyages each year. Which begs the question: what could a 54-year-old style icon possibly find on Pinterest that matches the grandeur expected of her wedding?

In 2022, she revealed her plans to travel to space with her girlfriends, a trip that never materialized. Still, it could morph into the ultimate bachelorette adventure, one that only the fiancée of the Amazon co-founder could dream of. Proposing to the author of the children’s book The Fly Who Flew to Space aboard a 416-foot Oceanco megayacht, or adorning the vessel with a wooden figurehead crafted in her likeness, are the kind of gestures that turn their love story into a fairy tale.
