Bezos' Yacht Inspected on New Year's Eve

Jeff Bezos' $500 million yacht, Koru, was subject to a three-hour 'routine' customs inspection near St. Barts on New Year's Eve while his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, was aboard with friends, including her ex-boyfriend Tony Gonzalez. Despite the surprise inspection, which involved several uniformed officers searching the vessel, Sánchez appeared unfazed, enjoying the sun in a Versace bikini and hat. Bezos was not present during the inspection, which was described as routine by sources, although the purpose of the search remains undisclosed. The yacht inspection follows speculation around a rumored $600 million New Year's Eve wedding between Bezos and Sánchez, which Bezos denied on social media. Sánchez had hinted at wedding plans in a Vogue interview, noting they hadn't finalized details yet. The inspection was captured in photos and generated media buzz, though it seemed to have little impact on the relaxed atmosphere aboard the yacht.
