Jeff Bezos Hosts Billionaire Wedding Amid Venice Disruptions

Jeff Bezos is set to marry journalist Lauren Sanchez in a lavish wedding celebration on the island of San Giorgio in Venice, with festivities running from June 26-28. The event has drawn significant attention, including criticism over its environmental impact, as it is expected to involve nearly 100 private jets and a guest list of billionaires and celebrities, sparking accusations of hypocrisy from climate change advocates. In the days leading up to the wedding, fans and tourists in Venice were confused by a man named Cagdas Halicilar, a professional doppelgänger who closely resembles Bezos and has capitalized on this likeness for media appearances and public engagements. Footage of Halicilar being followed through Venice's streets went viral on social media, highlighting the mix-up between the billionaire and his lookalike. The wedding preparations have also caused logistical disruptions in Venice, including street closures, boat rerouting, and heightened security measures across the city.
