In mirrored heart-shaped shades and a gaudy $1000 silk shirt so tight it might have been tattooed on the 58-year-old’s torso, the Amazon founder looked more like US rapper Pitbull than the one-time monobrowed tech nerd who achieved global domination in a pair of high-waisted beige chinos.
But it was the stunning brunette wrapped around him on the 27-metre boat, Tender To – which costs no less than $55,000 a week to charter – who completed the new look. In a backless, cutaway metallic 1970s jumpsuit that left little to the imagination, Lauren Sánchez disco-danced into 2022.
As well she might. After all, if Forbes magazine were to publish a Most Powerful Partners issue, this 52-year-old media personality would be at the top of the list.
Beneath Bezos’ New Year selfie – and the caption celebrating “personal growth, renewal, rebirth” – his girlfriend of three years (according to official timelines at least) commented: “I love you, baby. For every reason and no reason.”
When Bezos and Sánchez first came out as a couple at Wimbledon in July 2019, cynics speculated that there might be 177 billion reasons why the striking journalist might have fallen for the tech mogul and owner of space tourism outfit Blue Origin – and a spate of predictable headlines ensued.
