Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former journalist Lauren Sanchez are having an extravagant multi-day wedding in Venice this weekend that’s already attracted the media, celebrity guests—and more than a few protestors. The event is the culmination of a months long production by wedding planners and, very likely, by teams of lawyers who have combed through the couple’s complex finances to create an ironclad prenuptial agreement.

core/paragraph

Both Bezos and Sanchez have been married and divorced previously,&nbsp;notes Marilyn Chinitz, matrimonial attorney to several billionaires and celebrities like Tom Cruise and Michael Douglas. And Bezos famously did not have a prenup during that first marriage; MacKenzie Scott, his ex-wife and an author and philanthropist, received Amazon shares worth tens of billions in their divorce. Sanchez, too, is coming into the relationship with significant wealth, though on a different scale (she and ex-husband Patrick Whitesell reportedly had a prenup that dictated the division of their assets when they divorced in 2019).

Representatives for Bezos and Sanchez did not immediately respond to a request for comment about whether the couple had a prenup, but&nbsp;Chinitz, who does not represent either party, says&nbsp;the pair likely had teams of lawyers and other professionals—estate lawyers, cross-border tax lawyers, business lawyers, forensic accountants, wealth advisers, public relations reps—working on the agreements for months to a year or longer.
