Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are not having a $600 million wedding in Aspen this weekend, despite reports. Bezos, angered by the false claims, took to Twitter to refute the story. Elon Musk responded with support. The couple, who have not confirmed their wedding date, have remained silent on their plans.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are not holding a $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado, this weekend, contrary to circulating rumors. Last week, reports suggested that the billionaire was planning an extravagant ceremony with his fiancée, costing a staggering $600 million. However, Bezos has strongly refuted these claims. In a rare move, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his frustration and clarify the situation, underscoring how upset he was about the false reports.

“Furthermore, this whole thing is completely false — none of this is happening. The old adage “don’t believe everything you read” is even more true today than it ever has been. Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible. Will be interesting to see if all the outlets that “covered” and re-reported on this issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen,” Bezos wrote.

Elon Musk’s ‘comforting’ reply

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is widely known to share a frosty relationship with Bezos, replied to Bezos’ angry post. “That said, I hope you do hold an epic wedding. It’s nice to know that epic events are happening somewhere in the world, even if one is not present. A world where there are amazing events somewhere is better than a world where they are happening nowhere,” wrote Musk in a post seemingly aimed at comforting Bezos.

No wedding dates confirmed

The Daily Mail was the first to report the $600 million wedding plan quoting a “well-placed source.” The report was then picked up by the New York Post. Billionaire Bill Ackman then quote-tweeted a now-deleted post from New York Post writing, “This is not credible. Unless you are buying each of your guests a house, you can’t spend this much money.” Ackman’s tweet was what Jeff Bezos quoted in his reply.
Incidentally, Bezos, 60, and his fiance, 54, have so far remained mum on their wedding plans and have not yet publicly confirmed their wedding date.
