Where else but the city of merchants, one whose fortune was founded on global trade to host the celebrity wedding of the digital age’s king of commerce?
Dateline, Venice. Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner of online trading platform Amazon, tying the knot with journalist-cum-TV personality Lauren Sanchez in a spectacle that’s drawn both paparazzi and protesters. What does this spectacle out of a Fellini movie say about the age we live in?
Organizers tempering the extravagance with pledges of giving to good causes. For the world’s third richest man, who now owns the Washington Post newspaper, what does money buy? We’ll ask about the pushback, and the look for a city that hardly needs more publicity, what with its 150-thousand visitors per day. Is the issue Jeff Bezos’ obscene wealth or the advertisement it brings to a bucket list destination that’s already heaving under the weight of record amounts of tourism? Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip. |
