Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are looking forward to getting married this week in Italy. However, if sources are to be believed, the couple already got married in the U.S. Bezos and Sanchez have reportedly signed a “multi-million dollar” prenup. The move comes as the billionaire fears losing a significant amount of his fortune if his marriage to the former journalist does not work out. As per Fortune, the Amazon founder is reportedly worth $223.7 billion, so he is taking every measure to protect his assets.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are married and have a prenup in place, ‘source’ claims
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are gearing up to say “I do” in Venice, Italy, but sources have claimed that the couple has already read their vows and signed a prenup in the U.S. “Often a marriage in a foreign country is not valid in the USA, or creates other issues, so yes it is likely they are already married,” said one renowned Florida-based attorney to Page Six.
However, this time, the Amazon founder has legally protected his second marriage as his first divorce with MacKenzie Scott in 2019 did not end well. Since Bezos had no premarital agreement during his first marriage, his ex-wife reportedly walked away with more than $38 billion in Amazon shares. Their divorce was reportedly one of the costliest separations in history.
Thus, this time, Bezos is playing it safe by signing a multi-million-dollar prenup with Sanchez. As of now, the intimate details of Bezos and Sanchez’s prenup are confidential. However, according to Fortune, common components like the sharing of assets, providing support for Sanchez, and death provisions might reportedly be part of their prenup.
As per sources, the couple “can get married anywhere as their prenup would generally be drafted to include its enforceability everywhere.” But, if the couple decides to divorce, it “can only happen in the state of the primary residence.” In their case, “they would have to divorce in Florida” as the couple is currently residing there. They can also get divorced in New York “if they left Florida and moved to New York as a primary residence.”
