how do you spend over half a billion on a wedding? did he buy the entire city of aspen and surrounding mountains?
I mean, if I were a wedding planner/caterer/anyone on staff and Jeff Bezos asked me to do his wedding, I'd upcharge the hell out of him.
i would take the deposit and use it to hire freelancers to do some kind of Die Hard 1 / Die Hard 3 / Under Siege sort of situation. or just get everybody to ingest/inhale ricin lol. just kidding, i would never do that because it's illegal and i am a good boy.
someone just bill him for $450,000 for some vague reason and say it's for the wedding. he might pay it
i've heard of people doing that kind of thing, like invoicing some giant multinational company for something after they've figured out the address for accounts payable or whatever and getting away with it. but i've also heard of people getting caught in an audit and hit with fraud charges because it went through the US mail, which above a certain amount is a felony. but, respect the grift lol.
It's probably not the actual cost. Sensationalism from NY Post.
yeah he probably only spent like $450 million, which whomst among us.
Yeah we've all spent $450+ Million on a wedding at some point or another, of course
¥450 million
450 million iraqi dinar
Was gonna say I know wedding can be expensive but damn
How in the fuck do you even spend $600M on a wedding? It's a truly mind-boggling amount.
Death to all billionaires.
Humans are feckless creatures for allowing it to get to this point. Like seriously what the actual fuck, how do we let these people exist
Unrelated to anything in the article, but I know commercially available drones are programmed to shut down when entering restricted airspace. I wonder if they're programmed to shut down close to any sort of civilian stuff like a large crowd, or a place someone would want to keep private?
Something that just popped in my head for no reason is that most decent quadcopters broadcast the gps coordinates of the person operating them.
that explains how the cops came straight to my house when i was flying my drone over the richy-rich neighbor houses
Gotta go diy.
if we're going for lore accuracy they'd be the Mangione brothers, meaning their name would be Mangione Mangione
i thought they married years ago
i can't imagine how much of that $600 million will go toward security
Idk but I bet it's more than a hitman would charge and still wouldn't be able to stop a hitman. I very much doubt we'll see headlines about a hitman getting arrested or killed at this wedding. Maybe a lone wolf conservative with bad aim, but not an actual contract killer.
What are contract killers even up to then?
it's probably creating tragedies in the Middle East and Africa as mercenaries for the US military.
Yup, Crocus hall terrorists were just mercs
In
19722024, a crack commando unit wassent to prisongiven commendations by a military court for a crime theydidn't commitdefinitely committed. These men promptlyescaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles undergroundwent to a party thrown in their honor at Los Angeles City Hall. Today, still wanted by the government so they can commit more warcrimes they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire The A-Team.
that's a hitman level for sure
She likes him for his body
My first thought was something about the guy from Saved By The Bell, then I realized that wasn’t it.
How much paperwork is she signing before hand? I have to imagine a ton of lawyers, and paperwork involved here. Not that I care beyond the superficial, but involving what they have to involve to get hitched doesn’t sound fun. Like, let’s spend the rest of our lives together fun, or even let’s make a mistake in Vegas right now kind of fun. But whatever, I’m terrible at making relationships work so wtf do I even know.
Put them on this ride then shoot a stinger missile at it.

I really need to read some George Jackson. This is from Soledad Brother.

if your nuptials didn't take place astride matching albino white elephants, is your love even sanctified?
