Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish $50 million Venice wedding was seemingly mocked by Charlize Theron on the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project Block Party, which was held on Saturday (June 28, 2025). For the unversed, the actress founded the charity organization in 2007, hoping to make a difference for the youth in South Africa.

Charlize Theron was seemingly not invited to the billionaire's wedding, which took place on San Giorgio Maggiore Island, Venice, Italy, on June 27, 2025.

The actress jokingly stated in her speech that the attendees at the CTAOP Block Party were the only people not invited to the wedding, seemingly mocking the large number of celebrities invited by Jeff Bezos. Theron then said the celebrities "suck," and they were the "cool" ones.

"I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that's OK because they suck and we're cool," Theron stated.

The celebration started with a party on Thursday (June 26, 2025), in a closed courtyard adjacent to the Madonna dell'Orto church.

According to People Magazine's report, Sanchez wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana dress at the private ceremony. The dress drew inspiration from Sophia Loren's wedding dress in the 1958 movie Houseboat.

Ellie Goulding and Andrea Bocelli's son, Matteo Bocelli, performed on the day. While it's unclear which song Goulding sang, the media outlet reported that Bocelli covered "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley.

In an interview with CNN in 2022, Bezos complimented Lauren Sanchez, calling her the "most generous, most big-hearted person." He said that Sanchez is "generous" with every person she meets.

"Lauren is the most generous, most big-hearted person that you would ever meet. She is an inspiration in that way at every level. She is generous with somebody she just meets, she's generous with every person and she's generous in the large too," Jeff Bezos stated.
