Jeff Bezos’ New Yacht Is Finally Ready to Set Sail

Amazon’s founder has been spotted on Koru, a massive schooner with a design that evokes the golden age of sailing in the early 20th century.

By Kevin Koenig

Just in time for the high season of yachting in the Mediterranean, when multimillion-dollar megayachts descend on ports like Monte Carlo and St. Tropez, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been photographed with his partner Lauren Sánchez on his new boat, Koru, off the coast of Spain.

Mr. Bezos’ vessel is a sailing yacht, a departure from the diesel-powered, floating palaces popular with other billionaires. But it is still massive. At 417 feet, Koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, according to Boat International , and it cost an estimated $500 million to build, Bloomberg reported . (Parsifal III, the boat featured on Bravo’s reality series “Below Deck Sailing Yacht,” is 177 feet long — less than half the length of Koru — and cost $18 million , according to the website SuperYachtFan.)

A spokesperson for Mr. Bezos did not comment for this article; neither did Oceanco, Koru’s builder. Here is what to know about the boat.

For traditionalists, Koru is refreshing. At a time when yacht design skews outrageous — see the lizardlike, 262-foot Artefact or the otherworldly 463-foot Yas — Koru stands out as a schooner, a sailing vessel with two or more masts. Photos reveal a large sailboat with three masts, an on-deck pool and a voluptuous mermaid on the bow, that bears a resemblance to Ms. Sánchez. But otherwise, the sleek, classic lines suggest the patrician age of yachting in the early 20th century, said Robert B. MacKay, author of “The Golden Age of Newport Yachting: Between the Wars.”

“With the clipper bow and the dark hull and the masts,” Mr. MacKay said, referring to Koru’s concave, pointy forward section, “it reminds me of a boat built in 1930 for J.P. Morgan Jr., Corsair IV. It is almost like a reincarnation. It’s certainly at odds with the stuff the oligarchs are building — those look like bloated Clorox bottles.”

Compared with the world’s very largest motor yachts — built for sheer size and the accompanying bragging rights — Koru could almost be considered quaint. Azzam, one of the world’s largest motor yachts, is nearly 200 feet longer.

The Experience

Koru will be propelled primarily by the wind. “Sailboats are usually greener than most powerboats,” said Don Anderson, a former captain of M5 , the world’s largest single-masted sailboat, at 256 feet. “I’d like to think that Koru will be one of the most ecological yachts out there, with its sails and also with the technology that will be aboard.”

“When you’re on a sailboat, you’re more in touch with the wind and the waves than on a powerboat,” he continued. “You’re more susceptible to the elements, too. But you can leave California, and once you get past the Catalinas you can basically surf downwind all the way to Hawaii. All you need to do is run with the waves.”

Mr. Bezos has been a guest on similar boats, according to Bloomberg: In 2019, he was spotted on Eos , a 305-foot sailing yacht owned by Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg.

Bill Tripp, a Connecticut-based naval architect, said the appeal of this type of boat is clear: “When you are on a powerboat, you ask, ‘Are we there yet?’ and on a sailboat, you’re enjoying the ride and the ocean so much that you don’t ask that question.”

Koru will be trailed by Abeona, a 246-foot support vessel. Superyachts often have support vessels following along behind them. These “shadows,” as they are colloquially known, are for the “toys” — the ATVs, supercars, seaplanes, motorcycles, smaller boats, scuba gear, personal submarines and even helicopters that pleasure boaters might bring on a trip. According to its builder, this model of boat can carry these gadgets along with dozens of crew members. (Ms. Sanchez flies helicopters, and the couple was recently photographed taking a helicopter to board Abeona and then Koru.)

Abeona, a motor yacht, will have enough range to follow Koru from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean — a common course for yachts — on a single tank of gas.

The Kerfuffle

Koru set off a controversy last year — before it was even completed — in a face-off with the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The boat was built at Oceanco’s facility in Alblasserdam, the Netherlands, and needed to pass the historic Koningshaven Bridge, known as “De Hef,” in Rotterdam, to undergo testing in the North Sea.

When the city announced it would dismantle the bridge to allow the boat and its mainmast — an estimated 230 feet tall — to pass through unscathed, locals were angry. They planned a protest to throw eggs at the yacht as it cruised by. In the end, the bridge was not taken apart, and the yacht was towed to a different location to have its masts attached.

Koru is Maori for “coil” or “loop” and refers to the unfurling of a fern frond. The koru design is common in traditional Maori art, where it symbolizes new life, growth and peace. Mr. Bezos included a photo of a koru frond in an Instagram post on Jan. 1, 2022.

Brad Stone, who was the first to report on Koru, in his 2021 book “Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire,” said the name was “consistent with where we see him today.”

“He is no longer this single-minded tech guy,” Mr. Stone said. “He’s in media and Hollywood and has a new relationship.”

The best pictures of Koru

In 2022, the 125.8-metre sailing yacht Koru made history when she hit the water at Oceanco ’s Alblasserdam facilities. Now successfully delivered, she is the flagship of the Oceanco fleet and the largest Dutch-built yacht in the world. 

BOAT rounds up the best pictures of the three-masted sailing yacht owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos...

Koru unable to dock in Florida

Koru arrived at Port Everglades, Florida in November 2023 following a months-long Mediterranean cruise that included stopovers in Dubrovnik, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and Calabria (according to BOATPro ). The sailing yacht was too large to anchor in the nearby marina, which has a maximum capacity of 121.9 metres. She was photographed instead docking next to a 297-metre cruise ship named Rhapsody of the Seas .

Koru's helicopter landing

Last summer, Koru was spotted in the French Riveria alongside her 75-metre support vessel Abeona . Delivered by Damen Yachting two months before the mothership, Abeona is equipped with a helipad and hangar for a D14 value helicopter– which is clearly being put to good use. Accommodation is for up to 45 people onboard Bezos' support vessel, including crew, guests and other specialist staff.

Koru in Portofino

Koru and Abeona also travelled to Portofino in the summer of 2023, with both Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez sighted enjoying lunch and taking photographs while on board. 

Koru's figurehead

Throughout construction, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the details on board Koru ; but once handed over, all of her traditional features could be admired up close. As well as the intricate gold paintwork and scarlet bootstripe, the yacht also features an elaborate figurehead made of polished wood. The woman is wearing a necklace with a symbol in the pendant, which some have speculated could be the Māori symbol meaning "koru".

Koru in front of Palma Cathedral

After delivery, the schooner spent some time enjoying the waters of Mallorca. The Balearic hotspot is a magnet for superyachts during the Mediterranean season, but Koru had the quiet anchorage largely to herself after leaving the Oceanco shipyard. Her classic lines could be appreciated in all of their glory against the backdrop of Palma Cathedral. 

Koru delivered to Mallorca

In April 2023. Koru was delivered and undertook her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Gibraltar. She then headed onwards to Palma, giving the world a first glimpse of her cascading aft decks, mighty masts and elaborate aft deck pool arrangement. She was flying solo in Mallorca, but was later joined by support vessel Abeona .

Koru in Gibraltar

Following her successful sea trials in Rotterdam, Koru embarked on journey to Palma, Mallorca that involved an overnight anchorage in Gibraltar. The sailing yacht was sighted passing through the Strait of Gibraltar a second time on her cross-continental journey from the Mediterranean to the USA in November 2023.

Koru on sea trials

Koru was spotted departing from Rotterdam in the early morning light of February 13 to begin sea trials. The 125.8-metre Oceanco set sail across the North Sea to put her performance to the test after hitting the water for the first time in August 2022. The traditional three-masted schooner yacht has a midnight blue hull, traditional canoe stern and the unique addition of a chair at the very tip of the bowsprit. Her name represents the idea of life’s perpetual movement and is a Māori word closely related to that of an unfurling leaf.

Koru with her masts stepped

The yacht was seen for the first time in her final form on the dock in the Port of Rotterdam. Her trio of masts was stepped here to avoid having to dismantle any bridges to allow the Oceanco giant yacht to pass under. The maximum height of the bridge is 70 metres; the masts on Koru are thought to measure between 65 and 85 metres. The first images of Koru indicate the yacht will have plenty of features for her owner to enjoy, including an aft deck pool and a large, uncluttered sundeck.

Koru launched

The 125.8-metre yacht was moved from Oceanco’s primary facilities at the crack of dawn to enter the final stages of construction. The hull was transported via Dordrecht and Spijkenisse (Oude Maas), and her masts were transported separately via the slightly shorter Rotterdam Centre (Nieuwe Maas).

Koru moves through the Dutch canals

Before she hit the water, the hull of Koru was loaded onto a transport vessel and she made the journey through the Dutch canals for further construction work. The yacht was captured against the backdrop of the quaint Dutch countryside, revealing her classic-looking lines and long rows of windows.

Koru from a bird's eye view

As she was wheeled out of the shed into the light of day, yacht-spotters were able to get their first proper aerial shot of the yacht, without her masts. 

Koru rolls out of the shed

When Oceanco completed the work on the hull, the yacht was rolled out of the shed to reveal a crisp navy hull and white superstructure. Koru ’s exterior design immediately drew a comparison to Lürssen’s 93-metre sailing yacht Eos , which was designed by US-based Langan Design . This was the world’s first sighting of the already iconic superyacht.

Jeff Bezos il big di Amazon arriva a Positano con i suoi yacht

Più informazioni su

Jeff Bezos a Capri con due yacht e un elicottero: il lusso del magnate di Amazon sbarca a Positano Il miliardario fondatore di Amazon, Jeff Bezos, ha fatto il suo arrivo trionfale a Positano,  per trascorrere un periodo di vacanza che non passa di certo inosservato. Con un imponente seguito marittimo, Bezos ha portato con sé due maestosi yacht e un elicottero, lasciando a bocca aperta gli abitanti dell’isola e i turisti presenti.

Il pezzo forte della flotta è indubbiamente il superyacht Koru, una meraviglia marittima lunga ben 127 metri e dotata di tre alberi maestri. Il lussuoso veliero è stato ancorato di fronte ai celebri Faraglioni, aggiungendo un tocco di splendore alla pittoresca baia di Marina Piccola, per poi trasferirsi successivamente a Marina Grande. La stima del suo costo è a dir poco sbalorditiva, con una cifra che sembra superare i 500 milioni di dollari.

Ma le meraviglie marine di Bezos non finiscono qui. Poco distante dal sontuoso Koru si trova l’Abeona, uno yacht di supporto lungo 75 metri, autentico garage navigante, che si presta ad accogliere ogni bisogno del magnate delle vendite online. Ma non è tutto: l’Abeona dispone addirittura di una piazzola per l’elicottero, il quale, come se non ci fosse alcun limite, decolla e atterra a raffica, regalando un ulteriore tocco di esclusività all’intero scenario.

Koru può vantarsi del titolo di nave a vela privata più grande al mondo, un vero e proprio colosso dei mari che non passa certo inosservato ovunque vada. Non da meno, l’Abeona può fregiarsi del titolo di yacht tender di supporto più grande mai realizzato, sottolineando l’impressionante flotta marina di Jeff Bezos.

A Positano c’è Flying Fox, lo yacht più costoso al mondo: è di Jeff Bezos, mister Amazon

Sono tantissimi gli yacht – tutti enormi, tutti sfavillanti, tutti lussuosi – che si sono avvicendati nelle acque antistanti le coste campane in questa torrida estate del 2021 che sta per volgere al termine. E allora ecco che sul finale, a mo' di ultima suggestione pirotecnica, sempre la più rumorosa e luminosa, arriva il re degli yacht, il più lussuoso e il più costoso: stiamo parlando di Flying Fox , imbarcazione superlusso di proprietà – e come poteva essere altrimenti – dell'uomo più ricco del mondo, mister Jeff Bezos, fondatore di Amazon , avvistata in queste ore al largo di Positano , nella splendida cornice della Costiera Amalfitana.

Flying Fox è costato 500 milioni di dollari

Lungo 136 metri, il Flying Fox è stato costruito nel 2019 nei famosi cantieri Lurssen , a Brema, in Germania. Il design esterno e degli interni, invece, è stato affidato a due prestigiosi studi di progettazione: Espen Øeino di Montecarlo e Mark Berryman di Lymington, Regno Unito. A ragione, il Flying Fox è considerato lo yacht più costoso al mondo: mister Amazon ha dovuto sborsare mezzo miliardo di dollari, 500 milioni, per averlo: a bordo dello yacht si trovano 11 mini-appartamenti, che possono ospitare fino a 25 persone, mentre i membri dell'equipaggio sono 54. Inoltre, piscina, Spa da 400 metri quadrati, tre cucine, quattro moto d'acqua e un tender che, da solo, costa il 10% dell'intera imbarcazione.

Jeff Bezos, fondatore di Amazon

Jeff Bezos e la sua creazione, Amazon, non hanno di certo bisogno di presentazioni. Nato negli Stati Uniti nel 1964, il patrimonio di Bezos, aggiornato da Forbes al 19 luglio del 2021, è di 205 miliardi di dollari, il che lo rende l'uomo più ricco al mondo. Bezos è anche fondatore e amministratore delegato di Blue Origin , società attiva nei voli nello spazio: proprio grazie alla sua azienda, lo scorso 20 luglio, il miliardario americano ha effettuato il suo primo viaggio nello spazio . Inoltre, possiede anche il Washington Post , uno dei più autorevoli quotidiani statunitensi.

Oceanco’s jacht Y721 van Jeff Bezos laat zich zien

De transport van oceanco's y721, die naar verluidt bestemd is voor jeff bezos, is op beeld vastgelegd.

25 oktober 2021

Scroll down

Begin mei kwam het naar buiten dat de Nederlandse werf Oceanco uit Alblasserdam aan een nieuw project zou werken. Geruchten gingen door het rondte dat Amazon-oprichter Jeff Bezos de opdrachtgever zou zijn. De op één na rijkste man ter wereld heeft op het moment van schrijven een vermogen van $ 193 miljard, dus een jacht van honderden miljoentjes is voor hem geen enkel probleem. Deze week ging het schip op transport en dat trok uiteraard de aandacht van fotografen.

Jeff Bezos klopt aan bij Nederlandse scheepswerf Oceanco

Het gevaarte van 127 meter lang krijgt het modelnummer Y721 en is zowel het langste jacht dat ooit in Nederland is gebouwd en als het grootste superjacht ooit gebouwd bij Oceanco. Binnenkort zal het jacht worden overgebracht worden naar een andere faciliteit voor afbouw werkzaamheden.

Y721 mag dan wel het grootste Nederlandse zeiljacht ooit zijn, bij aflevering, gepland voor 2022, zal het schip wereldwijd gezien qua grootte genoegen moeten nemen met plek. Sailing Yacht A van de Russische miljardair Andrey Melnichenko, gebouwd door het Duitse Norbiskrug, blijft met een lengte van 142.81 meter de onbetwiste koning van de zeven zeeën. Oceanco’s 106,7 meter lange Black Pearl , waar we laatst met veel lof over spraken, concurreert goed mee met plaats drie en is het op twee na grootste zeiljacht gebouwd door Oceanco.

Nadat Y721 gedeeltelijk werd opgebouwd in Zwijnenburg, werd het schip verplaats naar de door Oceanco nieuw aangeschafte werf in Zwijndrecht. Veel details zijn nog ongewis, maar zeker is dat Y721 van drie masten, drie dekken en een boegspriet voorzien zal worden.

“Een van de mooiste zeiljachten die er bestaat”

In het boek  Amazon Unbound van Brad Stone, waarvan een uittreksel werd gepubliceerd door Bloomberg, wordt het superjacht beschreven als “een van de mooiste zeiljachten die er bestaat”, met “verschillende dekken” en “drie enorme masten”. In het boek wordt ook gemeld dat ook een begeleidende ondersteuningsboot in aanbouw is, met een helikopterplatform. Wel zo leuk voor zijn vriendin Lauren Sanchez, die naast journalist ook helikopterpiloot is.

Ondanks dat diverse bronnen claimen dat het inderdaad Jeff Bezos is geweest die de aanvraag heeft ingediend, biedt Oceanco nog altijd geen verheldering. “Oceanco waardeert de privacy en vertrouwelijkheid van al onze klanten en potentiële klanten en geeft daarom geen commentaar op onze betrokkenheid of niet-betrokkenheid bij specifieke projecten,” aldus een woordvoerder van de werf uit.

Boat International heeft diverse beelden in handen gekregen.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Coast Through Italian Riviera On $500 Million Superyacht Following Engagement The pair was spotted off the coast of Portofino, Italy.

By Emily Rella Jun 14, 2023

Jeff Bezos' $500 million superyacht has been making waves (and not just in the ocean) since the public learned of its controversial riff with the Dutch shipyard where it was being built and its over-the-top amenities and features.

Now in sailing shape, photos of Bezos cruising through the Italian Riviera with his fiancé Lauren Sanchez hit the internet on Wednesday, showing the billionaire dotingly playing the role of "Instagram Fiancé" as he snapped photos of Sanchez to get the perfect shot.

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos on the Koru sailing yacht on June 12, 2023, in Portofino, Italy (Getty Images)

Bezos named the vessel Koru, which is the name of a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new "unfurling silver fern frond." In Māori culture, the symbol symbolizes new life, growth, strength, and peace.

A figure of a woman's body is also emblazoned on the front of the boat, which eagle-eyed Bezos fans have noticed bares an uncanny resemblance to Sanchez. Bezos has not confirmed nor denied the speculation.

The boat is roughly 417 feet long and reportedly the largest sailing yacht in the world.

In the sculpture, the woman figure is wearing a necklace with the Koru symbol.

Bezos' net worth as of Wednesday afternoon was an estimated $151 billion.

Jeff Bezos Is Having One Heck of a Summer

There are no friends quite like yacht friends, those friends who will, when invited, join you on your yacht, or at least near your yacht. Jeff Bezos, a man with a $500 million yacht , has them. They are Katy Perry, her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, and Usher, and they’re all in Croatia, and importantly off the coast of Croatia on a boat ( paparazzi photos from the hang only show the group on a smaller boat and not on his actual yacht).

How did all of these people meet? Is there a Raya Friends in beta for billionaires and big-time, A1 celebrities? Or is it a classic Instagram DM situation, the way Hollywood’s finest have connected in the past decade, wherein they see you from across the internet and just ask you to join them on their yacht? Whatever the case, Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are here to make friends, and they seem to have done an excellent job. 

The couple have seemingly been at sea since the delivery of their yacht earlier this summer. Bezos recently proposed to his girlfriend of several years, and they had an engagement party off the coast of Positano on the Amalfi Coast earlier this month. Many yacht friends were reportedly there too, like Kris Jenner, Wendi Murdoch, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield. They got two of the Spider-Mans! Bezos and Sanchez seem to be having about as good a summer as Leo himself , or even Ivanka Trump .

Why wait for the Cannes Film Festival or the Venice Film Festival, the Oscars or the Golden Globes, or gala season to party amongst fellow celebrities? Why wait to party when you’ve got the deck space and the crew, and the party can always come to you?

Jeff Bezos' Nederlandse superzeiljacht laat zich zien

De romp van het superzeiljacht Y721 is vanochtend onthuld in de werf van Oceanco in Zwijndrecht. Met een lengte van 127 meter is Y721 officieel het grootste jacht dat op Nederlandse bodem gebouwd is.

In mei brak het nieuws dat de Nederlandse werf Oceanco in het diepste geheim aan een nieuw project werkte. Volgens Brad Stone, de schrijver van het boek Amazon Unbound, zou de opdracht door niemand minder dan Amazon-oprichter Jeff Bezos ingediend zijn. De rijkste man ter wereld verdient immers een van de meest indrukwekkende zeiljachten ter wereld. Met een lengte van maar liefst 127 meter lijkt de Y721 aan de eisen van de tech magnaat te voldoen.

Drie jaar, drie masten

De klassiek gelijnde schoener werd al in 2018 verkocht en maakte in die tijd zelfs een verhuizing mee. Na een gedeeltelijke opbouw in Zwijnenburg werd het schip in 2019 verplaats naar de door Oceanco nieuw aangeschafte werf in Zwijndrecht. Veel details zijn nog ongewis, maar zeker is dat Y721 van drie masten en een boegspriet voorzien zal worden. Y721 is de derde en grootste in een serie superzeiljachten van Oceanco, na de Aquilo (86 meter) uit 2016 en de Black Pearl (106.7 meter) uit 2018.

Nummer twee

Y721 mag dan wel het grootste Nederlandse zeiljacht ooit zijn, maar bij aflevering zal het schip wereldwijd op nummer twee komen te staan. De Duitse gigant Sailing Yacht A van Norbiskrug blijft met een lengte van 142.81 meter de onbetwiste koning. Black Pearl vinden we dan terug op de derde plek. Mocht het schip inderdaad van Mr. Bezos zijn, dan is het opvallend dat de extreem competitieve Amerikaan niet het allergrootste schip ter wereld heeft laten bouwen.

Serie giganten

De onthulling van Y721 komt slechts twee weken na de lancering van de 117 meter lange Y719 , voorlopig Oceanco's grootste superjacht. Na de lancering van Y721 staan de 111 meter lange Y722 en de 109 meter lange Y720 op het programma bij de werf. Y721 zal binnenkort overgebracht worden naar een andere faciliteit voor afbouw werkzaamheden.

Jeff Bezos s’offre un super yacht de 127m de long à 430 millions d'euros qui va obliger la ville de Rotterdam à démonter un pont historique pour le laisser passer

La rumeur enflait depuis le printemps dernier, c’est désormais confirmé : Jeff Bezos s’est fait construire un yacht à voile de 127 mètres de long. Il s’agirait de l’un des plus grands et des plus luxueux au monde, selon Bloomberg . Le trois-mâts à un demi-milliard de dollars a quitté son chantier naval d’Alblasserdam, aux Pays-Bas , et sera livré à son futur propriétaire une fois les derniers réglages terminés.

Forbes a révélé quelques détails au sujet de ce projet qui devait rester secret. On sait que le deuxième homme le plus riche du monde a passé commande auprès du constructeur néerlandais Oceanco, qui avait déjà conçu le Black Pearl, un superyacht de 106 mètres de long nommé d’après le célèbre bateau pirate.

Fait intéressant : Jeff Bezos ne compte pas acheter un seul navire, mais toute une flotte, ce qui laisse planer le mystère sur l'usage qu'il en fera. Si l’on pensait au départ que c'était pour son plaisir personnel, il semblerait qu'il ait finalement un projet plus grand en tête. En plus du vaisseau-mère, il y aura donc des navires plus petits qui serviront à transporter du matériel et à effectuer certains trajets.

L'ex-PDG d’Amazon est loin d’être le seul milliardaire à investir dans des superyachts. Conçu par Philippe Starck pour l’oligarque russe Andrey Melnichenko, le Sailing Yacht A détient à ce jour le record du plus grand voilier au monde grâce à sa taille impressionnante de 142 mètres de long.

Un projet critiqué

Les Pays-Bas abritant de nombreux chantiers navals, il n’est pas rare de voir d’énormes navires se faufiler dans les canaux étroits du pays. Et pourtant, le projet de Jeff Bezos essuie de vives critiques à Rotterdam. En fait, son yacht est tellement haut qu’il ne passe pas sous le pont de Koningshavenbrug, le seul chemin qu’il puisse emprunter pour regagner la mer. Par conséquent, la municipalité va devoir démonter provisoirement ce monument auquel les habitants sont très attachés pour satisfaire les caprices du milliardaire. D’après la télévision publique néerlandaise BNNVARA , certains habitants de Rotterdam ont déjà prévu de jeter des œufs sur le yacht de Jeff Bezos lors de son passage dans le port l'été prochain.

Inscrit au patrimoine national néerlandais depuis 2000, cet ancien pont levant avait été achevé en 1927, avant d'être bombardé en 1940 pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Au début des années 1990, il avait été question de le détruire, mais les nombreuses protestations avaient fait tomber le projet à l’eau.

That’s amoré!

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez held a lavish engagement party with an exclusive group of friends aboard the billionaire’s mega-yacht Wednesday, Page Six has learned.

A source exclusively tells us that the nautical fête, which took place in Positano, Italy, was “intimate” with only a “small crowd” in attendance.

VIP guests included Bill Gates, who appeared in photos from the party looking jovial, along with his girlfriend, Paula Hurd.

The pair was photographed smiling and having a nice chat.

Rupert Murdoch’s ex-wife, American entrepreneur Wendi Murdoch, and film and television producer Fabiola Beracasa Beckman were also spotted at the event.

We’re also told Endeavor power agent Ari Emanuel, his wife, Sarah Staudinger, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, the Queen of Jordan, Rania Al Abdullah, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble also celebrated Bezos and Sánchez’s impending nuptials.

An unidentified guest, who was not the bride, appeared to commit a faux pas by wearing white to the gathering.

It is unclear what Sánchez chose to wear as she and Bezos seemed to have strategically escaped the paparazzi’s lens.

Last week, however, the couple put on quite a show aboard the Amazon CEO’s $500 million boat, “Koru,” while sailing in Capri, Italy.

Bezos, 59, was snapped on July 27 climbing on top of his fiancée, 53, on an outdoor couch and sharing a passionate kiss.

The lovebirds have been noticeably affectionate with one another and in a celebratory mood ever since the business mogul popped the question.

Page Six exclusively reported in May that Bezos had proposed to Sánchez with a 20-carat ring after dating the former broadcaster for five years.

The “private” proposal reportedly took place with just the two of them present somewhere in Spain before they headed out to the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival.

Shortly after, Sánchez was seen flaunting her new bling — estimated to cost $2.5 million — during a dinner date with her beau at La Petite Maison in Cannes, France.

Since then, the former entertainment reporter has proudly showcased her sparkler while on other trips with Bezos.

This is the second time Sánchez will walk down the aisle. She was previously married to Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell, with whom she shares a son and daughter. She also shares another son with NFL player Tony Gonzalez.

Bezos, for his part,  was previously married  to MacKenzie Scott for 26 years and they share four kids.
