Charlize Theron mocks Jeff Bezos’ lavish Venice wedding, while Mia Farrow praises ex-wife MacKenzie Scott’s $19.3 billion in charitable giving.
Over the weekend, Amazon titan Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos exchanged vows in a dazzling three-day celebration in Venice, Italy, on the picturesque island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The star-studded affair, complete with a lavish welcome party and a black-tie ceremony, drew a constellation of celebrities, including Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kim Kardashian. But while the couple basked in matrimonial bliss, not everyone in Hollywood was raising a glass to the newlyweds.
Charlize Theron, hosting her fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, took a playful swipe at the extravagant nuptials. Speaking to a crowd at Universal Studios, she quipped, "I think we might be the only people who didn’t get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that’s OK because they suck, and we’re cool." Her jab, delivered with a wink, underscored her focus on weightier issues like immigration policy, which she addressed at the event.
Meanwhile, Mia Farrow chose a different approach, turning the spotlight on Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. On the day of the wedding, Farrow shared a glowing tribute on Instagram, praising Scott’s staggering $19.3 billion in donations to over 1,600 charities by mid-December 2024. The post, liked by over 20,000 users, including stars like Olivia Munn and Rosanna Arquette, hailed Scott as a "force of humanity and good."
Bezos and Scott, married in 1993 after meeting as coworkers, parted ways in 2019 after 25 years and four children. Their amicable split, famously without a prenup, left Scott with a 4% stake in Amazon—worth $36 billion at the time. In a joint statement, they expressed gratitude for their shared past and optimism for their future as co-parents and friends. Scott’s philanthropy has since redefined her legacy, while Bezos’ Venetian wedding marks a new chapter with Sánchez.
The contrasting reactions from Theron and Farrow highlight a deeper narrative: a tale of opulence versus impact, where Hollywood’s lens sharpens on both celebration and substance.

Bezos’ Venice bash had more stars than the Milky Way, but Theron’s quip and Farrow’s post remind us: some shine by giving, others by… yachting. Guess who’s winning the karma race?
