Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez invited a host of celebrities from the fields of cinema, economics and showbiz to attend their three-day wedding celebrations in Venice.
Reuters news agency has gathered facts and figures about the "Wedding of the Century," as it has been described, many of which have remained secret, including details about the guest list and the exact cost of the events.
The cost of the wedding of the century is 40-48 million dollars
The wedding and its events are expected to cost 40-48 million euros ($46.5-55.6 million), Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto regional government, which includes Venice, told reporters today.
Bezos intends to make significant charitable donations, including 1 million euros to Corila, an academic consortium studying the ecosystem of the Venice lagoon, as the Corriere della Sera newspaper and the ANSA news agency wrote on Sunday.
The location of the wedding ceremony is a secret.
The date and location of the wedding ceremony remain a secret, but the main reception is expected to take place on Saturday at the Arsenale, a historic site in the eastern part of the city.
This highly protected area, surrounded by imposing walls, was used for shipbuilding by the Republic of Venice when it was at its peak in the 15th century.
90 private jets, 30 water taxis
The first private jets arrived at Venice airport today and Zaia said around 90 of them will land in Venice and nearby airports such as Treviso and Verona in the coming days.
The US President's daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who were vacationing in Tuscany, arrived in Venice today.
Organizers have also booked at least 30 water taxis from various companies in Venice for the glamorous wedding guests.
Five hotels for 250 guests
Rooms in five of the city's most luxurious hotels have all been sold to ordinary tourists, as they are expected to accommodate approximately 200-250 guests.
Among them are Cipriani on Giudecca Island and Aman on the Grand Canal, where famous American actor George Clooney stayed for his 2014 wedding to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin.
