what do you get when you mix one of the
world’s richest men a helicopter pilot
international espionage and a dickpick
oh just the messiest billionaire love
scandal of the decade jeff Bezos and
Lauren Sanchez just wrapped up the
tackiest wedding of the century in
Venice but you may not remember that
their love story has actually been tacky
from the jump jeff Bezos wrecked two
marriages accused Saudi Arabia of
hacking his phone and somehow still
walked away with a phone party wedding
on a mega yacht buckle up because this
is pettier juicier and way more unhinged
than you remember before we get into it
thank you so much for 20K subscribers
i feel like Beyonce thank you so much
for being here if you haven’t subscribed
yet make sure you do we do five videos a
week on everything going on in the world
and we’re often mean to the billionaires
it’s really fun join in on us join in
with other 20,000 people that are
already here jeff Bezos met his first
wife Mackenzie Scott back in 1992 when
they were both working at a hedge fund
called Deh Shaw in New York things moved
fast and they got married just 3 months
after they started dating when you know
you’re not then in 1994 they both quit
their jobs packed up and started Amazon
out of a garage in Washington total
startup cliche but it worked behind
every great man is an even better woman
you know Amazon could not have started
without the sacrifices McKenzie made
right at the beginning the pair went on
to have four children together and from
the outside they seemed like an amazing
couple but in January of 2019 Jeff and
McKenzie announced they were divorcing
after 25 years of marriage the message
was straightforward and heartfelt saying
“We want to make people aware of a
development in our lives as our family
and close friends know after a long
period of loving exploration and trial
separation we have decided to divorce
and continue our shared lives as friends
they continued to share that they loved
their life together and would do it all
again but the divorce wouldn’t be as
straightforward as they had hoped
because what wasn’t mentioned in that
tweet was that just 2 days before the
National Enquirer tabloid had reached
out to Jeff to comment on a story it was
ready to run about his new girlfriend
Lauren Sanchez just hours after the
divorce announcement The Inquirer
reported that Jeff has been dating
Lauren the wife of WME talent agent
Patrick Whitell yeah drama
the Inquirer also published text
messages that Bezos had sent to Lauren
as far back as April 2018 i love you
alive girl i will show you with my body
and my lips and my eyes very soon
yaku there are differing reports on when
Jeff and Lauren truly met for the first
time but the general consensus is that
they were first introduced in 2016 by
Lauren’s husband at the time Patrick
Whitell and by the way Patrick is not
just some nobody he was the CEO of
Hollywood talent agency WME and his
client list is crazy it’s like an
Oscars’ afterparty ben Affleck Christian
Bale Matt Damon Michelle Williams Idris
Ela Jake Gyllenhaal Hugh Jackman John
Krosinski Jude Law Ryan Reynolds and
Denzel Washington basically if you’ve
ever like swooned in a movie theater he
probably represents the reason why he
did step down from that company after it
was purchased early this year and now he
runs Win Sports Group an NFL focused
investment platform and he co-leads IMG
he and Lauren got married in 2005 and
had two kids together patrick and Jeff
were pals they were friends bros even so
of course like any normal person he
introduced him to his wife but this very
normal interaction would prove to be a
mistake trusting your friend Jeff who’s
in the middle of a midlife crisis with
your wife is kind of like trusting a
raccoon with your lunch like it it
technically could be fine but it’s very
ill advised surely but slowly suspicion
started to grow something was going on
was Jeff really having an affair with
his friend’s wife in 2016 Jeff hired
Lauren’s helicopter company Black Ops
Aviation to film for Amazon at the time
it didn’t raise too many eyebrows but it
turned out to be the start of something
much bigger according to journalist Brad
Stone the affair didn’t come to light
right away there was some sneaking going
on bezos had always been private about
his marriage to McKenzie but over time
people at Amazon noticed a shift he
became distracted harder to reach and
oddly fixated on helicopters something
he had always disliked that’s when execs
started to connect the dots according to
a book excerpt in the New York Post
Bezos eventually admitted to his senior
team “Just to set the record straight I
did have a relationship with this
woman.” He said McKenzie knew all the
kids were fine and the media was just
blowing it all up but it in his words
very distracting inside Amazon the
reaction wasn’t great according to Stone
many employees were surprised and
disappointed that their famously
disciplined boss had slipped up so yeah
if you’re paying attention Jeff’s friend
Patrick was like “Hey here’s my wife
she’s so nice.” And Jeff was like “Wow.”
He started sleeping with her flying
around in helicopters with her all
whilst wearing his wedding ring such a
cool dude i bet your kids really respect
you bro although Jeff denies it was an
affair from his end claiming he and
Mackenzie were already separated many
people dispute that by the way but for
Lauren well it’s a lot harder for her to
defend herself when she and her husband
weren’t separated at all then came the
headline grabbing 2019 divorce from Jeff
and McKenzie one of the most expensive
divorces to ever happen at first the
split seemed amicable both parties put
out messages about mutual respect and
moving forward but that calm didn’t last
long within hours the National Inquirer
dropped their bombshell and they went
all in they called it their biggest
investigation ever complete with 11
pages of private jet sightings limo
rides and beachfront love nests honestly
it was hard out it was somebody’s
magnumopus it was basically True
Detective of True Detective had been
about like horny billionaires and
absolutely no murders the release of
Otex and the whole tabloid frenzy that
was going on made the whole friendly
divorce narrative a lot harder to sell
and only months later in 2019 Lauren and
her husband confirmed they had divorced
you would think the drama would end
there you would think like you’ve just
been publicly exposed for cheating on
your wife with your friend’s wife how
could it possibly get worse well it did
enter Laurens’s brother Michael Sanchez
so if you were wondering how they got
all those texts and dickpicks and stuff
well apparently it was from Lauren’s
brother michael would later claim he was
defamed by AMI the publisher of the
National Inquirer when they named him as
the source behind the bombshell story
and he took them to court over it
according to Michael’s lawsuit Lauren
had come clean to her then husband
Patrick about that time telling him
about the affair and that the inquirer
had reached out for comment michael who
was acting as Lauren’s unofficial
manager and adviser admitted he gave
some info to the tabloid but claimed he
wasn’t the only one in fact he pointed
the finger right back at Patrick
honestly what a modern love triangle
right you’ve got your ex you got your
brother and the National Inquirer i find
it quite interesting that Jeff and
Lauren claimed there was no affair but
she only told her husband after she had
already been caught by the National
Inquirer like okay girl none of us were
born yesterday in a statement to TMZ
Lauren said “Michael is my older brother
he secretly provided my most personal
information to the National Inquirer a
deep and unforgivable betrayal my family
is hurting over this new baseless and
untrue lawsuit and we truly hope my
brother finds peace.” At the time of all
the tabloid drama kathuffle Jeff seemed
a bit confused at the idea that somebody
might just not like him or think his
affair was freaking weird and yuck and
he blamed the entire debacle on Saudi
Arabia right saudi Arabia didn’t make
you cheat on your wife it was a mess of
family betrayal international intrigue
and horny selfies but in the end things
have worked out for the world’s most
tacky and out of touch couple their ugly
wedding seemed to just go off mostly
without a hitch just some you know pesky
protesters and $50 million no
interference from the Saudi government
though so probably a win for Jeff the
pair have encouraged each other to
pretend to go to space and seem to fake
very well that none of their children
have any issues with them which I just
do not believe no matter what they tell
me let’s not pretend this is some great
love story it was a car crash there was
international fallout family drama
dickpicks and enough PR spin to power
one of Jeff’s sad little rocket ships
but sure congrats to the happy couple
may your next public scandal be slightly
less humiliating if you like this video
check out the full deep dive I did into
Lauren Sanchez in general i looked at
some of her previous relationships and
I’m not saying anything but it does
explain a couple of things bye
