Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are getting ready for their upcoming wedding. This wedding has been promised as one of the year’s most expensive weddings. It is a three-day event being organised at Venice, Italy, from June 24 to 26.
The guest list has an estimate of 200 A-list names. These include Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, and Oprah Winfrey. The budget for the wedding is a whipping of $10 million dollars. With details like this, this event has the potential to be nothing short of extraordinary.
But one mustn’t forget that we live in an age of the internet. In today’s times, if you have a cake, everyone wants a piece of it. And if that piece can make one go viral, that’s an added bonus. That is what seems to be going with Brazilian psychic Athos Salome, who has been dubbed as Living Nostradamus.
Salomé has made a name for himself by predicting worldwide disasters and turmoil. He now claims that Bezos and Sanchez will face marital difficulties soon after tying the knot. His “predictions” could best be described as vague and ambiguous. He has predicted “instability” in the marriage.

Salome has not provided any specifics, but the timing of his announcement has now put a dramatic twist on the couple’s otherwise spectacular story.
There are many people who do not trust such prophecies especially when nothing is being specific. There are several natural disasters every year and the geopolitical tensions have put all countries on high alert. Amidst this, predicting a conflict or any natural calamity is very easy. And if out of 10, one prophecy comes true, it’s more about a matter of chance than forecasting.
However, Athos Salome, the Living Nostradamus, has amassed quite a fan following on the internet. He has made claims of anticipated global crisis, technological revolutions involving artificial intelligence and even possible contact with extraterrestrial life.

However, critics have called his predictions as a wife susceptible to interpretation and only retroactively linked to actual events. The Bezos-Sanchez wedding has already stirred the world and has garnered all the attention it could. Local Venetians and preservationists are worried about the environmental stress on the city. Venice is already suffering because of over-tourism and locals are not keen to see the vulgar display of money on their faces.
There are protests on the canal where people are questioning the disruption of local life and cultural insensitivity of organizing such a large scale event in the historic city.
Venice is known for its fragile infrastructure and delicate ecosystem. It has recently tightened laws around mass tourism. In this climate, even the most romantic wedding can become a political misstep.
Nonetheless, the couple seemed determined to block out the criticism. According to reports, over 80% of wedding items are purchased locally. It was a conscious effort to highlight Venetian artists and traditional workmanship. This decision is being interpreted as showing appreciation for the local artist and an attempt to give back to the city that is letting them host one of the most important days of their lives.

Jeff Bezos is the creator of Amazon, and one of the world’s wealthiest men, and Lauren Sánchez is a former news anchor and aviation entrepreneur. They have been a high-profile couple ever since they went public with their relationship. Their wedding marks the beginning of a new chapter in a romance. A chapter that will attract a lot of eyeballs and media from all over the world.
As the date approaches, it would be interesting to see if Athos Salomé’s prediction comes true. It would also be interesting to see what Salome claims as his forecast of “instability” after the wedding.
