Kim Kardashian landed in the wedding celebrations of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez on Thursday (June 26) as protesters blew too much wealth and environmental damage amid anti-billionaire protests that had flooded the city.

The trio is part of a star-studded guest list for the multi-day celebration, which held a private cocktail party at the Oman Hotel on Wednesday evening (June 25). Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Gayle King, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Diane von Furstenberg and Orlando Bloom were also found arriving by boat.
When celebrities entered their entrance, protest groups across Venice conducted coordinated demonstrations under “the space without Bezos.”
Militants from housing alliances, student groups and environmental groups such as Greenpeace criticized billionaires’ weddings as symbols of unrestricted wealth and historical urban commercialization.
Condemning the over-rich tax breaks, the impact of mass tourism spreads across landmarks, including Rialto Bridge and St. Mark Square. One protest featured Bezos’ dummy floating in a canal on Amazon box.
Others promised to use boats and inflatable animals to block the waterway. The rebound prompted organizers to transfer the main ceremony from the original location to the safer venue Arsenale. Protesters called this change a victory.
The wedding not only examines its luxury, but it is for timing. Venice has been struggling for a long time, and critics say the incident highlights how the city can satisfy the wealthy at the expense of its residents.
Celebrations of Bezos and Sánchez are expected to last until Sunday (June 29), with rumored performances by Elton John and Lady Gaga.
