Bezo's really thinks he has something there in Hotdog Lips.

Preaching climate justice while arriving in a half-a-billion-dollar superyacht? That’s the kind of cinematic irony Lauren Sánchez served at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, pulling off a Leonardo DiCaprio moment of her own. The Amazon founder’s fiancée made her Cannes debut while being honored at the prestigious Global Gift Foundation charity gala for her environmental efforts through the Bezos Earth Fund and her work in social justice with This Is About Humanity, an organization that reunites families separated at the US-Mexico border.
Interestingly, the soon-to-be Mrs. Bezos was joined by tech tycoon Jeff Bezos and their permanent third wheel, the mighty megayacht, Koru. The 417-foot schooner is the world’s largest sailing yacht, with triple masts towering at 230 feet (and gleaming teak decks made of conflict wood from Myanmar).
Sure, that helps reduce the carbon footprint by harnessing ocean energy, but it doesn’t exactly erase the yacht’s environmental impact. Moreover, the Oceanco mammoth is trailed by a $75 million support vessel, Abeona. This 247-footer by Damen Yachting carries an arsenal of toys, tenders, and the helicopter Sánchez uses to fuel her high-flying passions.
It wouldn’t be wrong to state that together, the vessels burn through hundreds of gallons of diesel per hour. According to researchers from Indiana University and Oxfam, Bezos’s sailing yacht Koru emits approximately 7,154 metric tons of CO₂ annually, the equivalent of about 1,500 average cars. Recently, the $500 million floating mansion, outfitted with multiple pools, a gym, a cinema room, jacuzzis, and a 750,000-liter tank that costs $1.5 million to fill, cruised through the most picturesque spots on the French Riviera, from Cannes to Monaco and then on to the Gulf of Genoa, according to Marine Traffic.
It should be noted that the luxury yacht of the world’s second-richest man, worth $216 billion, consumes nearly 2,000 liters of fuel per hour, according to Libération. In addition to this, Sánchez recently completed an 11-minute trip to space with her group of girlfriends, an admittedly inspiring feat for women around the world, showing that nothing is out of reach.
While the message of empowerment was clearly received, the trip generated as much CO₂ in eleven minutes as an average person would emit over eight years.

The Bezos Earth Fund, established in 2020, was backed by a $10 billion pledge to address climate and
Rich people giving other rich people prizes for being so awesomely rich.
I have no problem with people being rich. But they need to stop telling me how to live my life. They have no clue.
“Dazzling”??? Yuck!!!
Was her lover/baby daddy also on board as he has been?
Or was she stuck with Bezos?
OK
“ Global Gift Foundation”
I thought she got the golden globes award.
I enjoy them being rich. I would rather them to act like Hugh Hefner.
Not George Soros.
Nothing says “climate justice” like rocket ships, mega yachts, helicopters and private jets half way around the world.
I wonder how much CO2 the space launch generated. I suspect it makes the yacht seem like a piker.
Oh, my. Let's get a meme going for the mega yacht trailer. Repaint the outside with the U-Haul logo.
No kidding. “Rode hard, put away wet” was coined for women like her.
I’d accept it. What the hell?
That’s one premium patch of fur, folks.
Bezo's really thinks he has something there in Hotdog Lips.
I’m not sure if we weren’t better before all these tax-exempt non-profit institutions run by hypocritical rich people.
I’m with you. They’re rich, who cares? Start trying to order me to do things, tell me I should do things, then we have a problem. They are people like me and have zero authority over me.
I’ll bet the boobs are fake too
Yikes! Don’t click on the link.
Bezos is marrying the Jack Nicholson-era Joker.
I don’t find her attractive in the least.
Agreed. I’m not into surgical enhancements......and she looks to have had many.
IMO the female form is much more attractive in the natural state.
Bigger.... ain’t always better.
