Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez cruise the Mediterranean with A-list celebs and visit Pope Francis

Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez are making headlines this summer as they sail the Mediterranean on Bezos’ $485 million yacht, Koru. 

The 60-year-old Amazon founder and the 54-year-old media personality have been enjoying a star-studded voyage, with stops in Greece, Italy, and Spain. 

Their journey recently included a stop on the secluded island of Menorca in the Balearics, where they sought refuge from a low-pressure storm called Dana, along with other luxury yachts.

Accompanied by their support yacht, Abeona, which carries water toys and additional amenities, the couple has hosted a series of high-profile guests, including Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, 

Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, and his 25-year-old Italian supermodel girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti. 

The A-list group has been spotted enjoying the lavish lifestyle aboard the 417-foot Koru, which ranks as the 32nd largest yacht in the world and costs an estimated $25 million annually to operate.

Throughout their Mediterranean adventure, Bezos and Sánchez have been capturing attention not only for their luxurious surroundings but also for their romantic gestures. 

The couple was recently seen sharing a passionate kiss in front of Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain, participating in the traditional coin toss with the hope of a future return to the Eternal City. 

Their public displays of affection continued as they walked hand-in-hand down cobblestone streets to a dinner at the renowned Pierluigi restaurant, where they dined on white wine, salad, and bread at a table adorned with a single red rose.

The pair also took a moment for a more solemn visit to the Vatican, where they met with 87-year-old Pope Francis. 

Sánchez shared the encounter on social media, writing, "He reminded us not to take life too seriously, a simple yet powerful reminder to keep lightness in our hearts."

Their summer began in June, island-hopping in Greece, where Bezos’ 19-year-old son, Preston, made a rare appearance. 

Kim Kardashian joined the couple, enjoying the Mediterranean waters on jet skis. Kardashian and Sánchez have maintained a close friendship over the years, often seen together at high-profile events, including a Beyoncé concert and a double date in New York City in 2022.

The couple’s Mediterranean tour continued with visits to Mykonos, Hydra, and Pserimos, known for its beautiful beaches. 

In July, they took a brief break from yachting to attend the annual Sun Valley financial conference in Idaho, a gathering of the world’s wealthiest individuals.

Most recently, Bezos and Sánchez were spotted on the island of Sardinia, where they were joined by Perry, Bloom, DiCaprio, and Ceretti. 

The group came ashore for lunch at a high-end beach resort before returning to the opulence of Koru.

Bezos and Sánchez have been navigating not only the Mediterranean but also the social seas of the world’s elite. 

Their luxurious lifestyle, complete with the planet’s largest sailing yacht capable of moving under sail power alone, underscores their position at the pinnacle of wealth and influence. 

The couple recently relocated from Seattle to Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek Island, where Bezos purchased three mansions worth approximately $237 million, offering a luxurious base whenever they decide to leave the high seas.
