The billionaire class has achieved a status that transcends mere celebrity. With their unlimited resources, many view them through the prism of royalty, especially when it comes to their ostentatious weddings. The recent Jeff Bezos wedding is the latest example.
Mr. Bezos married Lauren Sanchez in a three day affair in Venice which A.I. estimates cost somewhere between $45 and $56 million.
It’s hard for we mere mortals not to gasp at such a budget. It’s hard not to scratch our heads wondering how anyone could actually spend that much money … in three days, no less!
But when the head scratching is done and we come back down to earth, we realize that nobody needs to spend a whole lot of money to experience their own magical wedding celebration.
The media loves to write about extravagant wedding spending. The New York Times just ran a piece claiming that the price tag on weddings rose 18% since 2020. Let’s put that in perspective.
The price of gasoline increased by 82% since 2020.
Food prices went up 23.6 percent.
Kelley’s Blue Book said automobiles rose 30% since 2020.
Overall, inflation increased 23.7% in these past five years. If anything, your wedding spend is a bargain when compared to goods and services in other categories.
