Bezos seen on $500-mn yacht amid Amazon's 9,000-staff layoff plan

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 59, was caught sunbathing shirtless with his 53-year-old girlfriend Lauren Sanchez on his $500 million opulent yacht in Spain. Bezos has been seeing Sanchez since 2018. They were sighted aboard his new superyacht in Majorca, Spain, according to Hola.com, after spending time in Miami for the F1 Grand Prix. They were observed gazing at the ocean and each other from the boat’s deck. Sanchez was sporting a little pink bikini, while Bezos was sporting blue swim trunks. The yacht, which goes by the name Koru, is 417 feet long. According to Boat International, it is also recognized as the largest sailing boat in the world because of its three tall masts, numerous decks, one of which has a pool, and a supporting 250-foot-long vessel with a helipad.

Bezos and Sanchez have previously been seen together at Coachella in April

Bezos and Sanchez have previously been seen together at Coachella in April as well as at the F1 Miami Grand Prix earlier in May. Soon, Sanchez will be recognized as the first person to command an all-female Blue Origin space expedition. She stated in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that Bezos has encouraged her to assemble a female crew of five to launch into space on a Blue Origin rocket.

The relationship between the Emmy-winning TV anchor and former helicopter pilot and the founder of Amazon was made public in January 2019. Since then, her name has been well-known. “It’s going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send,” Sanchez was quoted as saying. “I’m going to have to hold him (Bezos) back. He’ll be cheering us all on from the sidelines,” she added.

Layoffs in Amazon

The CEO of Amazon, Andy Jassy, revealed in a statement on March 20, 2023, that the firm will lay off another set of 9,000 workers in the coming weeks. This will be the third significant round of layoffs since November, and it follows a significant job loss at Facebook and Instagram’s parent company just last week. A further 9,000 Amazon employees will be let go globally as the e-commerce behemoth intensifies its cost-cutting tactics.
