    Humans are feckless creatures for allowing it to get to this point. Like seriously what the actual fuck, how do we let these people exist

    How in the fuck do you even spend $600M on a wedding? It's a truly mind-boggling amount.

    Death to all billionaires.

      The richest guys in india(Ambanis) did a very lavish wedding for their son where they shamelessly flexed their wealth on the mostly poor Indian population for months.

      Idk but I bet it's more than a hitman would charge and still wouldn't be able to stop a hitman. I very much doubt we'll see headlines about a hitman getting arrested or killed at this wedding. Maybe a lone wolf conservative with bad aim, but not an actual contract killer.

        What are contract killers even up to then?

        it's probably creating tragedies in the Middle East and Africa as mercenaries for the US military.

            In 1972 2024, a crack commando unit was sent to prison given commendations by a military court for a crime they didn't commit definitely committed. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground went to a party thrown in their honor at Los Angeles City Hall. Today, still wanted by the government so they can commit more warcrimes they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire The A-Team.

    Imagine being the pathetic kind of person that has to spend $600,000,000 on a wedding solely for your own (and I suppose your partner's) happiness, while millions of people around the world are starving, losing housing, unable to afford medical procedures, etc.

    Hoarding this much wealth in the first place should be classified as a mental disorder.

    Assuming this number is accurate, it's roughly 0.2% of Bezos's estimated net worth, or equivalent to the median American household spending $400.

      I mean, if I were a wedding planner/caterer/anyone on staff and Jeff Bezos asked me to do his wedding, I'd upcharge the hell out of him.

        i would take the deposit and use it to hire freelancers to do some kind of Die Hard 1 / Die Hard 3 / Under Siege sort of situation. or just get everybody to ingest/inhale ricin lol. just kidding, i would never do that because it's illegal and i am a good boy.

          i've heard of people doing that kind of thing, like invoicing some giant multinational company for something after they've figured out the address for accounts payable or whatever and getting away with it. but i've also heard of people getting caught in an audit and hit with fraud charges because it went through the US mail, which above a certain amount is a felony. but, respect the grift lol.

            What if I normally charge that amount, but I give everyone except Bezos a massive "not being evil" discount?

    Unrelated to anything in the article, but I know commercially available drones are programmed to shut down when entering restricted airspace. I wonder if they're programmed to shut down close to any sort of civilian stuff like a large crowd, or a place someone would want to keep private?

      Something that just popped in my head for no reason is that most decent quadcopters broadcast the gps coordinates of the person operating them.
