Jeff Bezos is taking some vacation time.
Not long after the world’s second-richest man announced he will step down as Amazon CEO later this year, he and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez were pictured aboard a luxury boat in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Bezos – wearing blue swimming trunks, short-sleeved shirt and straw hat – and Sanchez, wearing a red bikini and white cover-up, were photographed on the chic ride, strolling along the water in the sun.
On February 2, it was announced that Andy Jassy, head of Amazon’s cloud computing unit, will take over as CEO in the third quarter of 2021. Bezos, who founded the company 27 years ago, will serve as executive chairman of the board of board of Amazon.
Page six exclusively revealed in January 2019 that Bezos, 57, and Sanchez, 51, were dating – just as Bezos announced that he and his wife, MacKenzie Bezos, were getting divorced. Sanchez was also in the midst of her own divorce at the time, from Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell.
Ever since Bezos and Sanchez’s scandalous romance went public, Page Six reported having “ gone Hollywood ” with splashy gestures for his wife. Bold fashion choices, lunch with Anna Wintour, a non-stop barrage of shameless selfies with He’s A-listers. A narcissist with poor judgment, and Lauren is the boss, ”a former friend of Sanchez told us last year.
The world traveler couple have been spotted on vacation in glamorous places around the world, from St-Tropez to the Balearic Islands.
