how do you spend over half a billion on a wedding? did he buy the entire city of aspen and surrounding mountains?

[–] dumpster_dove@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

That's like 5 massively wasteful Hollywood blockbuster movies what the fuck

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.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 27 points 18 hours ago

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.

someone just bill him for $450,000 for some vague reason and say it's for the wedding. he might pay it

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 21 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 3 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 18 points 17 hours ago

OK but if I can get to a country that doesn't extradite before then I should be in the clear right? Hypothetically

Was gonna say I know wedding can be expensive but damn

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 13 minutes ago

This is like twice what my wedding cost, insane

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 30 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's probably not the actual cost. Sensationalism from NY Post.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 41 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

yeah he probably only spent like $450 million, which whomst among us.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 20 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah we've all spent $450+ Million on a wedding at some point or another, of course
