The ranch also has a space-themed bar where Bezos likes to make margaritas. Sanchéz is photographed reclining beside it, in a sequin dress. ![]() The ranch, purchased in 2004, is filled with oddities such as a vast clock, 500ft below the ground, which boasts gigantic titanium gears and a 10,000lb bronze and concrete pendulum and is designed to chime at one year, 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years and 10,000 years. Sanchéz tells the interviewer she was present for the first crewed flight to space in 2021 and had baseball caps made, embroidered with the couple’s favourite saying: “Love you to space and back.” She plans to go to space herself next year. The Vogue cover shoot took place at the West Texas ranch where Bezos holidays and has built his Blue Origin space facility. This prompted feverish speculation that it was carved in Sanchéz’s image, although she has revealed it is actually one of Bezos’s favourite mythological figures: Freyja, the Norse goddess of war, love and fertility.

Scott drove their four children to school in a Honda, then dropped Bezos at the office, and the couple guarded their privacy and that of their family closely. ![]() Scott was heavily involved in the early years of Amazon, which Bezos founded from a garage in Seattle in 1994, and the couple dedicated their days to building the business. Despite becoming one of the richest men in the world over the course of their 25-year marriage, he remained not dissimilar to the young bookseller, Star Trek fan and monobrowed tech entrepreneur Scott met in the early-1990s. The new Mrs Bezos-to-be, helicopter pilot and former TV journalist Lauren Sánchez, 53, was recounting the story: “When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” she told US Vogue.īezos lived a comparatively quiet life before divorcing his first wife, MacKenzie Scott, in 2019.
