Jeff Bezos’ New Year’s Disco Style Hits a Nerve

The Amazon and Blue Origin founder celebrated 2022 with a party while traveling on a yacht in the Caribbean. Not all of his social media followers were impressed with his splashy look.

Jeff Bezos, 57, is having fun with accessories, and his haters are having fun mocking them. In July 2021, the founder of Amazon.com Inc. and aerospace enterprise Blue Origin, flew to space while wearing a rather on-the-nose cowboy hat from upscale Aspen store Kemo Sabe. “I guess space turns you into Kenny Chesney,” joked Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” then. Mr. Bezos’ girlfriend, journalist Lauren Sánchez, was photographed kissing him the day of the space flight while shielded by her own cowboy hat. Recently, the couple made headlines again by doing little more than posting a photo to Instagram of their outfits for a poolside disco-themed New Year’s Eve party.

But, oh, what a photo. In it, Mr. Bezos beams in a pair of tight white pants, a gaudy patterned silk shirt and heart-shaped sunglasses (at night), while Ms. Sánchez wears a racy sparkled jumpsuit with significant cutaways. They look like a couple that does little but work out and make out—the billionaire version of the cast of the reality show “Jersey Shore”—an impression reinforced by other photos taken of the pair during their 2021-2022 holiday break spent on a yacht with friends and family near St. Barth in the Caribbean. Through a representative, Mr. Bezos declined to comment.

5. Those photos look as fake as half of that bootleg Chinese knockoff stuff his site allows to be sold.

.

Treat all supplements and OTC meds as suspect there.

YouTube's Mousetrap Monday exposed how Amazon allows dozens of clone sellers to exist that pirate US intellectual property, use watermarked images and portray fake endorsements. Bogus products hit the market days after the release of the legit product.

When reported, action is tepid, like they don't even care that much.


As a side note, when you get those spam and phishing emails, if you open up the message body, perform an NSLOOKUP on the IP address, you'll see that over half of them are coming from Amazon Web Service virtual hosts. It's so easy for spammers to set up services on the cheap and flood email systems. Thoe emails will then have URLs to other non-AWS sites.

7. It's not his partying that bothers me. It's his business practices, such as crushing unions.

Would that we all could afford to party like it's 1999.
