Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the richest people in the world, has made waves again – this time not with a technology product, but with a gesture of generosity towards the staff of a luxury hotel in Venice.
According to Italian newspaper Il Gazzettino, Bezos left a €45,000 tip to the staff of the seven-star hotel where he stayed with his new wife, Lauren Sanchez, shortly after their wedding.
Although Bezos himself has neither confirmed nor denied this information, the news has become a topic of discussion in the Italian city, where the couple's stay has attracted great attention.
The tip, while high for most people, represents a small sum compared to the cost of the couple's wedding, which reportedly cost around $30 million and took place three weeks ago in a lavish ceremony.
With deep pockets and a life of luxury, it seems that for Jeff Bezos even "modest" gestures can make a big impression. (A2 Televizion)
