Lauren Sánchez Bezos Reveals Her Cringe-Worthy Morning Routine
The 56-year-old says she’s happier than most people.
Lauren Sánchez Bezos is dishing on the cringe-worthy morning ritual she shares with the world’s third-richest man.
The 56-year-old wife of Jeff Bezos, 62, told the New York Times that she and the tech billionaire start their day at 6 a.m. by listing 10 things they are grateful for —with one rule: no repeats from the day before.
While some may struggle with the task, Sanchez said it comes easily to her since she is 20 percent happier than the average person— a feeling that she says has only intensified since getting together with Bezos.
“If baseline is here,” Sánchez Bezos told the Times, holding her hand at chest level, “I’m up here,” raising her other hand above her head.

Despite owning multiple properties around the world, Bezos now spends the majority of his time alongside Sánchez Bezos at their home on an exclusive island just north of Miami Beach known as the “Billionaire Bunker” due to its high-net-worth inhabitants.

The couple tied the knot last June in a lavish $50 million wedding that was featured in Vogue. The affair, which took place in Venice, was attended by a constellation of celebrities, from Oprah Winfrey to Barbra Streisand to Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump.

Their ceremony drew protests throughout the city, which residents say is plagued by overtourism.
The duo came under fire once again after being announced as the lead sponsors for the 2026 Met Gala, with critics saying that Vogue’s mastermind, Anna Wintour, a famous Democratic donor, sold out.

“So tired of Anna. So tired of the rich thinking they can buy class and style,” one person wrote on social media, “Billionaires buying everything and anything.”
Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post, faced backlash for gutting the newspaper by firing over 300 journalists in February.
His wife, however, declined to weigh in on the cuts to the New York Times.
“I was a journalist, and I know how important journalism is. But I don’t make those business decisions, so I really can’t answer them,” Sánchez Bezos said.
