Is Jeff Bezos Buying Vogue for Lauren Sanchez? The Internet Thinks So

July 10, 2025: Jeff Bezos may be preparing for one of the most high-profile media acquisitions in recent memory — and it could double as a wedding gift. According to growing online speculation and industry chatter, the Amazon founder is considering buying Vogue, the iconic fashion magazine, for his wife Lauren Sanchez following their lavish wedding in Venice on June 27.

Rumors intensified after Sanchez appeared on the digital cover of Vogue’s June issue, raising eyebrows across the fashion world. Sources quoted by Stylecaster and the Daily Mail suggest that Bezos isn’t just interested in Vogue, but potentially the entire Condé Nast empire — a portfolio that includes Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, GQ, and Wired. While the Newhouse family, who own Condé Nast, have publicly denied any plans to sell, insiders claim that recent downsizing at the media giant suggests otherwise.

Adding fuel to the fire, legendary Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour stepped down from her U.S. role just one day before the Bezos-Sanchez wedding. While she will continue to serve in her global position, the timing has raised questions. “Anna is said to be brokering the deal,” one source claimed. “She has equity in the business and stands to gain a lot.”

The fashion community has responded with a mix of skepticism and sarcasm. Social media users are speculating that Lauren’s Vogue cover and the possible acquisition are linked, with some commenting, “That’s why Anna left then,” and others joking, “The September issue will be sponsored by Amazon Prime.”

While there is no official confirmation yet, the possibility of Jeff Bezos acquiring Vogue or Condé Nast could mark a dramatic shift in the media and fashion landscape — and signal one of the most extravagant romantic gestures in modern publishing history.
