For some reason the NYT has a long article about Lauren Sánchez Bezos. It's called, inanely, "Someone Has to Be Happy. Why Not Lauren Sánchez Bezos? As half of an unfathomably powerful couple, Mrs. Sánchez Bezos seems to have influenced the uber-rich to stop apologizing, and start enjoying themselves."
I skimmed most of the article, but I'm blogging it because I can't imagine someone with all the money drinking coffee from a mug that says "Woke Up Sexy as Hell Again" and making her husband drink from a cup marked "HUNK." And, sorry, I just don't believe "they begin each day by listing 10 things they’re grateful for" — whether they allow themselves to repeat items or not. Supposedly, you wake up sexy, and then you do the 10-things list, which is more like a New Age religion substitute, and just not sexy at all, even if you're listing things like I'm thankful I'm so sexy, I'm thankful my husband is sexy, I'm thankful I wake up sexy, I'm thankful I know how to derive multiple thankfulness items from the concept that I am sexy, I'm thankful for the sexiness with which I woke up yesterday, I'm thankful for pickleball, I'm thankful my husband is the third richest man in the world, I'm thankful for the New York Times, I'm thankful for our unfathomable power, and I'm thankful to have reached #10 on our daily thankfulness list.

I'd like Bezos and Mark Zuckerburg to fund new state of the art Humane Society building complexes on all of the Hawaiian Islands.
Cheap bastards. I don't mind their extreme wealth - I do mind their lack of charity.
I heard Bezos also has a compound on Maui. He probably has a compound every 3000 miles around the globe.
Zuckerberg has a huge compound on the Island of Kauai
As if anyone thought the uber rich weren’t enjoying themselves…. Dreck.
That's quite the visual image, Mrs. Sánchez Bezos and her new husband sharing their coffee bowels together.
i'd have to repeat.. EVERY DAY;
that i'm thankful i don't have enormous fake lips
"..."Woke Up Sexy as Hell Again"... She always says that when the anesthesia wears off, too.
Remember- the NYTs employees - who work out of mom's basement... are really right there in the room with all of these people.
here's a fun, but serious question:
of the 10 (100? (1000?)) richest women in the whole world..
how many of them are rich because of their husbands?
BONUS question:
of the ones left..how many of THEM are rich because of fathers?
I'm/Too sexy for my mug/Too sexy for my mug/I look like a pug....CC, JSM
Mrs. Sánchez Bezos has always left the impression that she was cocktail waitress in a Vegas casino who caught his eye. She's his...take a walk on the wild side...second wife.
Tame stuff relative to the Epstein - Weinstein - Gates revelations.
Per The Human League
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Don't, don't you want me?
Reminds me of how the song "I'm not in love" came to be.
"Well, if I say every day '..., blah, blah, blah,' it's not gonna mean anything eventually."
I wonder what the penalty for repeating a gratitude is.
I can remember a time when the press (or at least part of it) mocked the Rich. Now, they worship them. Its like reading some 1900s women's magazine about the Duke of York and the Duchess.
The Bezos are sadly vapid bozo creatures of their bazillions. No quiet philanthropy addressing illiteracy, or childhood poverty, or environmental preservation or scholarship underwriting, not even historic preservation for some municipal mansion or country estate. Just conspicuous 24/7 consumption, he the former nerd, she the stereotypical good digger 2nd wife.
"not even historic preservation for some municipal mansion or country estate."
LOL. what?
All the money in the world, and you still feel compelled to be a phony. The hunger for social approval can be scary strong.
Lauren says grace before meals: Let us thank Him for our boobs.
"...I can remember a time when the press (or at least part of it) mocked the Rich. Now, they worship them. Its like reading some 1900s women's magazine about the Duke of York and the Duchess. ..."
Ah - you forgot to apply your filters. Once you do that, you'll find plenty of mocking, as long as it has a Conservative in the crosshairs. You can start with Donald Trump's taste in decorating, that's an easy one.
I don't mind mockery of the wealthy, it's a healthy reminder of the equalizing power of free speech. It's the double standard that I mind.
She used to be married to Patrick Whitesell, the co-CEO with Ari Emanuel (brother of Rahm) of the IMG talent agency. Patrick Whitesell is the opposite of Ari Emanual--well-scrubbed, handsome, modest, Iowa-born and raised, and polite. If you ever see Patrick Whitesell, you will immediately know why he was a great match with Ari in a good-cop, bad-cop routine. Lauren Sanchez dumped him for Bezos.
I looked at the picture and appreciate the reminder that I need to get air in my car tires
Among the super-wealthy, I rank Bezos and Gates on the Despicable Plutocrat tier, with Gates being the more abhorrent, whereas Musk is the sole occupant of the Visionary/Mad Genius tier. He's Captain Nemo born into reality.
As much as we need Blue Origin's New Glenn heavy-lift booster, I'm skeptical it will ever become operational. So far, only Bezos' absurd carnival ride, the New Shepard is flying. Why? To curry favor with the celebrities who have pointedly avoided him as a jumped-up storekeeper. Bezos longs for parties and the secret confabs inhabited by the Obamas, the Clintons, and the Kardashians.
1. I love your list. If their list and mugs are a real thing, that puppy is well trained.
2. That top photo is a very good one of Jeff Bezos. Sunglasses hide his droopy eyelid. Seems more noticeable now.
3. I love the photo where Lauren’s boobs are bursting out of her vase-shaped corset. Every time I want to dislike her, she does something like that and wins me right back.
4. Sydney Sweeney was invited to the wedding. Clearly Sanchez isn’t afraid of the competition.
5. I’ve seen clips of them together where Bezos looks like he’s been taken hostage. I hope that’s not the case. I hope he’s having the time of his life. He deserves it. Thank you for Amazon, Jeff.
Bezos gave her one that said, 'Woke Up Re-Cockified Again', but somehow it got broken.
Marketing via the NYT may be a fine way to maximize penetration of a rarified clientele. A missive from the gods is a time-tested approach.
Amazon is genius at marketing.
The NYTimes as People Magazine
NYT reporters are hanging out with Trump and Bezos.
At some point my #1 thing to be thankful for would be a .45 in my mouth.
The ultimate challenge for Candace Owens: foster a rumor that Lauren Sanchez is really a boy, born Laurence Sanchez. Go, Candy! You can do it!
And I can't wait for Megyn Kelly to chime in with, "Candace Owens is a young mother who is just asking questions."
Candace Owens.. the real carnival.
yeah the space taxi is a silly thing,
beside her full figuredness, there isn't much to lauren,
Megyn has lost the plot in significant ways
snr villaraigosa found her
Gag me with a spoon - to coin a phrase.
They're just following the advice of Dr. Andrew huberman who was made popular by Joe Rogan podcast which I introduced this blog too. Your welcome.
Also, just because people are insanely, wealthy doesn't mean that they stop behaving like the people they were when they were normal average human beings.
She has got one of the most disgusting face jobs and boob jobs that I've ever seen and he is a roided up dweeb.
Being wealthy changes None of that and so they are trying to live their best life as they see fit by following influencer advice, just like the rest of us.
They seem oddly normal.
People do love to gossip about the Rich and famous, however. Eventually they're just going to end up as roadkill like everyone else.
Bezos does give money away. After all, he has a lot to give away. He doesn't call attention to it the way that Bill Gates does. The enviroment and "climate change" is a big priority for him, but he's not as blatant in his desire to rule the world as Gates or Soros. If we need something other than his vapid relationship to complain about, what he's doing to bricks and mortar retail outlets is bad enough.
I don't know, though. Is Bezos returning to his stepfather's Latino heritage by dumping a "McKenzie Scott" for a dirty Sanchez? Can't say the muchacho doesn't have the common touch.
Remember those wax candy fake lips? That’s what she looks like she is wearing.
Did Bezos ever get his yacht? They had it made in (I think) Holland, and then found out that it was too massive to fit under the bridge.
Someone has to be happy? I’d rather Melania Trump and Usha Vance were happy in preference to Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
As the band Right Said Fred sang “too sexy for my cat.”
Rich and shallow. Whatever.
They're his and hers. Coffee mugs are just another version of a gold-plated toilet. God, do I miss Robin Leach
Meh. I love great snark, but envy disguised as snark is just an expression of weakness. A thing few women, and readers of the NYT, understand.
Think of this article as one of those AWFL self-dramatizations that Althouse offers for our mockery, and you’re there.
oh it's amy chozick of 'planet hillary' fame, no wonder she was so far off the mark,
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Just wait until Jeff says one morning: "Oh fer chrissake, enough with the 10 things!"
The real power is whoever makes them do this stuff.
I wake up and do whatever the hell I feel like doing, and sometimes I don't.
Glass is half empty for someone today.
“beside her full figuredness, there isn't much to lauren”
As if there had to be.
The billionaires we work for have goofy mugs and chase bargains like everyone else, though they’d better not have sexy as Hell mugs because…
“ his from one she got him that spells HUNK in symbols from the periodic table.”
And that is printed in the times? How embarrassing . I’m a real genius I know all about chemistry, there is hydrogen, and there is uranium, and Nutregina, and Potassium. In search of something to be proud of, but he is smart enough to have an idea that makes him rich. The new Mavin Johnson.
But it’s a good deal if you can get it.
Barf Betting pool before she becomes a Real Housewife?
I think a lot of rich people are miserable as shit. Once you reach a certain level of financial security, money is pretty irrelevant to your happiness. State of mind is way more important. If you’re looking for joy, try Christianity. Passion, love, orgasms, joy, babies, laughter. Dogs!
The best thing about money is that it gives you optionality. But rain will still fall in your life, that is for sure.
Warren Buffett eats at McDonald’s every day.
That to me is a subpar existence. Or at least a subpar menu.
I can't imagine someone with all the money drinking coffee from a mug that says "Woke Up Sexy as Hell Again" and making her husband drink from a cup marked "HUNK."
What, no link to the Althouse portal?
Well, isn't that Special.
oh it's amy chozick of 'planet hillary' fame, no wonder she was so far off the mark
that is too funny
I Am Goddess of the Planet, Look at My Head
Why are they powerful let alone immeasurably powerful?
Not only did the formerly "venerable" NYT devote two full pages of its Sunday edition to this dreck, it was in the Business Section. Why?
Good for them.
Too Sexy
Those LIARS. You are right, Ann, not a word of truth about their routines. And we all know money can't buy happiness, right? So, LIARS.
They should be extra thankful (every morning) they live in the free state of Florida.
Whenever they appear in public, three boobs are on display.
The New York Times journalism staff revolted because a Conservative wrote an OP ED.
If you think they are a legit news organization after that, well it's your money.
“I'm thankful my husband is the third richest man in the world”
Sadly, he’s fourth. Well, that can go on tomorrow’s list.
Oh, he is third on the Forbes “Real Time” list. Maybe later today he will be second.
