Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Attend Jacklyn Bezos’ Funeral Amid Grieving Family Moments
Sage Matthews here, reporting from the edge of civilization where billionaires attend funerals and we all pretend this isn’t just another day in the twilight zone of late-stage capitalism.
Of course it was raining when Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sánchez, stepped out of a black SUV at a modest Miami funeral home to mourn the passing of Jacklyn Bezos. Because why wouldn’t it be? The sky probably wept for us all as one of the richest men on Earth walked into a room full of people who likely never asked for private jets or A-list weddings but still got swept up in the chaos anyway.
The service for Jacklyn, held at Caballero Rivero Westchester funeral home, was described as “intimate,” which is code for “no paparazzi, no influencers, just family quietly dealing with grief.” And yet, somehow, the press found them anyway. Of course they did. This is 2025, after all—privacy is dead, even in death.
Jacklyn passed away last week after battling Lewy Body Dementia, a cruel disease that slowly erodes memory and motor function until there’s nothing left but silence. Jeff confirmed her passing on Instagram, writing a heartfelt tribute about being surrounded by loved ones during her final moments. Touching, sure, if you ignore the fact that those same loved ones included Kim Kardashian and Leonardo DiCaprio just weeks earlier at his wedding—a celebration so extravagant it made tabloid headlines for days.
Jacklyn wasn’t there for the wedding. Understandably so, given her condition. But she missed it. Like many parents do when their children choose spectacle over sentiment. It’s not like Jeff couldn’t have flown in a few doctors or rented a quiet villa in Tuscany for a smaller ceremony. But no, that would’ve been too normal. Too human.
Instead, he and Sánchez opted for grandeur while his mother faded quietly in Florida. And now here they were, arriving hand-in-hand at her funeral, trying to look somber between photo ops. It’s almost poetic, in a tragic, modern-American-royalty kind of way.
About 50 people attended the service, including Bezos’ brother Mark and stepfather Mike. No red carpets, no flashing lights—just a modest send-off for a woman who raised one of the most powerful men in the world, only to watch him become something unrecognizable to most people outside of a Bloomberg terminal.
Jacklyn was 78. She lived long enough to see her son build an empire, divorce his first wife, marry a former news anchor, and become a punchline in every dystopian satire written since 2019. What she didn’t live to see was any of it make sense.
So yes, Bezos and Sánchez showed up. They held hands. They looked appropriately sad. And then they got back in their SUV and drove off into whatever comes next in this bizarre soap opera we’re forced to call reality TV.
Anyway, can’t wait to see how this gets worse.
