Jeff Bezos' $500M Yacht Undergoes Routine Customs Inspection Near St. Barts

Customs officials conducted a three-hour search on the luxury yacht Koru while Lauren Sánchez and friends were on board, with Bezos notably absent.

The inspection occurred on New Year's Eve near St. Barts, a popular destination for celebrities during the holiday season.
Customs officials characterized the three-hour search of the $500 million yacht as a routine procedure.
Lauren Sánchez, Bezos' fiancée, remained unbothered during the inspection, posing for photos while sunbathing with friends on the yacht.
Jeff Bezos was not aboard the yacht during the inspection, and no official statement has been made by his representatives or customs authorities.
The yacht gathering followed a snowy celebration in Aspen, Colorado, where Bezos denied rumors of a $600 million New Year's Eve wedding.
