The nuptials spanned three days in Venice and reportedly cost over $50 million. Chump change, surely, for Bezos, who is considered one of the richest men in the world with a reported net worth of roughly $220 billion. Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Mick Jagger, and Kim Kardashian were among the A-list attendees celebrating the billionaire couple's union.

O'Donnell — who moved abroad with her 12-year-old child, Clay, five days before Donald Trump's second inauguration as president — took to her newsletter on Substack to call out the newlyweds for the "gross excess" of their wedding amid the growing controversies that make up the United States' government policies, as well as the star-studded list of attendees.

"It turned my stomach. Seeing all these billionaires. Gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it," O'Donnell wrote. "Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really - how is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife. Who looks like that? Why would he choose her? After the salt of the earth Mackenzie."

The former talk show host posited that Bezos "sold his soul," writing that "The devil is smiling at all his conquests."

She continued, in part, "Bezos was raised by a single mother. He knows exactly what he does. So do all of his guests. Posing for photos forgetting themselves. In their designer outfits. Ready for a Vogue cover. A spot on ET. More worthless performative nonsense."

O'Donnell mused on how U.S. citizens will fight against the Trump administration when they have "become numb to gross excess. We have learned to tolerate it." She continued, "Celebrity worship. Devoid of humanity... As we worship the ones hurting us. Numbly asking for nothing. In an American stupor. Of [our] own making."

Bezos and Sánchez got married on June 27 in Venice, Italy, surrounded by more than 200 of their closest family and friends.

News of their romance broke in early January 2019, around the same time that Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott after 25 years together. The former couple share four children together.

The former Good Day LA co-host was also divorcing her husband of nearly 14 years, Patrick Whitesell, around the same time. Sánchez has two children with the Hollywood agent, as well as a son from a previous relationship with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.

O'Donnell isn't the first or only celebrity who voiced a negative opinion over the nuptials, although no one else managed to phrase their complaints quite so poetically.

Megyn Kelly, known for not mincing words, eviscerated the guest list for the wedding during the latest episode of her eponymous SiriusXM show.

"Because that's what you do when you are Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez: You invite only your close friends," Kelly said, mocking the "star-studded" event. "You're literally one of the richest men in the world, so you'd make sure that you only invite the people who love you for you, you know, the people who were there before you built Amazon...What matters to them is that it's a star-studded event, not that they have dear friends who love them, standing up for them, when they take a sacred vow."

Old Guard star Charlize Theron reportedly made a barbed comment about the guest list during a speech at her Africa Outreach Block Party in Los Angeles on Saturday.

"I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding," Theron joked. "But that's OK because they suck and we're cool."

And, of course, Venice natives made their displeasure with the nuptials clear as they gathered around the city, including along the scenic canals, to protest the wedding, citing corporate greed and overtourism.

Banners that read "No Space for Bezos," a play on his space-tech company Blue Origin, and "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax" have been unfurled by activists.
