The $500 million yacht the Koru is the most visible indication of Jeff Bezos' incredible wealth – and the plan was for it to moor at San Basilio in Venice for the duration of the festivities around his wedding to Lauren Sanchez this week.
But following lively protests in the city, and given heightened global concerns, the couple have decided that it's safer to stay in the seas off Croatia, where they are aboard the Koru now.
The plan now taking shape is for Lauren, Jeff and their family to helicopter in to Venice. The bride-to-be is a qualified helicopter pilot and a helicopter enthusiast.
But this will bring its own problems as there are very few helipads in the city.
Indeed there is no helipad on San Giorgio Maggiore, which is confirmed as the wedding venue for this coming Friday.
