Billionaire Jeff Bezos was seen strolling through Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday night to enjoy dinner with President-elect Donald Trump.
The Amazon founder arrived at the Florida mansion with his fiancée Lauren Sánchez for his first meal with Trump after his recent election victory.
Images shared on social platform X show the couple holding hands and walking alongside Trump while greeting other guests.
The tech mogul wore a navy suit and a white shirt, while his partner Sanchez put on a leggy display in a little black dress and stilettos.
Bezos is one of the latest tech giants to rub shoulders with Trump ahead of his presidential inauguration on January 20, 2025.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Bezos said he planned to donate $1 million to the incoming president’s inaugural fund.
The relationship between Trump and Bezos has been rocky during the election, but appeared to improve after the Bezos-owned newspaper, the Washington Post, refused to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
This move broke the tradition of the publication that has historically supported the Democratic Party.

Trump at Mar-a-Lago last night when he hosted a dinner with billionaire Jeff Bezos
Bezos’ visit to Mar-a-Lago comes after Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg traveled to Florida last month to have dinner with Trump at his resort.
Zuckerberg said he was “grateful” for the opportunity to meet with the president-elect in an attempt to please him before his return to the White House after years of hostilities between the two tycoons.
Trump has previously launched several public attacks on Zuckerberg over his perception that he and other conservatives have been unfairly censored by Meta.
This included claims in Trump’s book Save America earlier this year, where he claimed that Zuckerberg conspired against him in the 2020 election and vowed that Zuckerberg would “spend the rest of his life in prison” if he did it again.
But the billionaires appeared to have put aside their differences this week in Florida, and a Meta spokesperson said in a statement that Trump invited Zuckerberg to the meeting.
“This is an important moment for the future of American innovation,” the statement read.
‘Mark appreciated the invitation to dinner with President Trump and the opportunity to meet with members of his team to discuss the incoming administration.
