In the clip, Ms Sanchez can be seen smiling broadly as she chatted with Leonardo DiCaprio. The six-second video, taken without context, appears to suggest that Mr Bezos was the third wheel on this occasion – and the fact wasn’t lost on him. The Amazon and Blue Origin founder responded to the clip by jokingly threatening his rival.
“Leo, come over here, I want to show you something,” he wrote while responding to the clip. Alongside his tweet, Mr Bezos shared a shirtless photo of himself standing over a sign that reads, “Danger! Steep cliff. Fatal drop.”
The billionaire’s tweet has gone viral with over 1.4 lakh ‘likes’ and a thousands of amused comments.
Jeff Bezos has been romantically linked to American news anchor Lauren Sanchez since 2019. Their relationship made headlines shortly after the Amazon chief, in a surprise announcement, revealed that he was divorcing his wife, MacKenzie Scott, after 25 years together.
