Amid rumors that the upcoming wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, will cost $600 million, Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor made a BTC proposal to Bezos.
Saylor urged Bezos to buy BTC, saying that “with $600 million he could buy a very large amount of Bitcoin.”
However, Jeff Bezos denied the claim that the wedding would cost $600 million in his published statement.
Numerous other sites have also covered the story, citing the Daily Mail. One of these stories caught the attention of Bezos' billionaire friend Bill Ackman, who posted on X that the figure was “not credible.”
Bezos, whose net worth is estimated at $238.5 billion, responded to Ackman's tweet, not only disputing the price tag but also appearing to imply that there is no wedding next weekend.
“Moreover, all of this is completely false, none of this is happening,” Bezos wrote to X. “The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ rings truer today than ever.”
Bezos continued by commenting on a quote attributed to Mark Twain.
“Lies can now reach every corner of the world before the truth even gets out. So be careful out there and don’t be naive,” he wrote.
