In the past few days, Jeff Bezos has been at the center of high drama on two fronts: his struggling Washington Post empire and glamorous Paris nights with wife Lauren Sanchez. According to The New York Times on January 26, the Post abruptly canceled plans to send a full team to cover the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, just weeks before the event, shocking staff whod booked 80,000 dollars in travel. Simon Owens Substack called it proof Bezos has given up on growth, treating the paper like a private equity cost-cutter despite his 250 billion net worth.
By Monday, desperate Post reporters launched a viral SaveThePost campaign on X, pleading directly with Bezos. Ukraine bureau chief Siobhan OGrady tweeted, Hi JeffBezos, we risk our lives for storiesplease believe in us, as reported by WCCSRadio. Foreign correspondents sent him a collective letter urging him to halt looming layoffs that could axe half the newsroom, shutter the iconic sports desk entirely, and gut international coverage, per The Spun and Defector. Sports staff even skipped Nationals spring training, and rumors swirled of 300 jobs on the chopping block via Puck News Dylan Byers. Critics like ex-Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler slammed Bezos as an absentee owner on Fox News.
Meanwhile, Bezos jetted to Paris Fashion Week for Spring Summer 2026 Haute Couture. TMZ caught Lauren Sanchez tripping in sky-high heels while hand-in-hand with him entering dinner after the Christian Dior show on Monday, but she recovered like a pro in her head-to-toe blue fur-lined suit. Times of India noted her dominating front rows at Schiaparelli in fiery red with that signature Face Bag, though fans griped shes everywhereMrs. Amazon overload. RadarOnline snarked he was partying couture-style as his paper burns.
On a lighter X note, Business Insider reports Bezos debunked a viral Polymarket post on January 22 claiming he advised Gen Z entrepreneurs to flip burgers at McDonalds or grind at Palantir firstNope, he tweeted, they made it up.
No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but these Post pleas carry huge biographical weight, signaling a pivot from visionary buyer to hands-off mogul.
