More Elite Hypocrisy: Bezos Takes Private Jet to Cabo, Wants to Focus on Climate Change

Jeff Bezos has been spotted landing in Cabo San Lucas with girlfriend Lauren Sanchez for a romantic Valentine’s getaway following his announcement that he would step down as the CEO of Amazon. 

Bezos, 57, and Sanchez, 51, arrived at the luxurious Mexican vacation spot in a private jet on Friday, and were quickly whisked away by a waiting limousine to begin their weekend retreat.

It was the first time the lovebirds had been spotted together since Bezos announced on February 2 that he would hand over the day-to-day management of Amazon to longtime company executive Andy Jassy by the end of this year.

Bezos will remain in the powerful role of executive chairman — but the move should free up more time for his pursuit of space flight with Blue Origin, as well as intimate getaways with his lover Sanchez.

On Friday, Bezos, Sanchez and their entourage were all wearing face masks as they disembarked the private jet in Cabo.

The U.S. and Mexico currently have an agreement in place restricting non-essential travel between the two countries along the land border due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However commercial flights to Mexico are still operating and tourists have continued to visit, despite the CDC rating Mexico in its highest pandemic risk category.

Bezos cut a casual figure in tight-fitting blue jeans and a black jacket as he walked to an awaiting car. 

Meanwhile, Sanchez looked ready to soak up the sun as she clutched onto a large straw hat. 

The couple confirmed their romance in January 2019, making this Valentine’s Day their third together.  

Bezos stunned the business world when he announced his plans to step down earlier this month.  

He revealed his plans in a letter to his 1.3 million Amazon employees, insisting he wasn’t retiring but wants to focus on his ‘passions’ including his space and climate change ventures.
