Keep trinkets but let rest of us enjoy world's treasures

Get mega-rich to sign people's pre-nup

I'D have paid good money to be a fly on the wall at the Bezos wedding's Great Gatsby-themed bash in Venice.

Not that any such lowly creature would have made it within the gilded walls of one of the most expensive and repulsive nuptials of the modern age.

The billionaire groom and Amazon owner probably had every fly-swatting service and insect repellent contractor in town on the payroll.

Nothing that could be bought was left to chance when he wed bride Lauren Sanchez in the City of Love last week.

Every desire and whim had its price.

The hotel rooms went for €4,000 a night.

The entire Venetian water taxi fleet, a mere €1.5 milllion for three days.

There was two mill for private jet travel.

Throw in the same again for the fees to stage a party on the half-a-billion-euro yacht. Then raise it the same again for wedding rings to match what was already shelled out on an engagement ring.

The tsunami of vulgarity even managed to put a figure on one of humanity's priceless heritage treasures - Venice itself - which was bought like a trinket as a selfie filter for the weekend.

Still, it would have been worth that fly making its way to a wall draped in Renaissance masters just to let us all know, did they get it at all? The irony? Here was the fourth richest guy in the world, dropping around €40 billion for a party.
