According to the publication, the bash was held on Saturday evening at the couple’s Warner estate in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and it had a “celestial, space-age” theme.
“Hundreds of people attended, and the guest list could have rivaled an Oscar bash with everyone from Jay Z, Beyoncé to Oprah there,” a source told the publication.
The source added there was a strict no-photographs rule and food included McDonald’s, which represented the billionaire’s very first job at just 16 years old.

“Jeff and Lauren could barely keep their hands off each other all night,” the source said, adding that it was a “night to remember”.
In her post, Sánchez, 54, said it was a “special evening” as she showed off the elaborate red jewel-encrusted gown she wore for the event.
“Getting ready is sometimes the best part of the night. ❤️ thank you @laurabasci for creating this incredible dress for such a special evening,” she said.

The designer revealed the frock was a custom design and was hand beaded and made using Swarovski crystals.
Underneath, Keleigh Teller, Kathy Hilton and Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, and supermodel Heidi Klum commented and implied they were also in attendance.
“You are the brightest gift to Jeff. Happy Birthday. We had a blast celebrating with you,” Klum wrote.

Last year, it was reported that Bezos and Sánchez were engaged.
The couple reportedly decided to take their relationship to the next level while on vacation together in the South of France, a source confirmed to People at the time.
They became engaged in May after the billionaire popped the question on his $US500 million ($AU786 million) yacht.
Sanchez told Vogue that she “blacked out a bit” when she saw the 20-carat $US2.5million ($AU3.9million) engagement ring he presented her with.
After a romantic dinner, Bezos proposed by hiding the ring under her pillow, which she discovered when she hopped into bed after taking her makeup off.
“When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” Sanchez said.
She said that they’re undecided on where to have their wedding, but said she will be taking his last name once they said ”I do”.
“We’re still thinking about the wedding… what it’s going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas? We don’t know yet. We’ve only been engaged five months!”
She added: “I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.”
The Amazon boss is one of the richest men on earth, with his net worth estimated at $USD137.8 billion (approx. $211 billion.)
Sánchez has accumulated her own wealth through businesses and is thought to be worth $US30 million ($45 million).
Prior to this, the couple had been dating for five years. Sanchez, who rose to fame as a reporter and is now a media personality, was previously married to Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell, with whom she shares a son and daughter.
She divorced Whitesell in 2019, the same year that Bezos split from his former wife Mackenzie.
