Forbes StaffThe annual Sun Valley Conference, hosted by investment firm Allen & Co., has begun in Sun Valley, Idaho. This exclusive retreat gathers some of the world’s wealthiest individuals to engage in recreational activities and business discussions.
Among the notable attendees this year are Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez. The couple arrived dressed in chic casual attire. Bezos, 60, wore a black zip-up vest over a matching muscle tee and jeans, while Sanchez, 54, sported an off-white knit cardigan and mini skirt. Walking hand-in-hand, they showcased their stylish look.
The Sun Valley Conference, often dubbed the “summer camp for billionaires,” is a hotspot for media, finance, technology, and political elites. Other attendees include Diane Von Furstenberg, Josh Kushner, Karlie Kloss, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Bob Iger, Tim Cook, Sam Altman, and Bill Gates. This year, Warren Buffett and Elon Musk are notably absent.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sanchez highlighted the couple’s commitment to philanthropy. “Jeff is extremely focused, as you can imagine. We look for organizations addressing urgent issues with clear, impactful plans,” she explained.
