Bezos, 57, announced in early February that he will step down as Amazon’s CEO as the company announced record profits.
Amazon said that Andy Jassy will replace Bezos as CEO during the third quarter of this year.
The firm is now worth an eye-watering $1.6trillion, thanks in part to successful trade during coronavirus lockdowns.
Lauren Sanchez is an Emmy Award winning American news anchor and the girlfriend of departing Amazon boss Jeff Bezos.
The 51-year-old and Bezos have weathered a tumultuous two years since they were outed as a couple.
Lauren and Jeff Bezos are thought to have been having a fling since January 2018 and a photo emerged from as far back as April 2018 of them enjoying a meal together.

It was claimed on January 10, 2019 that billionaire Bezos had been secretly seeing Sanchez.
The affair came to light when Bezos accused the National Enquirer of blackmailing him in an infamous blog post in February 2019.
It is also believed Bezos made his divorce announcement from wife MacKenzie believing that photos of himself and Sanchez could soon be made public.
In February 2019, Bezos outed them in response to “blackmail” from The National Enquirer.
They have been publicly dating since Bezos’ divorce was finalised in April 2019.
Since going public, the couple were photographed courtside at Wimbledon and relaxing on a luxury yacht off French-speaking Caribbean island St. Barths.

In December 2019, Bezos is reported to have thrown Sanchez a glitzy 50th birthday party involving a private dinner as well as a party with guests including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and Timothée Chalamet.
Bezos has decided to step down as Amazon’s boss almost three decades after he founded the company back in 1994.
He turned it from an online bookstore into the world’s largest online retailer.
On February 2, 2021, the shock announcement was made that after amassing billions during the coronavirus pandemic, Bezos will be replaced by Andy Jassy later this year.
It will free up some of his time for other things – like enjoying plush hols with his girlfriend.
Bezos wrote: “Being the CEO of Amazon is a deep responsibility, and it’s consuming.

“When you have a responsibility like that, it’s hard to put attention on anything else.”
Bezos has properties across the US including several in some of the most expensive cities.
The Amazon CEO has an estimated net worth of $195billion, as the value of his company surged during the pandemic.
