Who is Patrick Whitesell, ex-husband of Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez? His agency reps Hollywood actors like Ben Affleck and Amy Adams, and he’s enjoying the good life with his young wife

Over Christmas, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was rumoured to be marrying his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, in an extravagant US$600 million ceremony in Aspen, Colorado. While there was no truth to the story, the billionaire did take his future missus on holiday to the popular resort destination, per Page Six. The couple, who got engaged in May 2023, looked ready to ring in 2025 with flair.

Meanwhile, Sánchez’s ex-husband, 59-year-old Patrick Whitesell, who she cheated on with Bezos in 2018, was spotted revelling in a much simpler end-of-year break. Joined by his much younger wife of three years, Chilean-Australian model-turned-actress Pia Whitesell (previously Miller), 41, the Hollywood exec spent some down time on a luxurious yacht in Sydney Harbour. “Pat’s having the last laugh, 100 per cent,” an insider told Daily Mail Australia.

Patrick Whitesell’s net worth is estimated at US$450 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. He made his fortune as the executive chairman of Endeavor, a leading talent agency in Hollywood with a star-studded roster. Clients include Amy Adams, Ben Affleck, Steve Carell and Matt Damon, per Variety in April 2024. Whitesell is also reportedly looking to launch his own media company.
