Megyn Kelly Slams 'Tone-Deaf' Billionaires Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez for Bragging About Happiness Amid Rising Inflation Prices

Megyn Kelly is not a fan of billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez.

The journalist, 55, spoke about the couple on a recent episode of her eponymous show, slamming them for bragging about being happy while prices continue to rise for the average American.

The Amazon founder, 62, and the former news reporter, 56, were profiled for the New York Times earlier this month, with Kelly calling it "the most absurd piece of reading I've had to do in the past six months."

"The message of this piece is that she has made it okay for billionaires to be billionaires again," she said on The Megyn Kelly Show. "That they should just be happy, enjoy life, have fun, and remember to be grateful, and express their gratitude in the mornings… I threw up in my mouth."

"You tell me — could you find something more tone deaf for the times when people are struggling with inflation?" the former Fox News host added.

Kelly further ripped into Sánchez, noting the public has "seen you on your yacht with a bubble bath foaming out of your hot tub, which is the size of an Olympic swimming pool in the Mediterranean."

"We get it. Most of us could never dream of living like that. And by the way, wouldn't even if we had your husband's – not your – billions," she said.

Kelly further called Sánchez a "gold digger," accusing her of always "upgrading to a richer, more well-known man, until she found one of the richest men in the world."

"You better watch it, Jeff Bezos, because if she meets Elon Musk, he's higher than you on the totem pole," she joked.

Bezos and Sánchez became in engaged in 2023 and tied the knot during a glamorous wedding in Venice, Italy, in June 2025.

A gaggle of A-list celebrity pals attend the lavish bash, including Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Usher, Tommy Hilfiger and many more.

Bezos and Sánchez will be conquering the fashion world next, as they are the honorary co-chairs of the 2026 Met Gala.

The duo was announced as the lead sponsors of the event last November, with the party set to take place at the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 4.

This year's gala theme is "Costume Art" and will showcase the idea of fashion as art. The two will join co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour.
