Sting wows the crowd at Miami Beach equestrian bash — including Jeff Bezos and his dad
Jeff Bezos traded rockets for horses Thursday night.
A few days after launching six women into space (including his fiancée Lauren Sanchez), the Amazon founder was back home in party mode.
Bezos reportedly had a different kind of blast at the kickoff of the Global Champions Arabians Tour (GCAT, for those in the know) — billed as the “world’s most prestigious Arabian horse championship series.”
The scene: The sands of Miami Beach, which were transformed into a luxurious playground/open air concert hall for the rich and famous. The tony crowd included power players, businesspeople and a bunch of “Real Housewives of Miami” stars.
The (V)VIPs, who nibbled on “elevated bites” from Major Food Group, were first treated to a performance by DJ Khaled. The local rapper ended up playing hype man for one of the most famous musicians in the world — that would be Sting.
The 17-time Grammy winner wowed guests belting out such iconic hits as “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic,” “Roxanne,” “Message in a Bottle” and “Every Breath You Take.” The former Police frontman, who looks incredible for 73, didn’t leave them speechless, though.
Midway through his 45-minute set, we were told Sting invited people in the audience to join him in song.
As Sting jammed, Bezos and his father Miguel Bezos (who invested $245,573 to help start up Amazon back in 1995), got as close to the stage as possible, rocking out to the retro classics.
“Jeff and his dad were adorable,” an onlooker told Miami.com. “Truly enjoying the show.”
Qatar Airways’ exclusive horse show, which runs through Saturday on 35th and Collins Avenue, is, unfortunately, sold out. But wannabe spectators can watch elite Arabian horses and their expert handlers in action via livestream at https://gcarabianstour.com.
