The video made the rounds on Twitter and the internet responded with comments such as, “Leo is about to lose his Prime membership.”

However, a video captured during the event and shared on social media prompted many to question whether the exchange between Sanchez and DiCaprio was flirtatious, as the TV reporter appears to have her arm briefly around the Titanic star – who she can be seen smiling at – while Bezos stands by her side.
The clip, which has been viewed more than 10m times since it was posted to Twitter by Barstool Sports and captioned: “Leo is Mr Steal Yo Girl,” prompted a response on Monday from Bezos, who tweeted a photo of himself alongside a danger sign warning of a “fatal drop” and beckoned DiCaprio over.
“Leo, come over here, I want to show you something… @LeoDiCaprio,” the 57-year-old billionaire captioned the photo, which sees him leaning over the sign that reads: “Danger! Steep cliff. Fatal drop.”
The Amazon founder’s reply has since been liked more than 26,000 times, with people amused by his response to the viral exchange.
“I can’t believe this site is free,” one person joked, while another said: “This is the content I’m on Twitter for.

In the video, a suave DiCaprio towers over Bezos and Sanchez, though it appears the actor was on some kind of elevated surface. DiCaprio is 5 ft. 11 in. tall, according to celebheights.com, while Bezos is 5 ft. 8 in.
Strangers on social media pounced on the video to mock Bezos — worth an estimated $202 billion.
Comedian The Kid Mero wrote on Twitter, “BEZOS LOOKIN LIKE LEO BOUTA SEND HIM TO THE BAR TO GET HIM AND SHORTY DRINKS.”
“Rule #1 is never introduce your girlfriend to Leo DiCaprio,” user @ericj_d responded.
User @MarchVeryOwn4 said, “Richest man in the world and ya girl still choosin.”
“Bezos really lift all those weights for nothing huh,” user @SB_Luncheon wrote, referring to Bezos’ bulking up in recent years.
Find you someone who looks at you the way Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend looks at Leo DiCaprio,” said @SwiftieatFifty.
Bezos and Sanchez, a TV host and helicopter pilot, had their relationship outed in January 2019, shortly after the surprise announcement that Bezos and his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Scott, were divorcing.

Jeff Bezos’ Girlfriend’s Reaction To Meeting Leonardo DiCaprio Is
Jeff Bezos playfully warns Leonardo DiCaprio after viral video with girlfriend Lauren Sánchez
Jeff Bezos has his eyes on one of Hollywood’s biggest heartthrobs.
The Amazon CEO, 57, playfully responded to a viral video of Leonardo DiCaprio hitting it off with his girlfriend Lauren Sánchez, 51, at the LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday.
In the clip, Sánchez flashes a big smile while chatting closely with DiCaprio, who co-chaired the event for the 10th consecutive year.
Bezos stood silently by her side, but the billionaire had a lot to say on Twitter after the clip was viewed over 12 million times.
“Leo, come over here, I want to show you something,” Bezos captioned a shirtless photo of himself standing over a sign that reads, “Danger! Steep cliff. Fatal drop.”
DiCaprio, 46, has been dating model and actress Camila Morrone, 24, since 2017. Morrone was also in attendance at the LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday.

The 10th annual LACMA Art+Film Gala honored Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg and American artists Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, who painted the official portraits of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, respectively, for the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
The night saw scores of A-list celebrities including Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Diane Keaton, Tracee Ellis Ross, Salma Hayek, Serena Williams and Dakota Johnson.
“Beautiful evening last night,” Sánchez wrote on Instagram, applauding the “amazing” hosts DiCaprio and Eva Chow. “An amazing event that will benefit important museum initiatives, exhibitions, and programming for years to come.”
Bezos’ and Sánchez’s relationship immediately became tabloid fodder,
with the National Enquirer publishing leaked texts Bezos had sent to Sánchez and saying it had access to racy photos of the then-Amazon CEO.
In a blog post, Bezos declared war on the National Enquirer and alleged the Saudi Arabian government was involved in the leaks. (The Saudi Arabian government denied any role in the situation and the Enquirer maintains that Sánchez’s brother Michael was the sole source of the leaks.)
Since then, Bezos and Sánchez have been in a relationship that’s taken them everywhere from India to luxury yachts in the Caribbean. The couple recently purchased a $78 million home in Hawaii and hope to “be a part of supporting the local community,” a report from Pacific Business News said.
News anchor Lauren Sanchez and the Amazon founder have been dating since 2019, after Bezos split from his wife of 25 years, Mackenzie Scott.
But DiCaprio has proven he is still one of Hollywood‘s biggest heartthrobs, with Sanchez visibly enamored after they met briefly at an event over the weekend.
Sanchez, 51, was attending 10th Annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art and Film Gala Presented By Gucci with her boyfriend—one of the richest men in the world—when they bumped into the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood actor on the red carpet.
The news anchor’s reaction to meeting DiCaprio has been a hit online and a clip posted to Twitter by @2cooI2blog has been viewed more than 8 million times at the time of publishing.
The bizarre and somewhat awkward moment has prompted a wave of memes as people joke about Sanchez thirsting over the actor while her partner is standing right beside her.
The LACMA event was a celebration of the night’s honorees, artists Amy Sherald and Kehinde Wiley and filmmaker Steven Spielberg, as well as the museum’s premiere of two major exhibitions, “The Obama Portraits Tour” and “Black American Portraits.”
