Amazon's Jeff Bezos Checks Out His Company's 'Lord of the Rings' Premiere with Girlfriend Lauren Sanchez!

Jeff Bezos is supporting Amazon at the premiere of the company’s new Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!

The 58-year-old Amazon founder, and one of the richest people in the world, was joined by girlfriend Lauren Sanchez while attending the event on Monday (August 15) at the Culver Studios in Culver City, Calif.

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The show will premiere on September 2.
