The Amazon founder and Lauren Sánchez are due to tie the knot next week - as activists say Venice is being turned into an "asset" for the rich and famous.
Theoretically, let’s say, bozo the clown is sitting in a gondola floating through Venice, and someone on the rooftop above has a large steel net and at each corner is a very heavy weight.
How heavy would those weights need to be when the net is thrown over the canal, to drag the gondola and occupant to the bottom of the canal?
Assuming the chains are thrown as to divide the weight evenly across the gondola, guessing the combined weight would need to exceed the total weight capacity of the gondola.
Google tells me gondolas have a weight limit of 6 adults weighing 105kg each, guessing Bezos and his inflatable sex doll fiancee weigh a bit less than that so you’d need probably 450kg worth of weights to drag the whole thing down.
However, being more strategic, you could probably be more efficient on weight if you were to put most of the weight on one side so as to drag just one end of the gondola into the water. The Billionaires fall in and get dragged under by the weight, the gondolier may have a chance to escape.

It’s very likely that a gondola can actually hold double the weight it is rated for.
