    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.
