Steve Jobs’ youngest daughter is now a married woman — and hosted a really expensive wedding, at that.
Eve Jobs married British Olympic equestrian Harry Charles within the small medieval parish church of St. Michael and All Angels in Great Tew, England, on Saturday, July 26. The couple then hosted a reception on the private members’ club and hotel Estelle Manor, where Sir Elton John reportedly performed for the newlyweds and their guests for a $1.3 million fee.
In response to U.K.’s The Times, all in all the marriage cost an estimated £5 million, or $6.7 million.
Guests at the marriage included former Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been friends with the bride’s mother, Laurene Powell Jobs, for greater than 20 years. Also in attendance was Bill and Melinda Gates’ daughter Jennifer Gates Nassar, chef Ruth Rogers and Bruce Springsteen’s daughter, Jessica Springsteen, who was also one in every of nine bridesmaids.
The bridesmaids wore satin crimson red gowns (that matched the five-foot tall balls of roses that appeared outside of the church). All of Estelle Manor’s 107 rooms were also booked by guests, while other friends stayed at Soho Farmhouse, where Meghan Markle held her Bachelorette party in 2018.
Eve, 27, an equestrian and model, and Harry, 26, who won a gold medal on the Paris Olympics last 12 months, began dating in 2022 and have become engaged last September. They each have famous parents as Eve’s dad Steve — who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011 at age 56 — was the cofounder of Apple, while the groom’s father is fellow equestrian Peter Charles, a former member of the British team that won gold on the 2012 London Olympics.
A source told the U.S. Sun last week that the nuptials can be a “society wedding like no other” and switch “rural Oxfordshire the wrong way up.”
“The sleepy village through which it’s happening looks like it’s turning right into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who appear like they work for the FBI,” the insider said of the extravagant event. “This can be a very quiet place not removed from the Cotswolds. Everyone seems to be used to tourists and famous faces, but that is something else.”

In response to The Times, the marriage’s locale is home to celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi and Simon Cowell and his fiancée, Lauren Silverman — who said that the realm appealed to Americans, including herself, because of its privacy.
While out for a motorbike ride on Saturday, Cowell, 65, congratulated the newlyweds, telling The Times, “I wish them the perfect of luck — it’s a stupendous place for it.”
Eve is the youngest daughter of Steve and Laurene, who also share son Reed, 33, and daughter Erin, 29. (Steve also has a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, with ex Chrisann Brennan.) The youngsters were raised in Palo Alto, California, and can reportedly receive little to no inheritance.
After her husband’s death, Laurene told the Latest York Times in 2020 that Steve “didn’t care in regards to the accumulation of wealth” and she or he has “dedicated my life to doing the easiest I can to distribute it effectively, in ways in which lift up individuals and communities in a sustainable way.”
“I’m not all in favour of legacy wealth constructing, and my children know that,” she added. “Steve wasn’t all in favour of that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.”
