One commentator wrote: “Oh my God. The resemblance is uncanny. Although Pitbull, aka Mr Worldwide wore it better.”

Another said: “I swear I thought that was Pitbull.”

Many added their own comparisons with some saying they thought he looked like Paul Shaffer, the Canadian singer.

Joining Bezos and Sanchez for the party was his younger brother Mark along with Lauren‘s son Nikko and former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.

Bezos told his Instagram followers he had enjoyed a “crazy disco party” with his family and said the New Year was a time for “personal growth”.

He wrote: “We had so much fun last night celebrating with a crazy disco party with family, but the new year is also a great time to take stock and focus on personal growth, renewal, rebirth, and paying careful attention to each moment of your life. The good and the bad. All of it. Celebrate and grow.”

His girlfriend added her own note to the post, writing: “I love you baby. For every reason and no reason.”

Do you see the resemblance?

Bezos is the second wealthiest man in the world.

For the party, the group hired the 88 foot luxury yacht Tender To which was built in 2005 and can sleep up to seven people in a master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins.

The cost to charter it for a week varies from US$38,000 to $42,000 (A$52,000 — $57,000), plus expenses.

Bezos is currently estimated to be the world’s second richest man in the world and worth US$210 billion (A$289 billion).

Tesla owner Elon Musk recently knocked him off the top spot with a fortune said to be worth US$276.2 billion (A$379 billion).

Since stepping down as the boss of the online retailer in July, Bezos has made a number of sizeable donations.

He donated $100 million to the Obama Foundation just before Thanksgiving, thought to be the largest ever amount given to the charity.
