5 Billionaires to Send Your Wedding Invitation To
Five billionaires you can mail a spare wedding invitation to, with sourced business or foundation addresses and honest odds of a reply.
Updated
You can mail a spare wedding invitation to Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, or Sara Blakely through a public business or foundation address, and each one is listed below with its source. A reply is very unlikely, so this is a stamp spent on a good story rather than a plan for free stuff. If you are hoping for a response, the companies couples have heard back from are a better bet.
Why People Send Wedding Invitations to Billionaires
It is the same joke as mailing one to a favorite brand: it costs a stamp, it makes a great story at the rehearsal dinner, and there is a tiny chance something fun comes back. Most high-profile billionaires have offices or foundation staff who sort their mail, so your invitation will land somewhere real even if nobody writes back.
Be clear-eyed about the odds. We could not find a single traceable report of any billionaire on this list replying to a stranger’s wedding invitation.
Before You Send Anything
A few ground rules keep this playful instead of awkward.
- Only use public business or foundation addresses. Every address below comes from a public filing, registry, or directory, and none is a home address. Please skip any list that offers one.
- Leave your registry out. Send the invitation and, if you like, a two-line note. A registry link turns a fun gesture into an ask.
- Share only what you would put on a postcard. A stranger’s office will open this, so a return address is plenty.
- Expect nothing. If something does come back, frame it.
5 Billionaires You Can Mail an Invitation To
Each entry shows the address and where we found it. Offices move, so check the source before you mail.
Bill Gates: Gates Foundation
The Gates Foundation is the most practical route to anything Bill Gates-related. Its own contact page steers general messages to an online form, so the postal box below is the mailing option.
Mailing Address:
Gates Foundation
PO Box 23350
Seattle, WA 98102

Oprah Winfrey: Harpo Productions
Harpo Productions and OWN moved to The Lot at Formosa in West Hollywood in the mid-2010s. We could not find a current official page listing a mailing address for Harpo, so treat this as the least certain address on the list.
Mailing Address:
Harpo Productions
1041 N. Formosa Ave.
West Hollywood, CA 90046
Source: The Hollywood Reporter on the move, and the lot’s own site at thelotatformosa.com.
Warren Buffett: Berkshire Hathaway
Buffett’s company is famously lean, and its headquarters address is about as official as an address gets: it is printed on the cover of Berkshire Hathaway’s annual report to the SEC.
Mailing Address:
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
3555 Farnam Street
Omaha, NE 68131
Source: Berkshire Hathaway’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Richard Branson: Virgin Group
Branson’s brand is built on being playful, so a wedding invitation is at least on theme. Virgin moved its registered office in 2024, and older lists still show the previous Harrow Road address.
Mailing Address:
Virgin Group
Whitfield Studios
50a Charlotte Street
London W1T 2NS
United Kingdom

Sara Blakely: Spanx
Sara Blakely founded Spanx and appears on Forbes’ 2026 list of America’s richest self-made women. She kept a stake in the company after its 2021 deal with Blackstone, so Spanx headquarters in Atlanta is the natural place to send it.
Mailing Address:
Spanx, Inc.
3035 Peachtree Road NE
Atlanta, GA 30305
Source: the company’s Better Business Bureau listing. Spanx does not publish a mailing address on its own site.
What Actually Happens After You Send It
Most of the time, nothing. These offices receive huge volumes of mail, and a stranger’s invitation gets sorted with the rest.
Mark Cuban put it bluntly when Town & Country asked about the trend: he gets hundreds of wedding invitations from strangers, and he does not send anything back. That is why he is not on this list. Assume the same from everyone here, and any reply is a genuine surprise.
The real win is the story itself. Telling your friends you invited Warren Buffett is entertaining whether or not he writes back.
What to Do With Extra Invitations Instead
Not into the billionaire experiment? Totally fair. Your extras can still go somewhere good.
- Send a few to favorite brands. Couples have reported coupons, stickers, and small gifts from companies like Chick-fil-A and YETI, and our list of companies to send wedding invites to shows which reports are traceable and where to mail each one.
- Keep them as keepsakes. Set aside clean copies for your scrapbook, your parents, and your photographer.
- Frame one. A shadow box with the invitation, your vows, and a few dried flowers makes a lovely first-anniversary gift.
- Give them to your wedding party. Bridesmaids and groomsmen often love a copy of their own, especially of a custom design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Using public business or foundation addresses, you can mail a wedding invitation to Bill Gates (Gates Foundation), Oprah Winfrey (Harpo Productions), Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway), Richard Branson (Virgin Group), and Sara Blakely (Spanx). Always use the public business address, never a personal or home one.
Not really. It is the same lighthearted idea as mailing an invitation to a favorite brand. It costs a stamp, there are no real stakes, and it makes a fun story. Treat it as a joke you are in on, not a serious ask.
Almost certainly not. We found no traceable report of any billionaire on this list replying to a stranger's wedding invitation, and Mark Cuban has said publicly that he receives hundreds of them and does not send anything back. Treat any reply as a surprise bonus.
We left Mark Cuban off this list because we could not verify a current public mailing address for him, and he has said he does not respond to the wedding invitations he receives from strangers.
No. Send the invitation itself, and a short, warm note if you like, but leave out any registry link or gift expectations. Including one turns a charming gesture into a presumptuous one.
Only when you use a public business, headquarters, or foundation address, which is what every address on this list is. Never try to find or use someone's home address, as that crosses the line from playful to invasive.
