The stars aligned for what some call the “wedding of the century.”
On July 12, after months of anticipation (and lots of parties), Anant Ambani, 29-year-old heir and youngest son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, married 29-year-old Radhika Merchant, daughter of pharmaceutical entrepreneurs Viren and Shaila Merchant. .
The couple is honoring their nuptials with a multi-day celebration, rumors of cost somewhere between $150 million and about half a billion dollars. The four-day event, which began on Friday, was attended by invited guests kim kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, John Cena and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, as well as guests Drake and David Beckham – all of whom would have received invitations made of silver and gold.
The wedding ceremony was held at the Jio World Convention Center in Mumbai. A divine blessing ceremony took place on Saturday, followed by a grand reception planned on Sunday to conclude the newlyweds’ celebrations.
Their wedding week was just one of many times the couple celebrated their love. Earlier this month, Justin Bieber performed a concert — and reportedly received a $10 million salary for it — in honor of his planned nuptials. In May, the Ambani family hosted a pre-wedding cruise in the Mediterranean, with 800 celebrity guests and entertainment from the Backstreet Boys and Katy Perry. Rihanna also sang for the pair during her engagement in March, as part of a three-day event attended by 1,200 guests, which earned her a performance fee speculated to be between $5 million and $9 million.
