Ambani Wedding
One Big Headline
Celebrities, politicians, and other public figures are gathering in India this weekend for what is considered the year's most lavish wedding event. Anant Ambani (the youngest son of Asia's richest person, Mukesh Ambani) and Radhika Merchant (the daughter of a billionaire pharmaceutical tycoon) tied the knot in India Friday as part of four-day-long celebrations.
The wedding—estimated to have cost as much as $300M alone—comes after a marathon of prewedding festivities that first kicked off in March. Celebrity performances have included Rihanna, Katy Perry, Pitbull, Justin Bieber, The Backstreet Boys, and opera singer Andrea Bocelli. The price tag for the overall monthslong wedding celebrations is seen as a drop in the bucket for Mukesh Ambani, who is among the top 12 richest people in the world and is estimated to have a net worth of $123B.
The guests in attendance this weekend include John Cena, Mark Zuckerberg, Kim Kardashian, and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Now that I see some of the invited guests who are going to attend I am rather glad that I sent my regrets.
