Ever wondered what it takes to organise one of the most lavish weddings in the world? The marriage of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant provides a glimpse into unparalleled luxury and grandeur. But just how much did this monumental celebration cost?
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man and chairman of Reliance Industries, married Radhika Merchant on July 12, 2024. Their wedding, which began with an engagement in Nathdwara in December last year, became a global sensation. The culmination of this grand affair was held at the Jio Convention Center, leaving the world in admiration of its magnificence.
This wedding wasn't just about the ceremony; it was a seven-month-long celebration. Two pre-wedding functions set the stage for the main event, attracting celebrities and business magnates from around the world. Rihanna and Justin Bieber headlined the pre-wedding festivities, charging a staggering Rs 74 crore and Rs 84 crore, respectively, for their performances. The pre-wedding functions alone sparked curiosity about the total expenditure.
Reports indicate that Mukesh Ambani spared no expense, with the entire celebration costing an estimated Rs 5000 crore. The first pre-wedding function in March, featuring stars like Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, set the tone with an expenditure of Rs 1000 crore. This lavish event saw the arrival of around 350 private planes in Jamnagar, a testament to its grandeur.
The second pre-wedding party, held on a cruise from May 28 to June 1, was equally spectacular. The Ambani family ensured their VIP guests experienced the height of luxury, booking 10 charter flights for their convenience. This event alone cost an additional Rs 500 crore, showcasing the family's dedication to creating an unforgettable experience.
In total, Mukesh Ambani spent an astounding Rs 6500 crore on his son's wedding. While this sum may seem astronomical, it's a drop in the ocean for a man whose net worth recently soared to $121 billion. The Ambani-Merchant wedding will be remembered not just for its lavishness but also for setting new benchmarks in the world of lavish celebrations.
