Billionaire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant tied the knot over the weekend – and no penny was spared for the youngest Ambani heir's lavish wedding.
The couple tied the knot in a glamorous three-day celebration in Mumbai, India, where celebrities and political leaders attended the lavish event. The wedding comes after months of lavish pre-wedding events that saw performances by Rihanna, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber.
A calculation made by "The Guardian" estimated that the actual cost of the wedding, which includes the pre-wedding festivities and paying for the pop stars' performances, is $600 million.
The hefty price tag includes the couple's pre-wedding party at the lavish Ambani estate in Gujarat, where they kicked off the wedding celebrations. Rihanna was paid $6 million to perform the night, according to Forbes.
The celebration also included a jungle-themed party and light show from 5,500 drones. Several high-profile and wealthy figures attended the event, including Ivanka Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and members of Bhutan's royal family.
Ambani and Merchant also took a ship for a pre-wedding cruise around Europe in May. The couple and their guests make several stops along European cities such as Rome, Cannes in France and Portofino, Italy - for special events, according to The Sunday Times. The newspaper estimated that the cruise and the festivities cost another $150 million.
