The burning question is – How much did Ambani wedding cost?
The culmination of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations was a grand affair, largely discussed across social media platforms. The Ambani family hosted an opulent three-day event from March 1-3 in Jamnagar, Gujarat, graced by the presence of Bollywood personalities, sports icons, and business tycoons. The focal point of curiosity revolved around the extravagant expenditure incurred by the Ambanis for these pre-wedding rituals, and we bring forth the intricate details for your perusal.
According to reports, the Ambanis lavishly spent a staggering £120 million (approximately Rs 1259 crore) on the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, as cited by Daily Mail. While this figure might appear exorbitant to the common populace, it barely scratches the surface of the wealth possessed by Asia’s richest individual, boasting a real-time net worth of $117.7 billion (approximately Rs 9.7 lakh crore).
As per reports from the Daily Mail, the catering contract alone incurred an astounding £20 million (approximately Rs 210 crore) for the Ambanis. Rihanna, who delivered a captivating performance, purportedly received a payment of $8-9 million (approximately Rs 66-74 crore), according to India Today.
The guest roster for the three-day pre-wedding ceremonies boasted prominent personalities like Shah Rukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Zuckerberg, and others. These guests not only flew in private jets but were also chauffeured to and from the airport in luxury vehicles such as Rolls-Royce cars. The Ambani family left no stone unturned in the decoration, bringing to life themes like “An Evening in Everland” and “A Walk on the Wildside”.
The family adorned themselves in both international and domestic designer labels, including Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, Raghavendra Rathore, Ashish Gupta, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and more.
Now, the pressing question arises: Were the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant more extravagant than Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s wedding? While the former incurred costs exceeding Rs 1200 crore, the latter’s wedding in 2018 saw the Ambanis splurging a staggering $100 million (approximately Rs 828 crore).
Considered one of the world’s most opulent weddings, Isha and Anand’s grand Mumbai wedding featured a mesmerizing performance by pop icon Beyoncé, reportedly paid between $4-6 million (approximately Rs 33-49 crore).
With the conclusion of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s ultra-luxurious pre-wedding celebrations, all eyes are now set on their grand Indian wedding, scheduled for July this year.
