Anant Ambani, the 29-year-old Indian billionaire, recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant in a lavish wedding celebration that has captured the attention of people worldwide. The extravagant festivities began with an engagement party in January, followed by a star-studded pre-wedding bash two months later, graced by the presence of tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.
The couple spared no expense in their celebrations, hiring A-list performers such as Rihanna, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli, and Justin Bieber for various events leading up to the wedding. The wedding itself was a grand affair, with reports of 100 private planes being used to transport guests to Mumbai for the ceremony.
Anant Ambani is the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man with a net worth exceeding $123 billion. Mukesh is the head of Reliance Industries Limited, a multinational conglomerate founded by his father Dhirubhai Ambani in 1958. Under Mukesh's leadership, Reliance has diversified into various sectors including retail, renewable energy, and telecommunications, solidifying its position as a global powerhouse.
Radhika Merchant, Anant's wife, also hails from a wealthy background as the daughter of Viren Merchant, CEO of Encore Healthcare. The couple, who were childhood friends, got engaged last year and recently exchanged vows in a ceremony that reportedly cost a staggering $600 million.
The guest list for the wedding included former world leaders, celebrities, tech tycoons, and Bollywood stars, making it a truly star-studded affair. Notable attendees included Kim Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nick Jonas, John Cena, and many others.
The Ambani wedding has not only been a celebration of love but also a showcase of opulence and extravagance, reflecting the Ambani family's status as one of the most influential and affluent families in India.
