When the last single child of Asia’s richest man married the daughter of hyper-wealthy pharmaceutical company founders, it was always going to be extravagant. A contender, even, for the most lavish wedding do the world has ever seen.
Multi-day celebrations are not uncommon when it comes to Indian weddings. But when you are the last unmarried child of Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man with a reported fortune of $US117 billion , and set to wed the daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant, themselves multibillionaire founders of pharmaceutical firm Encore Healthcare, things are considerably more extravagant. Cue a multi-day party with A-list celebs and rock superstar entertainers.
Ivanka Trump, centre, and husband Jared Kushner, right, embraced a regal look at the pre-wedding bash of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s son Anant Ambani in Jamnagar, India.The three-day celebration for 1200 guests is estimated to have cost around $US100 million. It included more than 500 dishes prepared by 100 chefs, an animal parade and performances from Rihanna .
The scale of the event was such that the local airport, which usually receives around 10 flights a day, saw 130 fly in for the occasion; the air fleet ferried in not just guests, but performers, makeup artists, hair stylists, chefs – you name it. Those invited were required to go all-out – there was no chance of upstaging the host family given the mother of the groom was sporting an emerald the size of a saucer.
