Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding is a multi-day, mega-million affair — and super star-studded.

 

Kim Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra and more A-listers traveled to India to watch the son of Asia’s richest man tie the knot on Friday.

 

The couple, who got engaged in December 2023, have been celebrating for months, starting with a pre-wedding party in March attended by 1,200 guests, including Ivanka Trump and Mark Zuckerberg.

The groom’s father is billionaire Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, and his mother is philanthropist Nita Ambani.

 

Mukesh, 67, has already gifted the couple with an $80 million, 10-bedroom villa on Palm Jumeriah in Dubai, which boasts a private beach.

 

As for the bride, she is the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoons Viren Merchant and Shaila Merchant.

Anant and Radhika, both 29, are reportedly childhood friends whose friendship took a romantic turn during a 2017 drive with mutual pals.

 

They went public with their romance in 2018 following their respective graduations from Brown University and New York University (via Architectural Digest).

 

In December 2023, Anant proposed to his partner at the Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, and they celebrated the engagement with an extravagant party the following month.

In addition to hosting a mass wedding, also known as a “Samuh Vivah,” on July 2 in Palghar, Anant and Radhika enjoyed a night of music and dancing, or a “sangeet,” at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center three days later.

 

They were blessed by friends and family members during their private “haldi” ceremony on July 8.

 

Their main ceremony takes place on Friday, complete with a red carpet, followed by a “Shubh Ashirwad,” or a divine blessings ceremony, the next day, at the Ambani family’s residence, Antilia.

 

Sunday’s reception, or “Mangal Utsav,” will take place in the same 27-story skyscraper mansion.

 

How much does the wedding cost?

The Guardian broke down the potential cost of the luxe wedding, estimating it to be upwards of $600 million dollars.

 

If true, this whopping total would reportedly account for only half a percent of the Ambani family’s fortune.

 

Flying in Justin Bieber to sing at the couple’s “sangeet” allegedly cost $10 million alone, with Rihanna paid $6 million to perform at their March bash.
