Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani made headlines in March with a lavish prenuptial bash for his son Anant, which included a star-studded guest list, a performance by Rihanna, and extravagant celebrations. The Ambani family, known for their opulent lifestyle, is set to host Anant’s wedding to Radhika Merchant next week, in what many are calling the wedding of the year.
Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, is one of the world’s wealthiest individuals with a net worth of $116 billion. The family’s extravagant lifestyle includes a private apartment building in Mumbai worth $1 billion, complete with helipads, a garage for 160 cars, and other luxurious amenities. Critics accuse Ambani of benefiting from political connections and crony capitalism in India.
The groom, Anant, is a graduate of Brown University and oversees the family’s renewable energy business. His bride, Radhika Merchant, works in her father’s pharmaceutical company and the couple met through mutual friends in 2017. The wedding festivities are expected to span several days, with traditional Hindu rituals and ceremonies leading up to the main ceremony on July 12, followed by a grand reception on July 14.
The Ambanis are known for their extravagant parties and are expected to host an array of celebrities, billionaires, and world leaders at the upcoming events. Previous celebrations for the family have included performances by Beyoncé, Rihanna, and other international stars. With the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant just around the corner, all eyes are on this high-profile nuptial event.
