The son of India's richest man, Anant Ambani, married his partner Radhika Merchant in a grand ceremony attended by A-list stars such as Justin Bieber, Priyanka Chopra, and former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt. Mukesh Ambani, the father of the groom and chairman of Reliance Industries, spared no expense by hiring 100 planes to fly guests to the celebration, which included figures like Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Tony Blair, and John Cena. The estimated cost of the wedding festivities was between $600 million to $750 million, a fraction of the Ambani family's massive net worth. Critics of Ambani have pointed out his close connections to political leaders and his company's benefits from such alliances. The lavish wedding events also included performances by Rihanna and luxury cruises around Europe for the guests.
