-
Groom Anant Ambani is son of "Asia's richest man."
Bride Radhika Merchant is daughter of pharmaceutical tycoon.Congratulations to the new couple!
In context, the average (not "median") wedding in India costs 33,000 USD. This one, once all the "pre-wedding" parties are include, is estimated to have cost 600 million USD.
One pre-wedding get-together in March had a guestlist of 1,200 that included Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates and Google's parent company, Alphabet's CEO, Sundar Pichai.
A nearby military airfield had to be upgraded and granted temporary international status to handle the incoming fleet of private jets.
I wonder if Kamala was invited.
