Billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man, and his wife Nita Ambani recently organized a mass wedding for over 50 underprivileged couples in Navi Mumbai as part of the pre-wedding celebrations of their youngest son, Anant Ambani. The Ambani family has been in the spotlight for their extravagant pre-wedding celebrations, including a three-day cruise from Italy to France featuring performances by renowned artists like David Guetta, Katy Perry, and Pitbull. The main wedding ceremony between Anant and his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant is scheduled for July 12, followed by a grand reception on July 14.
With a massive conglomerate and a net worth of $116 billion, Mukesh Ambani is the 9th richest person in the world and the richest in Asia. Critics argue that his company, Reliance Industries, has been favored due to political connections, allowing for its success. The Ambani family’s opulent lifestyle includes a private apartment building worth $1 billion in Mumbai, known as Antila, which boasts luxuries like helipads, a garage with 160 cars, a private movie theater, and more.
Anant, who has a bachelor’s degree from Brown University, oversees the conglomerate’s renewable energy expansion and runs an animal rescue center in Gujarat. Radhika Merchant, the bride, is the daughter of a pharmaceutical tycoon and the marketing director for his company. The upcoming wedding festivities are expected to be star-studded, with performances by Bollywood celebrities and international stars like Justin Bieber. This event continues the Ambani family’s tradition of extravagant celebrations, having made headlines in the past for hosting events with guests ranging from world leaders to pop icons like Beyoncé.
