Anant Ambani: Several of the most powerful individuals in the planet have traveled to Gujarat, India, to attend a wedding that the wealthiest man in Asia is hosting.
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Rihanna are among the attendees at Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani’s pre-wedding celebration for his son.
In July, Anant Ambani, 28, will wed Radhika Merchant.
Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are among the Bollywood celebrities present at the three-day festival in Jamnagar city.
According to Forbes, Mukesh Ambani, 66, has a net worth of $115 billion, making him the tenth richest man in the world at the moment. His father established the enormous conglomerate Reliance Industries in 1966. Its operations span a wide range of industries, including retail, financial services, telecom, and refining.
The youngest of his three children, Anant Ambani, is represented on the board of Reliance Industries.
Pop sensation Beyoncé performed during the pre-wedding celebrations for Mr. Ambani’s daughter, Isha Ambani, in Udaipur city in 2018. Among the attendees were former US Secretaries of State John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.
Isha’s wedding was reported by Bloomberg at the time to have cost $100 million, however a “person close to the family” refuted this, claiming the actual cost was closer to $15 million.
The Ambani family hosted a meal service for the Jamnagar locals earlier this week to kick off the current celebrations.
The pre-wedding celebration is being hosted in a township in Jamnagar close to Reliance’s main oil refinery, and about 1,200 people are attending.
According to Reuters, Indian billionaires Gautam Adani and Kumar Mangalam Birla are among the guests. A few days after his business announced a merger of its India assets with those of Reliance, Disney CEO Bob Iger is also anticipated to attend the celebration.
On a hectic trip through Asia, Zuckerberg arrived in Jamnagar on Thursday. After arriving in India a few days ago, Bill Gates uploaded a video of himself drinking tea prepared by a local vendor, which quickly gained popularity.
Cricket players Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Dwayne Bravo, as well as BP CEO Murray Auchincloss, were also seen arriving on Friday.
BlackRock co-founder Larry Fink, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and Ivanka Trump are among the other attendees anticipated for the Ambani event.
“The guest list appears to have more RSVPs from global corporate titans than the weddings of Mr. Ambani’s two older children in 2018 and 2019, underscoring Reliance’s growing clout and role as a conduit to the Indian economy for global tech, media, and energy giants,” according to Bloomberg.
Performances by illusionist David Blaine and singer Rihanna are among the available entertainment.
It is also anticipated that guests will visit a rescue center in Jamnagar, which is said to house around 2,000 animals. As per a planning document seen by Reuters, “jungle fever” is the required attire for this visit.
