Global superstar Rihanna illuminated the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, with a performance that reportedly came with a hefty price tag of over $6 million. The event, part of a lavish multi-day celebration held in Jamnagar, India, showcased the Barbadian singer’s first significant musical appearance in years, captivating a massive audience of nearly 1,200 guests with hits like “Pour It Up” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.”
Mukesh Ambani, the magnate behind this grand affair, is ranked as the 9th wealthiest person globally by Forbes. The inclusion of Rihanna, who has transitioned from music to build her own billion-dollar empire, added unparalleled glamour to the celebrations. Despite stepping back from the music scene after her 2016 album “Anti,” Rihanna’s return to the stage at the Super Bowl LVII halftime show in 2023 and her recent live performance in India underscore her enduring appeal and versatility as an artist.
The star-studded guest list boasted not only business magnates like META’s Mark Zuckerberg and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates but also luminaries from the entertainment and political realms, including Ivanka Trump and Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan. Rihanna’s dazzling performance at the Ambani wedding festivities highlights the global intersection of entertainment, business, and high-profile social events.
