The words ‘million dollar wedding’ are often used proverbially, but in the case of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, you can take this quite literally. Their wedding cost a staggering 300 million and immediately became the wedding of this decade. What do we say? Of the century. Anant's father Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in India. And that makes you very rich.

The two have known each other since they were in diapers, but they did undergo an extensive birth horoscope check before even thinking about getting married. Anant is already incredibly wealthy with a net worth of 40 billion and a father with 115 billion, but Radhika is also not exactly from the streets. Her parents own Encore Healthcare in India and have about 90 million. A crumb compared to her husband's capital, but still an amount I wouldn't say no to.

Quite a few pre-parties were held to announce the wedding, and Rihanna was flown in for a hefty fee of 9 million.

Other artists who gathered their vacation money by performing for the couple included the Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber. Special gold cutlery was also made for the wedding, and three private jets were busy transporting everyone to and from the wedding venue. Oh, and by the way, on Friday, the center of Mumbai was closed off.

100,000 flowers were flown in from Thailand and 500 dancers were hired to liven up the party, and the bride wore dresses by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla and Manish Malhotra.

The wedding cost double that of the wedding of Bill Gates and Melinda French, which was already quite mind-blowing.

I am already looking forward to the renewal of the vows.
