Mum's the Word on Exact Cost

Billionaire heir Anant Ambani and his longtime girlfriend Radhika Merchant are set to tie the knot later this month in a lavish ceremony that has been widely described as the priciest wedding of the century. The Ambani family has remained tight-lipped about the total cost of the extravaganza, but an event management owner estimated to the BBC that it will be at least 132 million. The BBC also estimates that the total cost could be anywhere between 11 billion to 13 billion rupees (132 million to 156 million).

Son of Megacompany Chairman

Anant Ambani is the son of Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of the megacompany Reliance Industries. Forbes estimates that Mukesh Ambani's net worth is around 96.6 billion.
