Justin Bieber performed in India for a reported ten million dollars – in front of a billionaire couple who are about to get married.
Justin Bieber (30) made an appearance in India as a singer at a pre-wedding party. At the weekend, the star posted about his performance at a party for the Indian billionaire Anant Ambani (29) and his fiancée Radhika Merchant (29) in Mumbai.
Bieber shared a series of snaps of himself posing and chatting with the couple on the day of his performance. In a video from the show, the pop star – who wore a white jacket, black baggy pants and an upside-down baseball cap – held up his microphone to the numerous guests as they sang along to his song “Love Yourself.”
Another clip the singer posted shows him singing his hit “Where Are U Now.” In the footage, he once again holds out his microphone to a fan. “Let’s go, let’s go!” Bieber can be heard saying to the guest in the video. He also shared footage of himself singing “I’m the One” to a group of enthusiastic female guests, among other things. Justin Bieber also posted a series of snaps showing him behind the scenes at the event.
Groom’s father is the richest man in Asia
Anant is the youngest child of Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani (67), head of Reliance Industries. The company is active in various sectors from energy to textiles to telecommunications. According to Forbes, the 67-year-old company boss is the richest man in Asia with a fortune estimated at 123 billion dollars. The construction of the Ambanis’ 27-story house in Mumbai is said to have cost more than a billion dollars. It has already been listed by Forbes as the most expensive property in the world.
According to Indian media reports, the up to ten million dollars that Bieber is said to have received for his performance are unlikely to be significant. The Ambani family has been preparing for the wedding on July 12 for months. The bride, Radhika Merchant, also comes from a very wealthy business family.
In March, Rihanna (36) reportedly received $6 million to perform for the couple at a celebration also attended by Bill Gates (68) and Mark Zuckerberg (49). And in May, the Ambanis invited their relatives on a three-day cruise from Italy to France, which reportedly featured Katy Perry (39), Pitbull (43) and David Guetta (56).
Not the first mega wedding for the family
The Ambani family has apparently already gained experience hosting big stars. In 2018, according to media reports, Mukesh Ambani hosted a mega wedding for his daughter Isha (32), which was rumored to have cost around 100 million dollars. Beyoncé (42) is said to have performed at the time.
