The extravagant affair, hosted at a lavish hotel in Jamnagar, boasted a jaw-dropping price tag of £120 million, making it a soirée fit for a billionaire prince.
Rihanna packed money from India
As videos surfaced of Rihanna belting out her hits amidst a sea of dancers and lights, the internet erupted with speculation over the cynical song choices given the occasion. From Kanye West’s “Gold Digger” to Abba’s “Money. Money, Money” the playlist raised more than a few heckles considering the context of the event.
But for ‘Diamonds’ singer, Rihanna, no controversy could overshadow the allure of a hefty paycheck and the chance to rub elbows with the elite. With her partner, US rapper ASAP Rocky, by her side, the pop icon reportedly dazzled guests with a 90-minute set that left wallets lighter and heads spinning.
And while Mukesh Ambani’s pockets may have taken a hit, the billionaire mogul hardly blinked at the expense. With a reported net worth of £90 billion, Ambani’s empire of energy, gas, and telecommunications businesses ensures that even the most extravagant parties are but a drop in the bucket.

As whispers circulate of an even grander celebration in July for Anant Ambani’s impending nuptials, it’s clear that for the Ambani family, money is no object when it comes to throwing a party fit for royalty. And with A-list guests ranging from Ivanka Trump to Mark Zuckerberg, the allure of an Ambani extravaganza is enough to entice even the most jaded of partygoers.
Meanwhile, Rihanna’s bank account continues to swell, solidifying her status as one of the world’s wealthiest women despite her musical hiatus. And as she jets off to her next glamorous engagement, one thing remains certain: when Rihanna performs, no price is too high for her adoring fans.
