Along with a galaxy of Bollywood stars and international icons from Shah Rukh Khan to Rihanna, Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar is also hosting some of the world’s top billionaires.
The three-day event, which is taking place between 1 – 3 March, has among its guest list Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Indian billionaires Gautam Adani and Kumar Mangalam Birla. While Gates arrived in India a few days early and reportedly delighted in some roadside chai by Dolly Chaiwala, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were spotted at the Jamnagar airport on Thursday.
The celebration for the youngest son of India’s richest man — Mukesh Ambani — was bound to be a spectacle, considering the former’s staggering net worth of $116.3 billion (Rs 9 lakh crore). Even if you take the Reliance Industries Chairman’s valuation out of the mix, the combined net worth of the other billionaires present at his son’s pre-wedding bash is larger than the GDP of some countries in the world.
