In 2024, the most high-profile wedding took place – the wedding of the heirs of Indian billionaires Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was watched by the whole world.

Anant and Radhika’s families did not skimp on this celebration. The guests were also generous with gifts. A detailed analysis of the amounts spent by the powers that be on the newlyweds has appeared online.
Attention! Bill Gates gave the couple a yacht worth 21.5 million dollars. Mark Zuckerberg bought Ambani and Merchant a private jet worth 36 million.
Against their background, Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world and the owner of Amazon, looked like a miser, having presented the newlyweds with only the keys to a Bugatti. The price of the car is 1.5 million dollars.
The groom’s friends also chose vehicles as gifts – a Mercedes and a sports bike worth almost a million dollars. Other guests also decided to replenish the family parking lot, presenting the keys to a Rolls-Royce for 2.4 million and a Lamborghini for half a million.
The Bachchan family knows that the Ambanis especially value emerald stones, so they presented a precious necklace worth 3.5 million. We will just remind you that the groom’s mother wore emeralds worth a total (!) of 50 million dollars at the wedding.
Anant and Radhika’s parents also did not skimp on gifts. In addition to the paid wedding, they bought them a mansion in Dubai for almost 80 million dollars.

After these expensive gifts became known, Internet users joked: “No one thought of giving a gym membership”, “Sometimes I think that’s why India is poor. This family robbed everything they had”, “And no one gave a set of bed linen…”, “I wonder if the bride and groom opened envelopes with gifts on their wedding night?”
Many expressed their indignation that the Ambani and Merchant families and their guests had completely lost touch with reality, because India is considered the poorest country: “Let them clean the Ganges, build a sewer system”, “Half of India could have been saved from poverty with this money”,
“How scary it is to live in a world where someone has everything, and someone has no food or water”, “The paradise of the rich was created from the hell of the poor”, “Some kind of senseless luxury. It loses the whole point”, “Earth, stop! India is in complete poverty, and they are throwing weddings for billions”.
