Despite the online chatter, the event itself was undeniably extravagant. The three-day festivities, estimated to cost a staggering £120 million (approximately $152 million USD), saw Rihanna join a lineup of A-list guests, including tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, and global political figures. The celebration included performances by renowned artists like illusionist David Blaine and Bollywood actor Diljit Dosanjh, with catering provided by a team of over 100 chefs flown in specifically for the occasion.

The Ambani family is known for hosting lavish wedding celebrations, and this pre-wedding event was no exception. Anant Ambani is set to marry Radhika Merchant, the daughter of an industrialist, later this year. The couple's wedding is expected to be an even grander affair, potentially surpassing the $100 million spent on Anant's sister Isha's wedding in 2018, which featured a performance by Beyoncé.

While some questioned Rihanna's level of engagement during the performance, others defended the singer, pointing out the substantial fee she received and the unique nature of the event. Regardless of individual opinions, Rihanna's performance undoubtedly added another layer of grandeur to this already extravagant pre-wedding celebration.
