Tech executives including Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates attended a lavish, three day, pre-wedding celebration for the son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man, over the weekend.
The bash was held to celebrate the upcoming marriage of Anant Ambani, the youngest of Mukesh Ambani’s sons, to Radhika Merchant, scheduled for later this year.
Mukesh Ambani is the world’s ninth-richest person with a net worth of $117.8 billion, according to Forbes. He is the chairman of Reliance Industries
, a conglomerate that spans everything from oil and gas to telecommunications.
The three-day pre-wedding party kicked off on Friday with a performance from U.S. megastar Rihanna. Meta
Zuckerberg’s attendance makes sense. In 2020, Facebook invested $5.7 billion in Jio Platforms Limited, a company owned by Reliance Industries. In 2022, Meta released a feature to allow users to browse and buy products on JioMart, a grocery app, inside of WhatsApp.
Meanwhile, Microsoft and some of Reliance Industries’ other businesses have collaborations.
