Rihanna, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were among some of the world’s most famous people to attend a pre-wedding gala hosted by Asia’s richest man.

Mukesh Ambani organised the three-day jamboree in India for his son Anant Ambani, 28, who is set to marry his 29-year-old long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant in July.

Mr Ambani senior is the head of Indian conglomerate Reliance and has a net worth of $114bn (£90bn), according to Forbes.

He held the song and dance event at his resort in Gujarat state.

Unverified reports said Rihanna had been paid £5m to sing at the party – the first time she had performed in India.

Ivanka Trump was also in attendance alongside a number of Bollywood film stars such as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.

Around 1,200 guests enjoyed the festivities – the authorities said nearly 130 flights had landed at a local airport, which was temporarily granted international status for the event.

Anant is a director at Reliance’s new energy business and one of Mr Ambani’s three children who are the heirs to his empire.

His fiancée is a director at India’s Encore Healthcare.

The family also made headlines when Mr Ambani’s daughter Isha got married in 2018 in an occasion described by some as a mini-Davos summit.

Guests to the latest party enjoyed 500 dishes created by around 100 chefs and were pampered with hair styling and make-up artists.
