Rihanna performed at the wedding of the son of Mukesh Ambani. Ambani has a net worth of $112 billion. So you know he was willing to drop a hefty amount for Rihanna’s services. TMZ reports that she was paid $6 million.
“RiRi strolled through the Jamnagar Airport in Western India Saturday and was clearly feeling pretty good about her performance. She was hired to play the pre-wedding party for the son of Mukesh Ambani, the industrialist worth $112 billion,” TMZ wrote.
“The real reason for her smile, though, is probably the direct deposit hitting her account. She was reportedly paid $6 million for the one-night gig. But, because the show was so long, there’s speculation she even got up to 8 figures! Good day’s work, if ya can get it… and Rihanna can.”
Rihanna Performs Lengthy Set For High-Profile Crowd
$6 million is a pretty heavy price tag. But the attendees of the wedding got their money’s worth. Rihanna reportedly performed 17 songs for a high-profile crowd. The attendees included Mark Zuckerberg, Ivanka Trump, and Bill Gates.
“Rihanna reportedly played 17 songs. On a stage fit for one of her stadium tours with all the lighting and special effects popping off around her as she belted out hits like “We Found Love” and “B**** Better Have My Money,” TMZ added.
“The 1,200 friends and family of Anant Ambani and his bride-to-be Radhika Merchant didn’t want to miss a second of the show as they had their phones out, recording the singer’s stunning set. The guests included scores of VIPs from around the world, including Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan, Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.”
Pop Star Staying Positive Ahead of ASAP Rocky’s Trial
Rihanna is currently in a relationship with rap star ASAP Rocky. They also have two kids together. Rocky was arrested in August 2022 after an altercation where he injured an “acquaintance’ with a firearm. Ahead of the trial, which began in January, one source told US Weekly, that Rihanna is “remaining calm” during the court proceedings.
“Rihanna is focusing on remaining calm as Rocky’s trial approaches next week. She knows the whole situation is out of her hands, and all she can do is be there to show support for Rocky,” the source told US Weekly.
“Although this is a stressful time, she’s been strong for the whole family and is holding it all together for the sake of her children and Rocky. They’ve made it a point to celebrate the holidays with their boys and loved ones including friends and family.
