For his daughter’s wedding in 2018, Mukesh is said to have paid Beyoncé, 42, $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

While MailOnline has been told that Rihanna recently raked in £5million ($6.33million) for her performance at another pre-wedding celebration for Anant and Radhika in March.
Now the Sun reports that Katy will be doing her own set for the happy couple, who have once again splashed out millions ahead of their actual wedding in July.
The Firework singer will allegedly be singing at a stop-off for a cruise around Europe for the bride and groom and 800 guests.
A source told to the publication: ‘They have invited 800 guests who are currently on a space-themed cruise around Europe, with stops in Barcelona and Genoa.
‘It will arrive in Cannes on Friday for the big bash, which will be at a £40million estate. The party itself will only last five hours but Katy will headline it, with a DJ also being flown in as part of the top-tier entertainment.
‘Afterwards, guests will watch a huge fireworks display from a small armada of ships waiting in the Bay of Cannes. When they say there’s been no expense spared, they really mean it.’
The previous pre-wedding blowout cost a staggering £120million, sources told MailOnline, in stark contrast to the nearby slums just a stone’s throw away where some of the world’s poorest work up to 17 hours for just $5 a day.

The We Found Love hitmaker sang impressive 19 set list of some of her biggest hits including B*** Better Have My Money, Work, All Of The Lights, and lastly Diamonds.
During the show she said: ‘Thanks to the Ambani family, I’m here tonight in honor of Anant and Radhika. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations!’
Guests were housed in specially arranged five-star facilities, with hundreds of staff on hand to look after them, with a series of penthouses and villas renovated for the occasion.
More than 100 chefs were flown in to cater for them and prepared 500 dishes over the three days, ranging from traditional India food to Mexican, Chinese and European cuisine.
And among the high-profile guests in attendance at the three-day celebration, were global tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, pop icons and politicians, including Karlie Kloss, Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates, Robert Iger and Mark Zuckerberg.
And sources close to the Ambanis told MailOnline that the figure spent on the nuptials will ‘significantly increase’ with millions more set to be spent in July, when the actual ceremony takes place in Mumbai.
Katy’s latest gig comes off the heels of her mysterious decision to update her social media profile icons, Spotify page, and website, sending fans wild by speculating she is teasing new music.

Her profile picture across social media platforms has been updated to her initials ‘KP’ in a sleek silver font, on top of a bright red background.
Meanwhile, her X (formerly Twitter) and Spotify headers are the same colour, with what looks like bubbles floating up the screen.
And when her old music is played on the streaming website, the new logo begins spinning around in the background.
The American Idol judge is rumored to be making a musical comeback, which Deino calls the ‘biggest musical comeback since Mariah Carey with The Emancipation of Mimi.’
The rumoured grand return comes after her last two albums failed to reach the heights of her heyday, and fans are now ready for her renaissance.
In April, the Teenage Dream singer’s fans were hard at work on X, with a campaign to support the star along with the hashtag #JUSTICEFORKATYPERRY.
As a result, her fanbase have pushed her fifth studio album Witness to the top of several countries’ iTunes charts, nearly seven years after its release – with some fans claiming that the record’s release was originally sabotaged back in 2017.
The album topped the charts in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Turkey, Vietnam, Peru, Guatemala, Philippines, Jordan and other countries.
To this day, Katy has released six studio albums, with her most recent one being Smile in 2020.
In December 2023, it was reported that the pop superstar was said to be putting the final touches to her ‘most personal album ever’ after Smile and will perform it for British crowds sometime in late 2024.
