Rema gets $3 million to perform ‘Calm Down’ at Anant Ambani’s wedding

Rema performed alongside Peutorican star Louis Fonsi and Justin Beiber at the high-octane wedding.

Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, paid Nigerian music superstar Rema $3 million to perform at his youngest son, Anant Ambani’s wedding, Indian news outlet Hindustantimes reports.

Mr Ambani is an Indian businessman and the Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries. With an estimated net worth of $123.3 billion as of July 2024, he is the wealthiest person in India and the 11th most prosperous in the world.

Anant Ambani, 29, is marrying his longtime girlfriend, Radhika Merchant, in what many have dubbed the wedding of the year. This grand and significant seven-month event has captured the global community’s attention. The arrangement highlights the billionaire’s staggering wealth and rising clout.

Rema arrived in India on Friday to perform at the star-studded wedding at the Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Centre (BKC) in Mumbai. The couple had their roka ceremony (a pre-wedding event that marks the beginning of the marriage process for many Indian weddings) in 2022 and an engagement in 2023.

Apart from Rema, Peutorican star Louis Fonsi of Despacito fame and Justin Beiber, who were reportedly paid $10m, also attended and performed.
