Here’s How Much Rihanna Was Paid for Performing for the Heir of India’s Richest Man

Rihanna was accused of doing the “bare minimum” at a wedding celebration for an affluent family in India on Saturday night. According to the Daily Mail, the singer received $6.3 million for a pre-wedding event in Gujarat thrown by billionaire Mukesh Ambani for his son Anant, who will marry Radhika Merchant in Mumbai in July.

Among the 1,200+ attendees were Mark Zuckerberg, Ivanka Trump, and Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Anil Kapoor, Amir Khan, and Deepika Padukone.

Rihanna sang classics like “Umbrella,” “Work,” and “Diamonds”. “Thanks to the Ambani family, I’m here tonight to commemorate Anant and Radhika. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you the best. The singer-turned-entrepreneur expressed congratulations, as reported by the Post.

Wealthy families in India typically prepare large parties several weeks or months before a wedding, according to the site, with the ceremonies often costing more than $150 million.

Rihanna wore a body-hugging green and pink ensemble for her performance at the wedding reception, but fans were not delighted, slamming her show as “boring”

.“She got that coin and said f–k y’all ima do what I can”, one X user said.

“I’ve always said she’s an incredibly lazy performer…..she never took the time to improve her performances,” another wrote.

Rihanna, who was dubbed Forbes’ “richest female musician” in 2021, had been absent from the stage for nearly eight years. The Fenty business owner and now mother of two boys with fellow rapper, A$AP Rocky may, however, be releasing new music shortly.

Last month, while Rocky posed for a selfie with a fan in Paris, as shown in an X video, someone asked him to tell Rihanna that fans can’t wait for her new album. “She’s working on it,” Rocky says.
