The global music sensation reportedly pocketed a staggering fee for her exclusive performance at the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.
Sources close to the event have revealed that the pop icon’s compensation for this one-night spectacle ranged between $8 million and $9 million (approximately R171 million).
This grand event, aptly named ‘An Evening in Everland,’ marks a rare occasion for Rihanna, who is predominantly known for her electrifying public concerts rather than private gigs.
Her performance fee for this private event significantly overshadows the remuneration for her last major public appearance – the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, which, by the way, she was not paid a dime.
What songs did Rihanna perform?
During the opulent affair, Rihanna graced the audience with a 19-song setlist that spanned the breadth of her illustrious career.
The set included chart-toppers like B**** Better Have My Money, Wild Thoughts, and Rude Boy, among others.
Attendees were also treated to renditions of her iconic hits Work, We Found Love, Umbrella, Stay, and Diamonds.
Who is Anant Ambani?
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani – India’s most formidable business magnate and chairman of Reliance Industries, has been a figure of considerable interest.
Born on 10 April 1995, in Mumbai, Anant has grown up in the limelight alongside his siblings Akash and Isha.
An alumnus of Dhirubhai Ambani International School and Brown University, Rhode Island, Anant is frequently spotted at major sporting events, notably those involving the Mumbai Indians, a cricket team owned by Reliance Industries.
Despite maintaining a low profile on social media, Anant’s involvement in the family business and various social activities, under the guidance of his mother, Nita Ambani, has been steadily increasing.
