Meet the artist with a link to Mukesh Ambani who is a hairdresser’s daughter and now demands Rs 200 crore for a concert

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, their youngest son, recently had their opulent pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, hosted by Mukesh and Nita Ambani.

Renowned performers like Arijit Singh, Pritam, B Praak, Diljit Dosanjh, Hariharan, and Ajay-Atul graced the stage during the grand pre-wedding celebrations. Global pop diva Rihanna, who is regarded as one of the highest-paid musicians in the world, has joined the star-studded roster.

The cost of Rihanna’s involvement is high; according to sources, her pay for private events ranges from Rs 66 crore ($12 million) to Rs 12 crore ($1.5 million). In the meanwhile, Beyoncé Knowles, another music legend, attended the formal inauguration of the opulent Atlantis The Royal hotel in Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah in January 2023.

Beyonce is said to have demanded a price of at least $24 million (more than Rs 200 crore) for her performance at the exclusive invite-only event, which was attended by global financiers and Middle Eastern elites. This makes it the most expensive private performance in history. The story of Beyonce’s rise from impoverished origins to superstar status is well known. Her working-class parents gave her a Texas birth in 1981, and she showed musical skill at a young age. Her mom worked as a hair stylist.

She became well-known as a member of the group Destiny’s Child and went on to have a successful solo career. Beyonce’s enormous success and influence in the music business are reflected in her current net worth of $800 million (around Rs. 6500 crore). Notably, she was paid $3–4 million (about Rs. 22–30 crore) to sing at the wedding of Mukesh Ambani’s daughter, Isha Ambani, in Udaipur in December 2018.
