Justin Bieber performed at an event hosted by India’s wealthiest family, the Ambani family, for future newlyweds Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Bieber performed for their pre-wedding ceremony which is traditionally called a sangeet.
Why It Matters: It’s not everyday a Grammy Award winning artist will perform at a wedding; however, the Ambani family’s connections allow them to have such experiences that only those with a certain amount of power and money can have.
Key Points:
According to Fortune magazine, Bieber was paid ten million dollars for the private gig.
The singer shared his experiences via Instagram where he can be seen interacting with the guests.
Bieber performed a few of his hit songs, including “Baby”, “Peaches”, and “Love Yourself.”
At the end of his performance, Bieber brought the bride and groom onto the stage with him to celebrate and congratulate them.
Right after his performance he flew straight back to America to reunite with his wife, Hailey Bieber, who is pregnant with their first child.
